MISSION -

Restavec Freedom Alliance is dedicated to providing relief for restavec children, children who are 'given' to families and used for slave labor. RFA's mission is to provide a safe, stable, family centered environment for these children.

Homes of Refuge will be set up with the Pastor's families as the supporting parents. Each child will have access to an education, medical support, loving care, psychiatric care, and adequate food, clean water and sanitary facilities. Most importantly, each child will have access to a childhood.

History of Restavec Freedom Alliance:

The discussion surrounding the forming of the Restavec Freedom Alliance occurred in August 2010. During a mission visit working with the HELO orphanages, Pastor Jean Beaucejour spoke with Ellen, sharing with her the plight of the Restavec children and his vision as to how to help. During deep discussions with her family upon returning to the states, Pastor Lubin in the US, and within her own soul, Ellen found that this was exactly what should be done and how she could best assist in helping. Working together with both Pastor Jean and Lubin, and others that spiritually supported her, the alliance became a reality and start up money was given by the most generous of ladies. Fundraising officially began, and Pastor Jean set up a network within his communities to determine which restavec children he could free from their circumstances. The first area to house these children was determined, and the first parents were named. The home plans to open in December 2010 with our first group. We have a waiting list of another 30 children.

18 December 2010 11:11 .On December 14th, a long awaited email arrived to Pastor Lubin and Ellen Graber Donohue.
Dear Manmy Ellen and BEM Leaders,
We are so happy to announce the arrival of the frist group of the RESTAVEC FREEDOM PROGRAM AT OUR FIRST HOME OF REFUGE AT CHANTAL. So, definitely December 14, 2010 , The Restavec Freedom Alliance is making history.16 children who were mostly serving as pratically slaves are from today FREE. By the grace of God, more than what I expected to show up came, I couldn't turn them down. They are eager to be free and find their human dignity once again. So we endup having those sixteen to start with. BUT MANY OTHER ONES ARE ON OUR WAITTING LIST for the second home I promise them that's soon to be opened.
