There’s no shortage of excellent organizations that are working in Haiti and could use your support!  However, since we focus on modern day slavery it’s appropriate to highlight the Restavek Foundation.

Just a 2 hour plane ride from Miami, you will find thousands of children forced into domestic servitude.  The Haitians call them restaveks.  They are the children of poor families who are unknowingly sent to live as slaves in exchange for the false promise of a better life.  We want to fulfill this promise and set them free through education and love.

You can read more about what a restavek is here.  The man behind the Restavek Foundation was once a part of the system.  Jean-Robert Cadet was once a slave in Haiti and now lives in Cincinnati and travels around the United States and Europe raising awareness about the plight of restaveks and advocating on their behalf.  You can read more about his mission here.

Naturally they are now taking part in the relief work in Haiti, and we want to help!  Over the months of January and February at least 15% of our sales revenue will be donated to the Restavek Foundation.  In addition to the direct benefits of your purchase, we’ll donate our revenue to the relief efforts in Haiti.  If you were waiting to make a purchase, now is the time! If you’re interested in donating yourself, you can do so here.  Please watch this video and pass along the information about this great organization
