Report of Activities for 2008

Agricultural Project
Animals and gardens are a very important part of the lives of rural Haitians. Since 1997 Living Hope Mission has developed many different projects to help minimize malnutrition in Northern Haiti. Met Jacques Saintelus joined the LHM team to co-direct these efforts. Met Jacques is a trained veterinarian and agronomist. He has a weekly agricultural program on 4VEH, a local Christian Radio Station.
Animals and Vet Agent Training
A program to train local vet agents continues to provide animal care to many villages. The LHM pharmacy and seed supply center is stocked with a good supply of good quality seeds and animal health products. A program with Heifer International helps supply good quality cattle and goats to the communities.
Since 1998 the addition of fish ponds has produced good quality protein for the diets of many familes. An association of fish farmers has been organized.

Fosse Capois Farm
A former resident of the village of Fosse Capois has donated a large acreage of good land to LHM to produce food for the local community. A fish pond has been established to provide fish for the school lunch program. Part of the land is used to grow cattle for meat and milk. Peanuts are produced to supply fortified peanut butter. This is used in a program for mal-nourished children.
Large scale vegetable production is underway to supplement the lunch programs in the schools that Living Hope Mission supports. Variety trials are being conducted in cooperation with ECHO.

Bananas, Peanuts, Wells, and Future Projects
We invite you to join our efforts to work with the churches and schools of Northern Haiti to bring the love of Jesus by helping them have better nutrition. By providing better varieties of peanuts, bananas, and irrigation we hope to help minimize hunger.
We provide many opportunities for North American Christians to travel to Living Hope Mission and observe our work. Please contact us for more information.
