While it's not too difficult to find a factory, restaurant help or construction job for Haitian refugee in Tijuana, the weekly salary is mere between $ 70 to $ 90 USD which is hardly enough to raise themselves from the poverty line let alone send money to their family or relatives back in Haiti. We believe going into small business of their own is the potential solution.
We are planning to apply BAWM ministries concept and raise fund necessary to enable them to start a small business of their own and minister them. Example of small business they can go in are hair-braiding shop for women, vending fruit from the street kiosk.
We have identified Artisanla Market in downtown Tijuana where you can find vacant space to take advantage of its location to consumers and very affortable rents to quick-start retail and wholesale business as well as Haitian artesanal products.
One pastor Haitian, another Mexican and a Korean missionary are having monthly meetings in order to promote this ministries and hope we get to the action stage soon.
