Vocational Training
Maison de Lumiere is in the process of developing a dynamic vocational training program that will allow children to start learning practical job skills that will significantly improve their chances for survival once they leave Maison de Lumiere.
Programs in farming, welding, auto mechanics, sewing, fish farming, and cell phone repair are just a few of the areas being taught to the children to supplement their formal education.
In addition, micro-businesses are being established to help the children to understand the basics of business management skills and to help provide additional employment options upon graduating out of the home. The microbusinesses will also help finance the operation of the home. Currently, a used cell phone business we launched has helped fund education of all our children. A chicken egg business is also underway.
With 80% unemployment in Haiti, it is our belief that the more skills the children can learn the better.
