New Roots Haiti
Donations:
Raised
Goal
New Roots Haiti is dedicated to empowering parents to care for their families through education, employment, and nutrition assistance - using the farm as a tool to be able to create local sustainable jobs. The goal is to develop a plan to sustainably better utilize crop land, increasing farmers financial yields as well as creating a product that was not previously produced locally. Thus producing a locally grown protein source to be used in local feed rations for chickens and livestock.

The project's primary function is to support 30 local widows and 50 orphans incorporating an agriculture based approach. Produce is grown locally within the village of Masii but is dispersed over a wide geographical area.

Plant Trees

Partner with Kijani Forestry to combat deforestation and create safe jobs by planting trees in Uganda. By using sustainable permaculture practices and more efficient kilns for charcoal production, Kijani aims to reduce the number of trees being illegally harvested while creating over 200 jobs in the first year alone. So far, Kijani provides employment to over 40 women, many of whom have been rescued from the sex trade. By supporting this project, you can help Kijani plant more trees and provide a sustainable cooking fuel source and healthy forests in East Africa.

Honey Bee Project

This project is to raise funds for partnering with Meshach and his family who are small-scale farmer’s in Kenya. He currently has a honey bee project which he uses the income to support his family and their work in the local community. Meshach works with widows and the caregivers of orphans in his local community. The goal of this project is to help Meshach purchase the equipment needed to efficiently and safely care for and expand his honey bee business. We plan for this project to produce a sustainable income of $700 per year for Meshach and his family. We will close fundraising for this project on January 1, 2019.
