Plante Lakay Mange Lakay (Plant Local Eat Local) initiative was launched 
on May 24, 2018, Centre Haitian D'Action Humanitaire tree planting event was a big success! CEHAH’s newly donated land in Cabaret was prepped and ready for a group of volunteers to go and plant trees.to help the soil to prevent mudslides, and eventually provide nutrition for the locals. We planted a Total of 500 trees, mango trees, coconut trees avocado trees, water Mellon etc. Immediately after the day of service, on May 26, CEHAH held a GALA at the Marriott of Port-Au-Prince, to start raising funds to help obtain an effective irrigation system to ensure that the trees are getting the right amount of water required for growth. Please donate something today, no amount is too big or too small. Thank you!

We are in great need for an irrigation system, would you donate something today? To help with our effort to improve the deforestation problem in Haiti, while we feed the people of Haiti?  Team CEHAH- Centre Haitien D'Action Humanitaire, is on site making it happen, make a donation today at https://www.gofundme.com/HaitiMissionIrma you!

Haiti Agricultural Campaign ~ PLANTE LAKAY, MANJE LAKAY Meaning Plant Local, Eat Local

 

This campaign is to support the need for agriculture in Haiti. In the process, we will teach the youth to plant seeds, plant trees, which we plan to provide to them. They will learn how to care for the earth for nourishment for their bodies. As the old Chinese Proverb states, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

According to the World Food Program, currently, five percent of the children of Haiti suffer from acute malnutrition, and almost half of women aged 15 to 49 and 65 percent of children under five are anaemic.

Our PLANTE LAKAY, MANJE LAKAY campaign is set to launch this fall, requires two years to be fully implemented and is estimated to cost $50,000.

In conclusion, Haiti’s development is going to take highly skilled human capital from the Haitian diaspora, and all of you friends of Haiti. To keep a skilled workforce in Haiti;  we need to ensure leadership for sustainable social, economic and institutional development are in place. You can make this project possible, no donations are too big or too small- Please help us raise the funds by August 31st to meet our goal of $5,000.
