​Give Haitian Refugee Children the Gift of Education

​

Many Haitian refugee children lack the privilege of attending school. With no access to formal education, many remain illiterate, unable to develop their God-given potential.

Let’s change their future by establishing a Christian school where they can:

• Discover Jesus: Build a strong foundation of faith and hope in Christ.

• Learn and Grow: Receive a quality education that equips them for a brighter future.

• Unleash Their Potential: Develop skills that will enable them to contribute meaningfully to their families and communities.

Your support can help us allow these children to learn, dream, and thrive. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their lives and futures.

Haitian refugees in the Dominican Republic face numerous legal challenges that require specialized assistance to address. Some of the key areas where legal help is needed include:

​

1. Documentation and Legal Status

• Regularization of Immigration Status: Many Haitian refugees lack proper documentation, making them vulnerable to deportation and limiting access to services. Legal help is needed to navigate the process of obtaining residency or work permits.

• Birth Registration for Children: Children born in the Dominican Republic to Haitian parents often face challenges in obtaining birth certificates, leaving them stateless and without access to education or healthcare.

​

2. Protection Against Discrimination and Exploitation

• Workplace Rights: Refugees often face exploitation in informal labor markets, with low wages and poor working conditions. Legal advocacy is essential to protect their labor rights.

• Anti-Discrimination Cases: Haitians in the Dominican Republic frequently experience racial and ethnic discrimination. Legal support can help address cases of abuse, violence, or denial of services.

​

3. Access to Basic Services

• Education Rights: Legal assistance is needed to ensure that refugee children can enroll in schools, even if they lack proper documentation.

• Healthcare Access: Refugees may require help navigating legal barriers to accessing public healthcare services.

​

4. Family Reunification

• Reuniting Families: Legal aid can assist refugees in reuniting with family members who may be in Haiti or other countries.

• Guardianship and Custody Issues: Refugee families may face legal challenges related to the custody of children, especially if parents are detained or deported.

​

5. Protection from Deportation

• Deportation Defense: Refugees often face the threat of deportation, even when they have lived in the Dominican Republic for years. Legal representation can help them challenge deportation orders.

​

6. Advocacy for Refugee Rights

• Asylum Applications: Legal help is crucial for those seeking asylum, as the process can be complex and difficult to navigate without assistance.

• Human Rights Advocacy: Legal professionals can work to uphold the rights of refugees under international treaties and agreements, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention.

​

7. Addressing Statelessness

• Resolution of Statelessness: Many Haitian refugees and their descendants are stateless due to a lack of recognition by both Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Legal aid can help individuals gain nationality and rights.

​

8. Land and Housing Rights

• Housing Disputes: Refugees living in informal settlements may face eviction or disputes over land ownership. Legal assistance can help secure their rights to shelter.

​

9. Criminal Defense and Justice

• Legal Representation: Refugees accused of crimes often lack access to legal representation, making them vulnerable to unfair treatment in the justice system.

• Victim Advocacy: Refugees who are victims of crime need legal support to report incidents and seek justice.

​

Providing these forms of legal assistance can significantly improve the lives of Haitian refugees, helping them achieve stability, security, and the ability to contribute positively to their communities.

​Living in makeshift homes in the Dominican Republic, especially in its hot and humid climate, presents significant challenges:

​​

​

1. Inadequate Shelter

   • Makeshift homes are often constructed from scraps of wood, metal, or plastic sheeting, offering little protection against the elements.

   • These structures are not insulated, making them unbearably hot during the day and offering no relief from the tropical heat at night.

2. Lack of Basic Utilities

   • Most makeshift homes lack access to electricity, leaving families without fans or lighting to cope with the heat.

   • Running water is often unavailable, forcing residents to rely on distant or unreliable sources for drinking, cooking, and cleaning.

3. Health Risks

   • The heat and poor ventilation create a stifling environment that can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other health issues.

   • Pests like mosquitoes and rodents thrive in these conditions, spreading diseases like dengue fever and leptospirosis.

4. Overcrowding and Lack of Privacy

   • Families often live in cramped quarters, with multiple people sharing small spaces.

   • Privacy is minimal, adding to the emotional strain of daily life.

5. Environmental Hazards

   • Makeshift homes are vulnerable to heavy rains and storms, common in the Dominican Republic. Flooding and leaks can damage homes and belongings, creating unsafe living conditions.

   • In areas near landfills, like Duquesa, families are exposed to toxic fumes, pollution, and unsanitary conditions that exacerbate health risks.

6. Economic Struggles

   • Residents of makeshift homes often face limited job opportunities, making it difficult to improve their living conditions.

   • Many families live hand-to-mouth, unable to afford materials to repair or upgrade their homes.

7. Emotional and Psychological Impact

   • The stress of living in such conditions takes a toll on mental health, leading to feelings of hopelessness and despair.

   • Parents worry about their children’s safety, health, and future, as these conditions hinder education and development.

​​

​

Despite these challenges, many families display remarkable resilience and hope through Jesus Christ, striving to create a better future for their children. However, they urgently need support to break free from the cycle of poverty and improve their living conditions.
