Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $3.3 million spent. MINISTRY - MINISTRY IS ONE OF THE ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS OF MISSION OFHOPE, ALLOWING US TO SERVE THE NATIONS OF HAITI AND THE DOMINICANREPUBLIC THROUGH SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIPS, CHURCH ADVANCEMENT THROUGHTHE LOCAL CHURCH, AND PASTOR TRAINING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT FULFILLOUR MISSION. THIS PAST YEAR MISSION TRIPS WERE ON PAUSE IN HAITI BUTSTILL HAVE BEEN GOING ON IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THOUGH MINISTRYTHROUGH THE PARTICIPATION OF NORTH AMERICANS HAS BEEN ON PAUSE INHAITI, OUR INDIGENOUS LEADERS IN BOTH COUNTRIES WERE ABLE TO CONTINUEMINISTRY AT AN EXPONENTIAL RATE TO REACH PEOPLE WITH THE LOVE OFCHRIST. THROUGH OUR MINISTRY WE WERE ABLE TO SERVE OVER 2 MILLIONPEOPLE.
  2. $2.4 million spent. EDUCATION - BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT EDUCATION IS VITAL TO LONG-TERMSTABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT, MISSION OF HOPE PROVIDES SEVERAL TOP-QUALITYPROGRAMS TO EDUCATE STUDENTS AT ALL LEVELS. THE SCHOOLS OF HOPE INHAITI CONSISTS OF 4 CAMPUSES AND 34 PARTNER SCHOOLS, WITH APPROXIMATELY12,794 KINDER-HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED. STUDENTS RECEIVE ANUTRITIOUS MEAL EACH DAY AND ARE TAUGHT THROUGH THE MWEN KAPAB (MEANING""I CAN"") CURRICULUM, WHICH PROVIDES A CULTURALLY RELEVANT EDUCATION,GROUNDED IN BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES. APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THESE STUDENTSARE INDIVIDUALLY SPONSORED BY DONORS IN OUR CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMAND MAINTAIN AN ONGOING PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STUDENTS.
  3. $14.9 million spent. NUTRITION PROGRAM - WITH OVER 650 NUTRITION PROGRAM PARTNERS, WE WERE ABLE TO FEED OVER 125,000 MEALS EACH DAY TO CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS AND ORPHANAGES THROUGHOUT HAITI. FOR MANY CHILDREN, A SCHOOL TIME MEAL PROVIDED BY MISSION OF HOPE WITH OUR PARTNER CONVOY OF HOPE, MAY BE THE ONLY FOOD THEY RECEIVE DURING THE DAY. THE PROGRAM ALLOWS US TO PROVIDEMEALS, VITAMINS, HEALTH EDUCATION, AND HOPE IN JESUS TO A GENERATION IN NEED IN A WAY THAT IS BOTH ECONOMICALLY RESPONSIBLE AND BENEFICIAL TO OUR COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH OUR HAITIONE NETWORK WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO PROVIDE FOOD AND RELIEF AID TO THE MOST AFFECTED AREAS DURING ONGOING CRISIS IN HAITI.
  4. $133,733 spent. CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS - AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE HOME BUILDING PROJECT IN THE LEVEQUE AND MINOTERIE COMMUNITIES, MISSION OF HOPE IS NOW FOCUSING ON REPLICATING THAT SAME MODEL OF HOME CONSTRUCTION IN THE VILLAGES OF LABODRIE AND TITANYEN. WE BELIEVE THAT WITH LARGER LOTS AND PROPER UTILIZATION OF GARDEN AREAS, MANY OF THE FAMILIES CAN GROW ENOUGH FOOD NOT ONLY FOR THEMSELVES, BUT ALSO TO SELL IN LOCAL MARKETS OR BACK TO MISSION OF HOPE. ADDITIONALLY, MISSION OF HOPE PARTNERS WITH THE LOCAL VILLAGES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO CONSTRUCT HOMES, CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, ORPHANAGES, AND LATRINES AS NEEDS ARISE IN THOSE VILLAGES. MEDICAL CARE - BASIC MEDICAL CARE IS HARD TO COME BY IN HAITI AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. MISSION OF HOPE OFFERS SEVERAL PROGRAMS TO MEET THIS CRITICAL NEED, THOUGH MOST IN HAITI SUCH AS PROSTHETICS LAB AND VISION CLINIC ARE CURRENTLY ON HIATUS DUE TO ONGOING CRISIS. MOBILE CLINICS WHERE WE SERVE TAKE HEALTHCARE INTO VILLAGES AND COMMUNITITES. ORPHAN CARE - VILLAGE OF HOPE PROVIDES A QUALITY HOME, A CHRIST-CENTERED EDUCATION, AND A LOVING CHURCH COMMUNITY TO 11 ORPHANS AND 16 TRANSITION HOME STUDENTS. CHILDREN IN THE ORPHANAGE ARE CARED FOR BY "MOMMIES" WHO LIVE ON CAMPUS WITH THEM. EACH MOMMY TAKES CARE OF ABOUT 6 CHILDREN, WHICH PROVIDES THE FEELING OF FAMILY AND ENSURES EACH CHILD IS GIVEN PERSONAL ATTENTION. PASTORS ACT AS THE SPIRITUAL FATHERS TO THESE CHILDREN, MENTORING AND DISCIPLING THEM ALONGSIDE THE MOTHERS, TO PROVIDE A GODLY EXAMPLE OF MANHOOD. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO RESOURCE LOCAL FAMILIES AND THE CHURCH TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ORPHANS. IN DOING SO, WE WILL CONTINUE TO CARE FOR OUR ORPHANS AND SERVE AS A LAST-RESORT SOLUTION FOR ORPHANS WITH NO ALTERNATIVES. IN ADDITION TO THE ORPHANS STILL BEING CARED FOR IN THE VILLAGE OF HOPE, 16 OF OUR YOUNG ADULTS, OVER THE AGE OF 18, LIVE IN THE TRANSITION HOME. THE TRANSITION HOME ALLOWS THEM TO LIVE ON THEIR OWN AND GET PART-TIME JOBS, WHILE CONTINUING TO FINISH SCHOOL AND BE MENTORED AND PARTIALLY SUPPORTED BY SPONSORS.
