Operating from our operational center in Gonavis, Haiti, which is Haiti's 2nd largest city based on its population, our mission's focus is fighting poverty through fostering social enterprise. http://www.muchministries.org/ Our current programs/projects include a >$1.5M commercial real estate project aimed at bringing Gonaives, a city of more than 350K people, its first grocery store and community center that will create more than 40 full-time jobs for local residents . http://www.muchministries.org/marketplace-gonaives2nd Story Goods program initiative focuses on providing employment opportunities for some of Haiti's poorest residents. Generating sales of nearly $325K in 2021 alone, 2nd Story's global reach provides a critical distribution channel for artisan goods from >100 Haitian entrepreneurs. https://www.2ndstorygoods.com/ Finally, Prolead is our most ambitious program to date as we have learned that the mentality of poverty is far more dangerous than physical poverty. Our years here on the ground have taught us, the need is culture transformation. The barriers to success that poverty mentality presented could not be overcome with skills training. Our training focuses on dismantling the traditional attitudes rooted in hundreds of years of injustice. Cultural legacies towards employment and service have crippled business in Haiti. ProLead addresses these issues and we have seen the program produce more than 700 graduates since its inception in 2016. Further, our efforts to measure the programs impact on improving the quality of life of our students has been tracked since 2019. Our impact measurement studies has shown us our graduates have 30% lower rates of unemployment, earn higher household incomes on average relative to peers, and also have more than 2x the retention rate on employment opportunities. We believe these speaks for itself. http://www.muchministries.org/prolead
