Women's Issues
Lidé takes a whole-person approach to building capacity, empowerment and resiliency among at-risk adolescent girls and differently abled youth who have been denied equal access to education across rural Haiti.
Our creative arts programs enable girls to increase their creativity, resiliency, hope, motivation, problem-solving capacities and self-confidence. Our academic support programs expands girls' educational attainment by offering primary, secondary, university, and vocational school scholarships, training in literacy, numeracy, and computer skills, and tutoring in diverse subjects such as math, science, and French. Our health programming strengthens girls’ mental and physical health through daily nutritious meals, medical services, individualized counseling, family planning education, and psychosocial support services. And, our transitions program helps prepare participants for adulthood through training on career development and parenting education. Combined, these programs create an ecosystem that allows girls to find their voices, thrive, and become actively engaged participants in their communities.
