Youth Changing Haiti One Tree At A Time

#GivingTuesday is on December 2nd this year. THAT’S TODAY!! Join the Global Movement for Giving and support FAHM's initiatives. We know you have a lot of choices when it comes to donating and we are so grateful that you chose to donate to our cause which addresses food insecurity, climate change, health and education. 

Every day Haitian midwives empathetically bear witness and can attest to the life long detrimental consequences of food insecurity and the negative impact it plays on a child’s health, capacity to learn and thrive.

Trees are a sustainable source of nutrition, address food insufficiency and are a way to increase family income. Planting trees reverses soil erosion & builds climate resilience. Organically grown nutritious fruits & vegetables are full of vitamins & minerals and maintain health to enhance a child’s ability to learn. 

Your generous gift enables Haitian midwives to provide accurate & culturally appropriate education on health & nutrition to Haiti's youth PLUS gifts Haiti’s youth and their families nutritional food sources right in their backyards.

Please consider a one-time donation or becoming a FAHM IMPACT PARTNER (monthly donor). Your strong and steady monthly support will empower midwives in doing what they do best: keeping birth and sexual & reproductive services safe, respectful, equitable and accessible. Your generous and reliable monthly gifts will enable us to both plan for the long term and quickly respond when unexpected crises arise.

One last thing—sharing our project with your friends and family helps us spread the word about our work and continue to grow our community of supporters like you. If you’re willing to share the story of our work with your network, we’d be incredibly grateful. Please forward, tag, like, share everywhere.No donation is too small. It all adds up. Together we can make it happen.

Thanks for standing strong with Haitian midwives in building a healthier and stronger Haiti.

Since January 2024, our youth program (ages 12–16) has been on an incredible journey of growth, learning, and community impact. Over 90 young people—55 girls and 35 boys—have participated in 17 classes covering essential topics like self-esteem, relationships, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence, and more. Through films and open discussions, students connected deeply with real-life challenges and shared their own experiences.

Along with their regular monthly lessons, two major activities brought the learning to life:

Beach Day at Belly Beach:
35 youth and staff enjoyed a day of learning, play, and team-building by the sea. From walking the rocky path together to swimming and sharing a meal, the experience was unforgettable. Many shared that it was the best day of their lives.

Tree Planting with Agronomist Ronald Anténor:
150 fruit trees—coconut, cherry, citrus, cashew, and orange—were distributed. Each child received five trees and hands-on training in planting and caring for them. These trees symbolize both personal responsibility and a hopeful future for Haiti.

Our youth are not only gaining knowledge but also building the confidence to dream bigger, care for their environment, and take the lead in shaping a stronger Haiti. Together, we are planting seeds—both literal and figurative—for the next generation.

With your support, the seeds we plant today will shape Haiti’s tomorrow.Thank you for standing with us and believing in Haiti’s future.
