LFBS services include:

• Child Protection and Care: LFBS operates two separate Transitional Safe houses for boys and girls in the southern city of Les Cayes, Haiti. The children are most often rescued from emergency situations, abusive institutions or dangerous street conditions. They are referred to LFBS temporary care by local authorities. The Transitional Safe houses operate 24-hours a day to provide protection and healing while LFBS works with local and national authorities to reunify them with their families or find alternative community-based care. While in transition, the team of local LFBS staff focuses on the children’s physical, mental and emotional well-being with medicine, nutrition, education and — most of all — loving care.

  • Family reunification, strengthening, mentorship and mediation
