Program accomplishments

  • Pathway to a Better Life: In areas like Phaeton and Paulette, which lack employment opportunities, self-employment is the only option for most households. The CLM 18 month graduation approach offers a unique chance to families that lack the means and the know-how to start activities especially if they are too poor to benefit from the credit. After only 18 months they develop dependable lives. The participants learn to manage income generating activities and then receive the assets they need to jump start their activities. They receive close accompaniment through weekly home visits throughout the program.
    Expenses $331,844
  • Education program: The Cima School of Hope consisting of 27 employees including admins, teachers, cooks and janitors and 300 students was originally housed in UNICEF tent with a tarp dividing Kindergarten (ages 3-5) and 1st grade (ages 7-12) classes. The school now houses students from Pre-K thru grade 13. The school provides each student a uniform -sewn by a group of parents at the beginning of the year and books. There is now a school building in place for all of the students and an administrative building and we have begun construction of an open air cafeteria/community center.
    Expenses $207,787
  • CEIFAH: The Entreprenurship Center for Innovation and Applied training is a new trade school that has opened as an extension of the Cima School of Hope. It is available to young people from ages 18-35 years old to develop technical and entreprenuerial skills including cooking, sewing, cosmetology, food production, etc. See Schedule O
