About Us
To Build A Village (in Haiti) is a collaboration of highly skilled team members, all pioneers in the green building industry and regenerative land development fields. We are a global 501(c)3 organization dedicated to supporting multiple Haitian-led initiatives and large-scale land restoration efforts with the purpose of enabling Haiti to rise as an ecologically connected nation, instead of a patchwork of disconnected pieces.
We design, implement, teach, and oversee sustainable developments in a variety of environments, including wet and dry tropical climates, from Indonesia and Africa to the Peruvian Amazon, Mexico, and the Middle East. Each member is a committed and skilled educator in his or her field.
Our Mission
To promote, facilitate and accelerate the efforts of Haitian-led initiatives toward regenerative food, farming and land management practices with the purpose of supporting Haiti as she rebuilds her deteriorated social, ecological and economic systems.
Our Vision
A healthy ecosystem across Haiti that spontaneously produces clean water springs, abundant water sources, increased crop yields, and fertile soils so that prosperity and peace can belong to the beautiful people of Haiti again. Viv Ayiti!
