Moto-Taxi Fund

There are many hardworking people living in Haiti who love their families and want to build purposeful lives, but all too often they lack the opportunity to find meaningful work with adequate income. The problem is simple. People need a source of income because they lack money, but it takes money to find a job, start a business, or gain an asset that can turn into a source of income. This cycle of poverty entraps numerous Haitians. People will spend years in this cycle where they struggle every day just to get food to eat. When people are struggling just to survive, they become discouraged and eventually lose all hope of ever climbing out of poverty. For most, it is not because of a lack of desire to work but because of circumstances beyond their control. Sometimes one break is all a person needs to start down a path that will ultimately enable them to climb out of poverty once and for all, but they may spend their entire lives waiting for that break that never comes.

This is why we are raising money through our Microloan program to purchase motorcycles for qualified applicants. With a loan of $1000, we will purchase a motorcycle and setup a contract with the applicant after which they will be able to use this motorcycle as a moto-taxi. With a portion of their weekly income they will pay back the loan so that they can become the sole owner of the moto-taxi. Once the loan is repaid money will go back into the Microloan fund to help others. This is about sustainable giving that truly empowers people rather than just giving a one-time handout.

Please consider making a donation today. Your donation can literally be the break that changes a person's life.
