Love A Child is committed to helping Haitians learn more ways to help themselves through our Sustainability Training classes. We offer courses in Sustainable Agriculture at the Agricultural Training Center and raising chickens as part of the Miracle Chicken Co-op. The response to these two life-changing training programs has been enormous, from both the students and their families, and also from the sponsoring organizations who send their students for the training. We conduct these training sessions multiple times throughout the year. Last Saturday we completed our latest “Poul Mirak Chicken School” with eight new students heading back home after intensive six-day training on raising chickens in Haiti. Our next Sustainability Training class will be for Sustainable Agriculture in Haiti, running for three weeks, starting June 16, 2019, and completing July 6, 2019. The Sustainable Agriculture training really equips the students to return to their home village and set up reliable year-round gardens for growing nutritious food for families and for even having extra to sell at local markets. In most cases, the returning students end up being the new trainers for their area in the sustainable gardening methods they learned while at Love A Child’s program.

These Sustainability Training programs are really valuable and are making a big difference for many hungry Haitian children and their families. Please consider helping sponsor students to attend these training sessions by donating to “ATC Scholarships.” Your important gift could change lives for generations to come.
