Special Projects

One of the greatest joys at Disciples’ Village is watching our young people grow into young adults who are ready to build lives of their own. We want each of them to leave our care with an education, practical skills, and the tools they need to support themselves.

Recently, four of the young men from Alex’s House, Wilkens, Renel, Louis Pierre, and Mickey, completed their schooling and moved out to begin living independently. We are proud of them as they take this important next step.

In 2027, four young women, Lourde Djennie, Daïcasseline, Nadege and Carline, are expected to follow after completing their trade school training. They, too, are preparing to move into independent living and begin the next chapter of their lives.

But completing school is only part of the journey. Starting an independent life also requires practical resources and a little help getting established. Through our transition program, we want to provide each of these eight young adults with a one-time investment of $1,000 and $200 per month in ongoing support.

These one-time investments, which we call “toolboxes,” can include a sewing machine, a motorbike, or other equipment that helps a young person start a small business, earn an income, and become financially independent. The monthly support helps them meet basic needs as they establish themselves.

Our goal is to raise $27,200 to help eight young adults take this important step toward independence.

We have walked alongside them through many years of growing up, learning, and preparing for adulthood. Now we have the privilege of helping them spread their wings.

Will you help us give these young adults the tools and support they need to build a future of their own?
