Providing care for working animals in Haiti and improving nutrition in their community
Welcome to our Initiative!
We are dedicated to partnering with the Haitian community in Mombin Crochu to foster self-directed development. Through our efforts in livestock healthcare, improved access to nutritious and cash crops, and education focused on animal husbandry and crop production, we aim to empower the local community to achieve better living conditions for everyone. Join us in making a positive impact together!
What we do
Care of Working Animals
Education
Veterinary agents play a crucial role in supporting the health of working farm animals within the community. With their specialized knowledge and dedication, they ensure the well-being of livestock, which in turn helps farmers sustain productivity and maintain high animal welfare standards. To reach those in remote areas, they travel twice a month, providing essential care for animals that cannot be easily transported. Their commitment to animal health makes a significant difference in the agricultural landscape.
Gardens and Crop Improvement
Our nursery specializes in starting cuttings and seedlings of nutritional plants that are shared with our community. We also maintain a seed bank, ensuring that local farmers have seeds without the need to purchase them. Our mission is to support sustainable agriculture and promote food security for everyone.
We are dedicated to empowering local Haitian veterinary agents through training programs. Additionally, we provide farmers with valuable education in animal husbandry and crop management, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in their communities. Together, we can build a sustainable future for agriculture and livestock in Haiti.
