Haiti is the poorest Country in the Western Hemisphere; as in any underdeveloped nation, the citizens suffer the most, especially children. Annually, more than 50,000 children are trafficked to the Domican Republic to provide child labour and for sexual exploitation. Part of our multi-pronged approach to end child trafficking in the country is to empower the community. Through our Whole Family Approach, Children and families are supported through food, education, spiritual guidance and the meeting of their most basic needs.
The “restavek system” in the country that has for centuries encouraged child trafficking must come to an end!

Two great mandates which were given to believers by Jesus are: to share the good news of the gospel and destroy the work of the devil. The two can be attained by fighting human trafficking and helping the poor. God’s Chosen Ones Ministry strategically empowers individuals in Haiti by offering support to impoverished children and families. We provide help by providing educational opportunities and other resources to not only children, but the entire family, to improve their current living conditions in Haiti. We work together with local communities to ensure that all children have access to basic needs and create programs for a positive change in their lives.

Haiti is currently facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, with widespread gang violence, political instability, and economic collapse, leaving millions of people in urgent need of assistance. Nearly half of the population faces severe food insecurity, and over 5.5 million Haitians, including 3 million children, are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. The violence has displaced hundreds of thousands, destroyed homes, and limited access to basic services like food, water, and medical care.

The situation for children is particularly dire, with many schools closed due to violence, forcing children out of education and into danger. Many are at risk of malnutrition, exploitation, and recruitment by armed groups. The health system is also on the brink of collapse, exacerbated by the resurgence of cholera and other diseases.

The people of Haiti urgently need your help. GCOM is committed to supporting vulnerable children and families through this crisis. Your donations can provide essential aid—food, shelter, and medical supplies—and offer hope in a time of despair.

Haiti's Vulnerable Children

Imagine living in a country where 1/4th of the population earns less than a dollar a day. Now imagine you have 10 mouths to feed and not enough resources to even buy one day’s worth of groceries. For such families, when an offer arises for their child to stay with a wealthier family to serve them in exchange for food, shelter, clothing and an education; it is considered a better option as opposed to surviving abject poverty.
The restavek system has made children under 15 years of age, the most vulnerable.
Every day, no less than 100 children are smuggled out of Haiti to work as slave labor and for sexual exploitation
Human trafficking and slave labor are rampant in Haiti. After the disastrous earthquake 10 years ago, many children were left orphaned and without any real family to look after them. Abysmal living conditions, lack of opportunities, and the socially accepted practice of the Restavek system have paved the way for child trafficking from Haiti to the neighboring Dominican Republic.
While the border authorities turn a blind eye to this heinous crime, we at God’s Chosen Ones Ministry, are determined to fight human trafficking by taking steps to minimize poverty and contribute to the empowerment of Haitian families.

Child Trafficking

Respire Haiti wants to end the practice of restaveks by incrementally changing the cultural attitudes about child slavery through holistic education, medical care and community programs.

Inspired by a post by Tim Ballard (Operation Underground Railroad)… approach local Christian schools, Charter Schools, and eventually Public Schools offering to help start student led “Students Against Trafficking in Haiti Clubs”…


Not only would it be a great way to increase awareness, but they could also do fundraising and even sponsor children!!

After identifying a teacher that will work with students, provide them with a simple “kit” to help them get started.

Just a thought!
