Sustainable Projects
AGRICULTURE
HHH expanded its sustainable agriculture projects in the region of Poteau through a partnership with Rise Against Hunger.
Completed projects:
- Purchased land (5 acres), planted gardens and built a 6,000-gallon reservoir
- Employed a full-time Agronomist to teach youth and neighbors efficient gardening techniques
- Drilled two deepwater wells powered by solar pumps
- Constructed tilapia fish tanks to support a hydroponic garden
BON BEADS
Young Haitian artisans living in the children's home in Poteau use recycled cereal boxes to make Bon Beads. Each artist has a business plan providing for supplies, necessities, and savings. Income provides a nest egg for youth to begin life outside of the home once they are of age.
Jewelry may be purchased at HHH events - OR - Consider hosting a Bon Bead Party at your home or office to promote our ministry and the work of our youth.
