Economic reintegration of young people in disadvantaged neighborhoods

As part of its Community Violence Reduction (CVR) program, Minujusth supports a project to improve living conditions in disadvantaged neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien through the economic reintegration of young people at risk. It is in this context that Minujusth has teamed up with the Don Bosco Rinaldi / Salesians Foundation, which specializes in the recovery and support of street children and young people, in order to give them academic and economic opportunities. This project has been implemented since summer 2018 thanks to the partnership with the association "Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo" (VIS) and the Institute of Social Welfare and Research (IBESR).
