Projects for 2025 and 5-Year Plan
Home > Projects > Projects for 2025 and 5-Year PlanThe following are projects defined by Mission Hope that are active and also additional projects that are planned over the 5-year partnership.
1. VBS & Youth Engagement – In Las Malvinas, our partner El Renacer Church will help provide part of the VBS curriculum. In Batey Prudencio, we will need to bring our own materials, games, and resources to share with the kids. Our local staff will lead the activities in both locations, and the team will have a hands-on role in teaching, crafts, and games.
2. Sanitation Project (Latrines) – A master mason will lead the construction effort, ensuring quality and guiding the process. Team participants will rotate through different tasks such as:
This structure allows every participant, regardless of skill level, to contribute meaningfully to the build process.

• Mixing cement and mortar
• Transporting blocks, sand, and gravel
• Assisting with block laying under mason supervision
• Setting up and carrying water for mixing and cleaning
• Helping with painting/finishing work once structures are complete
• Assisting community members as “work partners” to build ownership of the project
• Community Engagement – We will prioritize time for home visits, interaction with families, and a meeting with community leadership.
This relational element is essential to our long-term development work.
Additional Projects being planned:
3. Business and Entrepreneurship Training: Our initial activities are focused on VBS, youth engagement, and sanitation projects. We plan to integrate business and entrepreneurship sessions in future visits, particularly for youth and adult participants in Las Malvinas and Batey Prudencio. These sessions will focus on practical skills for small business management, income generation, and agricultural initiatives. For this first trip, the emphasis is on relationship-building and community engagement.
4. Child Sponsorship: We will include opportunities for team members to engage in child sponsorship programs, allowing participants to build ongoing relationships with children and support their education and well-being. All of their sponsored children are part of the school program in Las Malvinas, and some of them are Haitians. The team will have the opportunity to visit this program and spend meaningful time with the children during their stay.
5. Sports activities: We already have volleyballs available and plan to set up a net at the school so the team can spend time playing games and building relationships with the kids. Please also feel free to bring soccer balls, there’s a green area where they can play and enjoy time together. Also, while with Mission Hope we will discuss the possibility for baseball activities/teams in the communities.
