Savings Groups in Haiti

At Lasting Change Haiti (LCH), we are dedicated to sharing the gospel of Jesus and transforming lives, one person at a time. One of our most impactful initiatives is the RESTORE: Savings Groups program, which works within local churches and communities across Haiti.

The RESTORE: Savings program helps establish Savings Groups as a ministry within churches. These groups are small, community-based collectives where members come together regularly to save money, access small loans, and provide mutual support. The goal is not only to improve financial health but also to experience the reconciling power of Jesus in every aspect of life.

Woven in and through the curriculum of the Savings Groups is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each week, group participants engage with a biblical lesson, deepening their understanding of God’s love and His gift of salvation. As they journey through the curriculum, members not only learn to manage their resources wisely but also grow in their faith, discovering more about the love of God and how it transforms their lives.

One of the most remarkable aspects of these Savings Groups is how they bring people together, breaking down barriers of secrecy and jealousy. By creating a safe and supportive environment, group members build trust and openness, which fosters a sense of community and belonging. This not only improves financial stability but also draws people closer together, strengthening bonds within the community and enhancing their spiritual lives.

In Haiti, where financial resources can be scarce, these Savings Groups offer a beacon of hope. They provide a safe place to save money, offer small loans, and build a supportive community. This not only improves financial stability but also fosters spiritual growth and strengthens bonds within the community.

Thanks to the support of our donors and partners, LCH is able to continue this vital work. we have been able to start two groups, with another starting soon. The RESTORE: Savings program is more than just a financial initiative; it’s a journey of spiritual and communal transformation.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Together, we are making a profound difference in the lives of many in Haiti. 🌟
