Restavec Freedom Alliance

Restavec Freedom Alliance is dedicated to providing relief for the Restavek children, children who are “given” to families and used as slaves in Haiti. Our mission is to offer a safe, stable, family centered environment for these children so that each child can receive the childhood they deserve – nothing like their life as a Restavek. Each child will have access to an education, medical support, loving care, psychiatric care, and adequate food, clean water and sanitary facilities.
