Our facility is not an orphanage, but a transitional safe house. Children rescued from situations of abuse, slavery, homelessness or severe neglect have been placed in our care by Haitian authorities. We provide a family setting for these children, with security and 24 hour supervision. We provide at least 3 nutritionally dense meals daily and try to accomodate each individual child's dietary needs for optimal health by providing supplements such as vitamins and special foods. In our facility, children will recieve basic medical care and regular medical check ups. If a child has more serious medical conditions, we will arrange for these to be addressed and treated. Shelter, tutoring, and therapeutic services are also provided to children in our safe house. Our goal is to help these children, not only physically, but also in developing psychosocial and coping skills that their traumatic pasts may have deprived them of.

Peace Sisters assists over 470 underprivileged girls to access educational opportunities in Togo, West Africa. Peace Sisters was founded by Tina Kampor, a Togolese American woman who moved to California in 2003 and worked hard so she would be able to send money back to Togo to help girls who might otherwise have dropped out of school. School fee payments, solar study lamps, ID Cards, menstrual pads, and basic health insurance are some of the ways that Peace Sisters helps girls to succeed in their education. In 2021, Peace Sisters celebrated the first college graduation by a girl in our program!
