We support families with seed distribution, supplies, agricultural training, goats or sheep for reproduction, and trees. We are currently working in the villages of Caporal, Derriere Puit, Belle Anse which are in the southeast region of Haiti, as well as Massikot, which is in the central region. We have approximately 150 families who have gone through our agricultural program in Massikot and moved toward sustainability. In 2024, we expanded from 135 to 250 families in our agricultural cohorts in Caporal, Derriere Puit, and Belle Anse!
We start our families out with a female goat or sheep. They have the ability to procreate their animals with the C4C male goats/sheep. They will return their firstborn goat/sheep to C4C and will keep all remaining offspring. Once families produce new goats or sheep, they are often sold by a family to pay for a child’s yearly school tuition or for living expenses. At the beginning of new crop cycles, we distribute seed and fertilizer to families, along with agricultural guidance on improved techniques and seed saving. Many of our farmers have access to land, but have no means to purchase seed to grow food for their family or sell at the market. Our farmers are now yielding harvests that can be used to feed their families and be sold at the market to cover basic living expenses. We have also begun distributing fruit bearing trees to families, to be planted on their property.
In January of 2024, began our tree propagation project, and our greenhouse and tree propagation project is now in full swing, resulting in the growth and distribution of over a thousand mango and avocado trees. In January 2025, we began our 2nd greenhouse project in the village of Mabriole, where we have been growing moringa, coffee, and breadfruit trees.
