A City Within A City

EHM's goal for self sufficiency is on the top priority list. One thing we do NOT want is hand outs and the mentality it gives to the people of Haiti (and in America too). We are passionate about helping families rise above the statistics and not live day by day when most people are living under $2 a day.

We began phase 1 of the industry buy teaching the women what the Word of God says about integrity, money making and handling we also equipped them with basic knowledge of business ethics. The women attend our classes, participate in the feeding program for a long period of time and are prayerfully and carefully chosen to receive the loans.
 
Proverbs 11:1  "Scales of deceit are hated by the Lord, but a true weight is His delight."

Phase 2 happened December 1st thanks to a supporter of EHM.  We started empowering the women by investing a start up fee into a new small business. By becoming entrepreneurs they can sell high demand and non competitive items to the locals in the market and from their homes. The women are held accountable, still doing the business classes and our Ministry Manager Pierre is on site making sure the women are being held accountable, being encouraged and being good stewards of their gifts.

Investing in jobs for this community means more opportunities for Haiti, less dependency on others and more dependency on God!

Phase 3: Coming this May. Again, we are not into "hand outs" and that goes for this program as well. Each woman is required to pay back the full $130 to EHM so that we empower yet another woman who is ready to begin the road to sufficiency as well! This brings encouragement and motivation to a whole new level.... "When I do well, work hard and save... my sister/friend/cousin/daughter will get a job and have success too". God is taking what is one of the poorest, under educated and weakest communities in Montrouis and making it to be the "City on a Hill" which can not be hidden because of the light of Christ that shines even through their jobs!
