SUSTAINABILITY
PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT
Our goal for Lydia House Liberia is to help it reach full sustainability. This will require at least 2 phases of giving.
1
PHASE ONe
Young Women's Home and Vocational Program
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the construction of our home for at-risk young women (ages 18-24) is complete! To give them a good start, we are also raising funding for the first few years of staffing for the home. The administration and residents of the home are currently working to develop sustainable enterprises that bring income to Lydia House and also enhance their vocational training; for example, goat and chicken farming (for milk and eggs), tailoring and cosmetology.
​
Partnering with us through annual, quarterly, or monthly giving will help us reach sustainability more efficiently.
2
PHASE two
Community School and Minor Residential Program
In this phase, we hope to construct a secondary school (grades 7-12) and another residential facility for at-risk younger girls (ages 12-17). The school will be on the adjacent property to Lydia House, and the new residence and will serve a great many younger girls rescued out of human trafficking or denied opportunities for schooling. The presence of the secondary school will generate a major source of income for Lydia House through local paying students, whom we expect to comprise over 50% of the attendees.
