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.

Haiticorps was founded in the days following the major earthquake of January 12, 2010 that destroyed a good part of Port-au-Prince, Haiti and surrounding towns. From this devastation grew an urgency from children, grandchildren, and allies of Ayiti Toma (the Kreyòl name for Haiti) to work to restore Haiti and her proud people to their fullest potential. Haiticorps was founded to help with this tremendous undertaking through collaboration and building human capital.

This organization is dedicated to 100% transparency - 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to our projects, period. My goal, in this forum, is to connect those of you that have something to share, a desire to help and make things happen with the individuals, groups or projects (our own, or otherwise) where you can make the greatest difference to the most people.

I currently have access to 113,000 PuR water filtration (calcium hydrochlorite) satchets, each of which can filter 10L of water.

I also have plenty of ideas and potential contacts and resources to draw from. Contact me with your ideas and we'll do everything possible to make some good things happen.

What we lack in financial resources, we make up for exponentially with experience, background and a 'nothing's impossible' approach to everything. Tested and proven:)
