"Handing Up" through Microlending

Moreau Bernado is a student in Life’s Path school who is fortunate to have a generous sponsor to help him and his mother. Without help from his sponsor, Moreau, 3 years old, would be unable to attend school.
In our efforts to alleviate poverty and help create a self-sufficient community, Life’s Path is beginning a micro lending program. Moreau’s mother, Ena, will be one of the first recipients to receive a micro loan.
Due to a medical condition, Ena moved from far up in the mountains down to Cyvadier. Ena lives alone with one of her sons, Moreau, while her oldest son, Ronalson, 8 years old, lives with family in Cap Rouge. Living on limited resources, Ena could not afford to bring both children with her. From Cyvadier, Cap Rouge is an 8 hour walk on rocky, muddy terrain up the mountainside.
Ena rents a small, dilapidated home that looks as though one strong gust of wind could blow it down. She receives help to pay the rent from what little her family can give. As a child, she attended school for a short time until her declining eyesight would not allow her to continue her education.
When I asked what she looks forward to each day, she replied, “God has blessed me with two boys who rely on me for strength and hope.”

When the idea of a micro loan was introduced to Ena, she said that she is grateful to God that Life’s Path is able to help her so that she can someday bring Ronalson home with her and Moreau.
She hopes to starts a business selling staple items such as rice, spaghetti, sugar, and oil. Her future dream is to have a safer home for her children. She would love to own a tent that may be possible to place on families land in a nearby town.
Boiled breadfruit is the family’s dinner for this evening. Moreau and Ena eat once a day, sometimes every other day, depending on what they can find. Most of their food source comes from nearby trees of breadfruit, mangos, or coconuts, depending upon what are in season. See video of Moreau at www.youtube.com “lifes path cyvadier”
With your generous help, support, and great blessings Life’s Path is able to help teach and provide families such as Ena and Moreau with opportunities they may never have otherwise.
Please help us make a difference by sponsoring a child or donating to our micro lending program so that we can continue to help families become self sufficient.
If you already sponsor a family and would like to offer a micro loan to them, please email us for more information at
