Summary: Staff/Community training to provide support for vulnerable children in Les Cayes, Haiti


This District Grant request is being made to support Little Footprints Big Steps, which is a charitable organization founded by a young lady from Whitehorse, Yukon. Morgan Weinberg has been working with youth in Haiti for the last six years, rescuing children from corrupt orphanages and helping street kids get off the street. The main focus of this organization has been to support these children by establishing "Safe Houses" to assist in transitioning street kids back to their families where possible. At this point Little Footprints Big Steps supports over 250 children in the area of Les Cayes, Haiti. A request has been made by Morgan for help with staff and community training costs to benefit the children in the safe houses and their families. The training will support her limited staff.

The Rotary Club of Whitby in Ontario, Canada has proposed a Rotary Project with the title "Education Support for Vulnerable Children in Haiti" which our club wishes to contribute $2500 USD and match with a District 5010 Grant of $2500. It is anticipated that the projects will be completed by June 30, 2018.
