Bring Joy
To encourage her during difficult times, her father created small videos simply to make her smile.
Ley For Kids Global Initiative was founded around the journey of Ley Ad Clarim Sainvil, a young Haitian girl. At just eight years old, Ley was forced to leave Haiti with her family because of violence. While rebuilding their lives in the United States, her father founded Stand Up For The Future to support vulnerable communities through community peacebuilding. From the very beginning, Ley had one simple dream. She wanted every child to smile.
