Project Report | Aug 29, 2016
Keep on Planting

By Marie Marthe Saint Cyr | Executive Director

Planting trees, the greening of Haiti is not a time limited activity.  From 2006 sinceThe Lambi Fund of Haiti decided to address the issue of deforestation in Haiti, we embrace the process knowing it is going to be for decades. We believe the environment in Haiti can be remedied but it will take a responsible government, increased awareness of the importance of the environment and climate changes; and committment from everyone including our global partners.

It is not only an instance for each one to do its share, it is more proof that we are in one world no matter where we are located.  For that reason alone, each one of our donor is an active participant in the creation of that change.  This is a year when the people of Haiti who are participants in our funded projected successfully planted  461,104 trees reaching 88.73% of the goal of 520,00 inspite of the worst drought Haiti has seen in 35 years.

We believe that Haiti can make this change effectively, we also know it will take collaboration, investment in humanity and reforrestation.

The amazing component is the increase awareness that makes a young one craddle a little plant found growing on the edge of a ditch , the coalition building and collaboration to keep plants alive during the drought was the work of hundreds of volunteer in the respective neighborhoods.  As we thank you ,we thank them for assuming their responsible citizenship. 

As we reforrest using a method of agro-forestry, we plant species that are familiar to the area and species at risk.  We also plant many fruits trees that will bring nutrition to the areas where planted and produce some revenue.  Such projects like the replacement of colonial coffee plants, not only regenerate the plants but also increase the volume produced, thus the revenue of the farmers.  We train an average of 30 individuals per project who work in the nursery preparation, maintenance and the debt. 

You have helped us reach the dream of a lifetime. We thank you for your help!  Join us to make planting  trees in 2016 a reality!
