Village Voices: Astrid de Vries, Kids Connection Haiti
Having lived in Haiti and worked in an orphanage there, Astrid de Vries was deeply concerned about the future of the young people when they leave the facility. In 2019 she founded Kids Connection Haiti "to support a very specific target community: young women and men from 18 to 25 years old who grew up in extreme poverty, whether from orphanages, homelessness, child slavery situations, or coming from Haiti's most challenging slums. KCH welcomes them all. It provides them with support for the next step in life." With the tragic chaos in Haiti, her efforts are a bright spot in the lives of these youngsters. Join us to hear about this unique program.
