HAITI UPDATE: We are launching Phase 2
A new partnership with two organizations -- the mission agency CrossWorld and the BAM organization IBEC -- is helping us move forward with Phase 2. David Befus will return to Haiti in early August to review business plans and approve engagement with five more Phase 1 businesses and a couple of Phase 2 businesses. David will be accompanied by two leaders from CrossWorld and IBEC and by a Transformational Ventures volunteer.
In Phase 2 we are dealing with higher amounts of re-start capital for larger pre-earthquake businesses. The result will be:
- more jobs created
- more people out of bread lines
- more revenue re-cycling into the local economy
- stronger local churches able to do what churches can do for their communities.
We have a proven local partner with the expertise and integrity to manage Phase 2 well, with David fulfilling TV's duty to provide overall accountability. The local entrepreneurs we are engaging have proven, pre-earthquake businesses with defined markets and some salvaged equipment. They are members of the network of churches we are cooperating with, which will create a ripple effect of spiritual benefit in their churches and communities.
Loans will be provided after a business plan proposal is approved, at 12% per year interest. Success of this program will be based on the following metrics: payback rate of the loans, businesses sales and profitability, and the demand for subsequent loans to expand business operations. Read More...
