the Leve Project
  lā ･ vā (v) creole word meaning to raise/to lift up/grow


Empowering Haitian families to break the cycle of poverty through opportunity and education. 

    The core of our project is a LifeCenter...

           ...it’s all about partnership and working together to improve Haitian lives. It 

                       starts with five families coming together and forming a Life Group.      

  In a Life Group, these families will provide each other with 

accountability, community, and support. We will share meals together,   

     provide educational classes, study the bible together, 

offer childcare,  healthcare, and grant micro-loans.  The heart of The Leve Project 

    is believers coming together as one,  serving and supporting one another as the church did in   Acts 2: 42-47.   In doing so, we believe we will be a part of   

               bringing about drastic change and improvement within that community. 

The idea of Leve Project developed after working in Haiti with different ministries for many years. The founding partners of Leve Project have both spent much time in Haiti, giving them not only a passion, but also the first-hand experience of how to do it efficiently. The need is great. But with what we have seen and what we have learned, we feel a mission like the Leve Project is the best and most productive way to break the cycle of poverty in Haiti. 

The founding partners are Eric Schweig and Megan Haug. Eric and his wife Michele serve on the Board of Directors. Eric has a background in business and experience with many other projects in Haiti. Megan has been involved with Haiti for several years and has been living there since September 2008. She served as the operating House Manager at an orphanage and also partnered in other ministry roles. Also, on the Board of Directors are Kevin and Amy Jones. Kevin has started and runs his own company. 

We have an EIN number and are in the process of completing our 501c3 status. We have a projected budget in place and are working employee contracts and a code of conduct.  We hope to have the web-site up soon!
