Little Footprints Big Steps

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.

Little Footprints Big Steps (LFBS) is a non-profit organization that works to protect vulnerable children in Haiti by reuniting families and empowering them with resources and opportunities to build a self-sufficient future. By reinforcing their family unit, we strive to foster the health, self-worth and social reintegration of children who have been mistreated. We respect and value Haitian autonomy by working with local staff, authorities and partners.

Our work spans from comprehensive care provided in our transitional safehouses to inclusive community interventions ranging from education and vocational training, business start-up activities, to mental health, nutritional, and medical care. A respected leader in the children’s rights field, LFBS is widely acknowledged for our holistic approach to child protection and sustainable family development. In collaboration with Haitian Social Services (IBESR), UNICEF, LUMOS, and other stakeholders, LFBS works to fulfill the right of every child in Haiti to grow up in a safe and loving family environment.
