Vocational Ranch

The LSM Vocational Ranch is an important part of our long-term presence in Haiti. Consisting of a beautiful 35-acre tract of land, our Vocational Ranch is an innovative way to build sustainability into our Homes of Hope program.

The LSM Vocational Ranch serves several purposes:

• Children will leave their Home of Hope around the age of 18. They will live in the dorms at the Ranch until age 20, though they are still a part of their Home of Hope family.

• During their 2 years at the Ranch, they will work part-time on the Ranch while attending our LSM vocational school.

• LSM’s vocational school (located at the Ranch) will teach masonry, computer, agronomy, animal husbandry and domestic skills.

• The Ranch and vocational schools will be heavily devoted to furthering the Biblical training our children received in their Home of Hopes.

• At age 20, the students will leave the Ranch and be set up with a job or a small business.

• The Ranch will provide income to LSM Homes of Hope by selling grain, vegetables, fruit and meat to area markets.

As you can see, the Ranch is a significant investment in the children of Haiti. It’s a long-term project that will have an eternal impact on future generations!. Although we are still in its early phases, the vision for the project is generating lots of excitement!
