Hope International has partnered with School of Communications to create Lyceum Challenge. We will be forever grateful for the support that Peter Greet and Hope International have given to launch our first Lyceum Challenge: Poverty and the Christian Response.
Please check out the link below and see how your students can make a difference in the life of someone trying to become self-sufficient.
Examples:
$50 Woodworking Tools
While carpentry can be a profitable business in the Dominican Republic, many entrepreneurs cannot afford the tools necessary to keep up with the demand. A loan to buy power tools can exponentially increase a carpenter’s efficiency.
$25 Hair Dryer
It starts with a simple hair dryer. Beauty salon owners in the Dominican Republic begin by styling hair but often use their profits to expand their business and offer a variety of services to the women of their community, from manicures to clothing sales.
$50 Ice Chest
Nothing feels better on a hot day than a refreshing, ice-cold beverage, but in many Haitian communities, electricity is nonexistent and refrigerators are too expensive. An ice chest can help a vendor expand her selection and improve her business by keeping drinks cold in Haiti’s hot climate.
