Environmental Purpose and Activities
Grown in Haiti (GiH) champions a future where communities and nature thrive in harmony. Since their inception in 2014, they have been dedicated to empowering Haitian communities through sustainable and regenerative agroforestry practices. GiH has transformed landscapes by growing and distributing over 12,000 fruit-bearing trees, restoring soil health, and enhancing biodiversity.
The GiH initiative extends beyond agroforestry to education and community resilience. They aim to continue expanding our reach, nurture self-sufficiency, and foster ecological stewardship in Haiti.
GiH's efforts range from establishing nurseries and water systems to providing emergency aid and educational scholarships. They are committed to equipping future generations with knowledge and resources, ensuring they cultivate a prosperous, self-reliant community. Their journey is marked by a deep connection with the land and a relentless pursuit of growth and resilience.
