Description

CTWWC Haiti focuses on preventing the separation of children from their families by building the capacity of community child protection committees, and strengthening families with parenting skills training and economic strengthening. Case management for reunification and reintegration has supported children with disabilities to return to family care - with birth parents, kin and, in some cases, foster families.

CTWWC Haiti works in partnership with community organizations, Catholic Church partners, residential care facilities and community leaders. In response to emergencies, COVID and natural disasters, CTWWC Haiti connects with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) long history with emergency response.

CTWWC Haiti works with Catholic residential care facilities to reunify children and transition to community support services. This experience includes services for children with disabilities. CRS Haiti is a partner to an anti-trafficking initiative in the country, which includes raising awareness around the connection of residential care with trafficking and helping to build capacity for reunification.
