Our social worker, Fedy, had tried to explain to me that many children in Haiti are "fatherless." But I learn best with data. I did not truly understand the problem until today.
No Time For Poverty conducted a household survey in the southern region of Haiti. Ninety percent of the households are female-headed households. Ninety percent. Just under ten percent of children are living with their father (or even a step-father) in their home.
I'm beginning to understand.
