About Us

Children belong in safe, loving and self-sustaining families — not orphanages.

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 Outreach Program helps Haitian families with support and resources they need to preserve the family unit and pursue self-sufficiency. Photo by GBP Creative. © 2019 Shot In The Dark Media.

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.
