Mission Statement
The Kids Connection Haiti (KCH) mission is to empower at-risk young adults in Haiti to become contributing, self-sufficient community members through education, life skills training, community service, mentorship, and career development.
Description
KCH was founded to support a very specific target community: young women and men from 18 to 25 years old who grew up in extreme poverty, whether from orphanages, homelessness, child slavery situations, or coming from Haiti’s most challenging slums. KCH welcomes them all. It provides them with support for the next step in life. Since the program was founded, over a hundred young adults have gone through our doors. 99% of them graduated with a diploma, and 92% found paid employment - an incredible high success rate in a country where unemployment hovers around 60%. We have increased our field staff and diversified our local partnerships with community-based organizations.
