Grants Coordinator Intern / Placement Student

Little Footprints Big Steps (LFBS) is a Canadian International Development

Organization operating in Haiti that works to protect vulnerable children by reuniting

families and empowering them with resources and opportunities to build a self-

sufficient future. LFBS empowers vulnerable families that have been separated, or who

are at risk of separation, by supporting local protection authorities in building a

stronger child protection network. LFBS works to keep families together by addressing

the root causes of separation and poverty through programming in child well-being

and development, family and community development, advocacy of child rights, and

community health.
