Economic Development

“Men anpil chay pa lou. / Many hands make the load lighter.” -Haitian proverb

Building dignity . . .

The people living in rural communities survive on sustenance farming, trying to scratch out an existence by growing some food to feed their families. ISA Economic Initiatives empower our friends to develop sustainable financial independence, community development, and dignity. 

Our Goat and Seed Projects provide families with additional income for better nutrition and health, schooling their children, and basic stability. 

The pilot Goat Project selected five recipient families who were given two female goats each and a male goat for breeding. Each family will give back two goats to other church members to ensure that benefits spread within the community. An agronomist provided vaccinations and two days of intensive training.

 

The Seed Project is flourishing in its third growing season.

Building community . . .

Faith Church and School in Cap-Haitien and Pignon Church are beacons of hope to their surrounding communities. But they are at critical stages. Faith Church's present facility is primitive and unable to accommodate all the people who want to receive its ministries, and the school needs more classrooms. 

In 2022, the walls of Pignon Church collapsed. Worship services and ministries were conducted outdoors until ISA financed a rental facility. A diligent search is underway for a new site. We are sending an engineering team for a site survey and will develop a suitable construction plan.

Working in collaboration with compassionate churches and groups, ISA installed a well at Faith Church. Now, a community of over 2,500 people has a local source of safe drinking water.
