Get Fit & Give Back

Race For The Light was launched as an initiative to help 500 families be able to have access to basic food during Haiti’s current socio-political and economic crisis. The situation in Haiti is critical, especially being at its peak since the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 2,500 people across the country took part in Race For The Light through fundraising and keeping track of their steps while working out. Through everyone’s efforts, we raised $260k to feed 500 families for one year!

5,000 Bags of Rice Distributed So Far!

Since August, 165k out of the 260k raised have been used towards supplies. Over the past 6 months, 4,856 of 5,000 bags of rice and beans have been claimed. The rest of the money raised went towards creating formative service programs for the Haitian residents as a beacon of light during these troubled times in Haiti. 500 families in 4 different locations in Haiti have been receiving the support and have been extremely grateful that Lumen Vitae puts their all for what we stand for.

Moving from Dependency to Sustainability

To help families move toward self-sustainability after a year of supplementing their food supply, we will reduce the quantity of rice provided by half in the final 3 months of the project. With the funds saved, we will purchase a female goat for each family and provide formation for its care. By positioning a male goat with our local LV mentors, families will have the chance to breed their female goat with our male goat to create a kid (a baby goat), which could great a lasting source for Meat, Milk, Money & Manure.
