Growing nurseries

Recent reports on climate change and observations in Haiti continue to support our concerns for the environment. Since 2016 the position of the Lambi Fund of Haiti has been three prong. Even with our limited resources, we have maintained the environment as an essential priority, requiring:

1. Increased awareness of the role of the environment in our lives and our reponsibility to maintain the essential life resource for future generations

2. Local contribution to add 20,000 trees for each project supported

3. Developing nursery building skills in the respective communities served

The goal for 2018 was to plant 320,000 trees in the communities where projects are implemented. As of this month of November, the profile of our reforrestation efforts is as follows:

Our partners in the south and the latibonit region are at 83% of their production goal. Copadet is the only organization that faced months without rain. They continue with their planting of trees in critical areas.

Thank you so much for joining us to plant trees in Haiti, bringing greater awareness and with great hopes to change the course of reforestation in Haiti.
