Planting Seeds for Haiti's Future

By Martine Jean-Baptiste | Founder, Executive Director

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.
