We envision a thriving ecosystem throughout Haiti, where natural springs flow abundantly, clean water sources are plentiful, crop yields flourish, and soils are fertile, thus restoring prosperity and peace to the people of Haiti.
Our vision includes the establishment of food forests, water forests, legacy forests, community forests, and gathering centers, fostering the reconnection, revitalization, and self-sustainability of rural communities.
To realize this vision, our organization is dedicated to supporting Haitian farmers and rural communities in transitioning to regenerative food, farming, and land management practices. These efforts are essential for replenishing Haiti’s diminishing underground water table.
Here's how a healthy water table is restored:
--------------------------------------------------------
Nou anvizaje yon ekosistèm pwospere nan tout Ayiti, kote sous dlo natirèl koule abondan, sous dlo pwòp yo abondan, rekòt pwospere, ak tè yo fètil, konsa retabli pwosperite ak lapè pou pèp Ayisyen an.
Vizyon nou an gen ladan etablisman forè manje, forè dlo, forè eritaj, forè kominotè, ak sant rasanbleman, ankouraje rekoneksyon an, revitalizasyon, ak dirab nan kominote riral yo.
Pou reyalize vizyon sa a, òganizasyon nou an dedye a sipòte kiltivatè ayisyen yo ak kominote riral yo nan tranzisyon nan manje rejenerasyon, agrikilti, ak pratik jesyon tè. Efò sa yo esansyèl pou ranplase diminye tab dlo Ayiti a.
Men ki jan yon tab dlo ki an sante retabli:
Why This Matters
Poukisa Zafè Sa Yo
Global warming will continue to bring droughts, hurricanes and other extreme weather events to Haiti. It will create more food insecurity and force greater numbers of people to abandon land and homes. It will continue to lead to dwindling natural, human, and financial resources, which in turn will lead to more poverty.
We believe that by empowering Haiti to transition to a regenerative food and agriculture system, Haiti will have power to:
- End hunger
- Restore health and well-being
- Increase the water-holding capacities of soils
- Increase crop yields and diversity of crops
- Restore access to abundant fresh, clean water sources
- Revitalize local economies
- Restore rural livelihoods and independence
- Regenerate ecological health, including soil fertility and biodiversity
- Promote social justice and fair trade
- Reverse global warming

Chofaj mondyal la pwal kontinye pote sechrès, siklòn ak lòt evènman metewolojik ekstrèm an Ayiti. Li pral kreye plis ensekirite manje ak fòse pi gwo kantite moun abandone tè ak kay. Li pral kontinye mennen nan abandone resous natirèl, imen, ak resous finansye, ki nan vire pral mennen nan plis povrete.
Nou kwè ke lè yap pèmèt Ayiti tranzisyon nan yon sistèm manje rejenerasyon ak agrikilti, Ayiti ap gen pouvwa pou:
- Fin grangou
- Retabli sante ak byennèt
- Ogmante kapasite dlo ki kenbe tè yo
- Ogmante sede rekòt ak divèsite nan rekòt
- Retabli aksè a abondan fre, sous dlo pwòp
- Revitalize ekonomi lokal yo
- Retabli lavi riral yo ak endepandans yo
- Rejenerasyon sante ekolojik, ki gen ladan fètilite tè ak biyodivèsite
- Ankouraje jistis sosyal ak komès jis
- Ranvèse rechofman mondyal la
Why Build Sustainable Communities
Poukisa Bati Kominote Dirab Yo
Supporting the development of sustainable communities ensures that money circulates within local areas, leading to resilient communities, robust regions, and a more independent nation. This approach will help Haiti restore her sovereignty. Self-sustaining communities are able to:
- Enable local markets to meet local needs
- Build and support the region
- Promote innovation
- Increase economic opportunities
- Build political stability
- Circulate money within the community
- Generate other forms of resiliency
- Become a teacher and example to the world
- Find their voice in important decision-making processes
- Strengthen social relationships
- Create numerous family-owned industries
- Promote dignity and self-esteem
- Restore sovereignty and independence
--------------------------------------------------------
Sipòte devlopman kominote dirab asire ke lajan sikile nan zòn lokal yo, ki mennen nan kominote fleksib, rejyon gaya, ak yon nasyon ki pi endepandan. Apwòch sa a pral ede Ayiti retabli souverènte li. Kominote pwòp tèt ou-soutni yo kapab:
- Pèmèt mache lokal yo satisfè bezwen lokal yo
- Bati ak sipòte rejyon an
- Ankouraje inovasyon
- Ogmante opòtinite ekonomik yo
- Bati estabilite politik
- Sikile lajan nan kominote a
- Jenere lòt fòm detèminasyon
- Vin yon pwofesè ak egzanp nan mond lan
- Jwenn vwa yo nan pwosesis pran desizyon enpòtan
- Ranfòse relasyon sosyal
- Kreye anpil endistri fanmi ki posede
- Ankouraje diyite ak estim pwòp tèt ou
- Retabli souverènte ak endepandans
