Second chance global, inc. Serves communities in haiti through programs that restore dignity, build resilience, and foster sustainable growth in cap-haitian, pierre payen, and croix-des-bouquets. In fy 2025, we maintained our leased children's home in cap-haitien, providing safe housing, education, and medical care. The local savings program empowered families to set goals, manage finances, and expand small businesses, promoting long-term self-sufficiency. The community youth leadership initiative created safe spaces for 17 teens to grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially through mentorship and music. Our clean water team also distributed 50 water filters while sharing the gospel with new communities. Despite instability and hardship, we continue advancing sustainable, faith-driven transformation across haiti.
In fy 2025, second chance global initiated exploratory work in belize city, belize to assess opportunities for expanding our mission and replicating proven community development models in a third country. Efforts during this period focused on research, vision alignment, and relationship-building with a high-capacity local leader to evaluate long-term partnership potential. While expenses in fy 2025 were minimal, they supported travel, communication, and foundational planning activities. Looking ahead to fy 2026, plans include formalizing the partnership, developing pilot programs in education and community outreach, and establishing the infrastructure needed for sustained impact aligned with second chance global's mission.
Second chance global invests in core administrative, educational, and program-support functions that strengthen impact across haiti, the dominican republic, and belize. These activities include staff training, curriculum design, leadership development for in-country partners, translation, monitoring and evaluation, and communication of program outcomes. Resources in this category also fund strategic partnerships and new program development that expand the reach and sustainability of our mission. Collectively, these services ensure consistent implementation, accountability, and innovation in delivering education, community development, and faith-driven initiatives that help break cycles of poverty.
