Gifts that Provide Income

“Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men…”
Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

What better gift is there than giving a village the ability to sustain itself economically?

In poor coastal fishing communities in Jamaica and Haiti, fishermen lack the equipment needed to support their families. Food For The Poor provides seaworthy boats, reliable engines and other equipment for these fishermen to work in deeper, more bountiful waters and catch larger, more marketable fish.

Your gift for fruit-bearing trees will provide hungry Haitian families with a nutritious and sustainable source of food. Avocado, breadfruit and mango trees not only provide healthy food for hungry families; these trees will also offer welcome shade and help combat the massive deforestation problem in Haiti.

Food For The Poor sewing machines are equipped to operate by either electricity or foot pedals in homes without electricity. They are compact, easy to maintain and operate, and take up little space so a family can set up shop in their home.

The gift of a tilapia fish pond eliminates hunger and provides a village with a sustainable source of food and income. Tilapia are hearty fish that grow rapidly and can survive on diverse foods. In addition to sustenance, it offers employment opportunities and the economic benefits of selling surplus fish.
