Our Children's Respite Home, Maison de Benediction, cares for some of Haiti's most at risk and vulnerable children, providing care to children with physical and developmental special needs.


Challenge

Children with disabilities in Haiti face severe discrimination, making them some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in the country. Consequently, children with disabilities are often abandoned by their parents who are unable to provide the full time, specialist care the children need.

Long-Term Impact

Thanks to the Maison's efforts within the wider community, we've seen stigma against children with disabilities decrease, schools enrolling children with disabilities for the first time and children receiving life-transforming mobility aids like wheelchairs and much more. Our goal is to maintain and develop this pioneering programme.
