Enel has extensive experience in child protection and family preservation in Haiti, especially with the Haitian government where he has worked for 8 years (2009 – 2017) as the South Coordinator for IBESR. Throughout his experience, Enel has concentrated his knowledge and efforts in helping vulnerable children and their families by preventing family separation and child abuse and neglect by focusing on the care of the most at-risk children (abandoned, victims of abuse, street children, delinquents, orphans and those separated from parents). Enel has also participated in policy reforms in Haiti. Since 2014, he has played a key role in the foster family system which has been established in Haiti, mostly in the South Department. Enel has created the most reliable and operational network of child protection partners in Haiti, the Work Group for Child Protection (GTPE-South) which includes and involves the key institutions in the Southern department working in child protection.

In 2017, Enel launched CFRAPS which aims to strengthen the capacity of families and communities to facilitate the family and the social reintegration of separated children and youth with their parents.
