- Haiti is not only facing a humanitarian crisis,it is facing a generational emergency.
- One in three girls in Haiti experiences sexual violence before the age of 18.
- Survivors are not only left with the scars of trauma; they are rejected, stigmatized, and abandoned by their families and society.
- With almost no specialized facilities for child and adolescent survivors, most girls never receive:
- Emergency medical care to address physical and reproductive consequences.
- Psychological care to heal from deep trauma.
- Legal protection or advocacy to defend their rights.
- Educational access to rebuild their future.
The impact is catastrophic: - Teenage pregnancies with no safe support system.
- High suicide rates among adolescents with untreated trauma.
- Recruitment into gangs, prostitution, or forced labor, perpetuating cycles of exploitation.
- Intergenerational poverty and violence, locking entire communities in despair.
At present, existing responses in Haiti are fragmented, underfunded, and reactive. NGOs and hospitals try to fill the gap, but there is no systemic, comprehensive solution dedicated to the long-term recovery and reintegration of these girls.
This is the gap Wellfiks Foundation is designed to fill.
Wellfiks Foundation exists to:
- Break the cycle of silence, stigma, and abandonment.
- Provide a structured, multidisciplinary, and sustainable model of care.
- Offer safety, healing, education, and empowerment under one roof.
- Transform today’s victims into tomorrow’s leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.
