Transitional Ministry

At the age of 18, Social Services says that boys and girls can no longer legally live in orphanages.” They have reached an age that calls them predators of children, instead of just children. And far too often this has been proven to be true. It is a serious problem because these children are not yet ready to be put out onto the streets. But that is the way rules are: needed for some, and not fair to the rest. Like it or not, we must follow the rules dictated to us by the Haitian Government.

So to help these young people finish their education, grow, and learn to be good citizens, contributing to their communities, we are providing separate boys and girls transition homes. The best kids are selected to move to these homes where they are given more opportunities and have more responsibilities.

Just like you. We don’t want to release our children until they are really ready.
