There are 4 incredible levels of donation & sponsorship for those who want to help further the vision of Essentials First & the Renand Foundation.
Our mission is to protect children who are at risk of becoming restaveks – children forced into slave and sex trafficking. It is estimated there are over 300,000 children living in this circumstance in Haiti and thousands more across the world. Many of the Haitian children lost both parents in the 2010 earthquake, which created massive numbers of homeless children with very few survival options. Other children are at risk due to the high levels of poverty in large families. Our program is sound and sustainable and works very effectively within at risk communities to protect children and families from underage work and sex trafficking.
Our wellness program creates local jobs and generates resources for food, shelter, education, medical and dental care so families can stay together. We are providing Haitian families the opportunity to rebuild their families, communities and nation through their own efforts. We teach self-respect and empowerment through equal partnerships, awareness and education.
We have a multi-faceted approach to our donation and sponsor programs, which is VERY EXCITING! We have the traditional options of donating money, but we also have a unique way of supporting our wellness program that’s a truly game changing approach to supporting transformation and change, one life at a time. We just know you’re going to be inspired and motivated when you sponsor our work.
THE EMPOWERMENT MODEL – PROGRESSING SELF SUFFICIENCY
We believe that communities in crisis need models of engagement that empower their skills and talents while creating confidence and resiliency. Rather than just providing a handout, our more innovative sponsorship options utilize donations to employ our families as well as optimizing proven business models such as dōTERRA Essential Oils and the manufacturing of Essential Lunar Trackers. These options help the parents of Haitian children become self-sufficient and keep their families together. We’re always looking for new projects and new ways to get people jobs and education rather than them relying on welfare. We’ve personally witnessed significant psychological and physical change within our Haitian communities since adopting an empowerment approach and believe this is the way to move forward, but we need your help.
