What is the future for our children after rehabilitation?
We prepare them to be economically independent, integrated into society and active in their communities.
Once hopeless, these four children are now on the doorstep of completing the rehabilitation program at our centers and are now training in the profession of their choice. Our mission to educate, equip and empower underprivileged children continues to succeed, and these four young people are living proof. These children have received all the training they need to have a clear vision of their future and to choose the profession in which they wish to flourish. These professions, essential in today’s market, will not only give them the means to support themselves, but also the ability to actively contribute to their communities.
In addition to the rehabilitation program, these children have become men and women of faith. Once back in their communities, they will carry the light of transformation and share God’s Word with other children in need.
Our work is transforming not only their future, but that of an entire generation that could have been left behind without support. Together, we have the power to change lives and build a better future for these young people and for the entire Haitian community.

TRASH VILLAGE
Truitier, in the Cité Soleil district, a part of Haiti’s capital known as “TRASH VILLAGE” is one of Haiti’s poorest and most dangerous areas. The vast majority of Port-au-Prince’s garbage is dumped there, and there is no proper waste separation or treatment system established. Desperate people live there, digging through garbage and finding plastic substances to sell along with other things so they can survive. Smoke from burning trash covers this village all year around. Children often run through burning trash with bare feet and get injured while they receive little to no proper care for their injuries. Among all the aspects of this situation that is raging, specifically the youngest part of the population of that area, a Korean NGO has brought a ray of hope by founding a school called “Hope school” in 2018. The school was providing free quality education along with daily meals to 145 children who are in desperate need.
Due to the acts of banditry and violence terrorizing the Haitian people, the Korean NGO has decided to close its doors and will no longer support the school as it is forced to leave Haiti under direct orders from the Korean government. Without its support, 145 children will lose their free education and daily meals. In addition, the Korean NGO had planned to construct a building to house 400 more vulnerable children in need of care, education and hope for the future, but unfortunately this project has been completely cancelled. This sudden withdrawal of support will be devastating for the children of Truitier, who depended on the school not only for their education but also for their daily livelihood.
We invite community leaders, international organisations and compassionate individuals to join forces and fill the void left by the NGO’s unfortunate departure.
With a daily contribution of just $1 for food and $1 for school for 12 months, you can give these children hope. To donate, go to www.dfimission.org where there is a section dedicated to TRASH VILLAGE.
Join us in securing a brighter future for the children of Truitier. Support the TRASH VILLAGE and help ensure they continue to receive the education and care they so desperately need.
UNITED Nations Human Rights High Commissioner Volker Türk appeals for more assistance to address the ongoing gang crisis in Haiti. He says it pains him “to see the deportations, mistreatment and hateful and racist smears that target Haitians in some countries of the region.” BY UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
The Dominican Republic is carrying out “a discriminatory campaign” against Haitians based on their nationality and the color of their skin, Haiti’s acting representative to the Organization of American States charged Tuesday. That campaign, which the Dominican government said focuses on expelling up to 10,000 Haitians a week, risks further aggravating the humanitarian crisis in Haiti and fueling instability in the region, Ambassador Gandy Thomas warned.
