Impact

The results of the project are phenomenal. Haitians are turning landscapes from barren and eroded to green and lovely. The villagers are paid nominally to plant the grass, who in turn use the critical revenue to feed their families and for the education of their children, in a meaningful and green “win-win” sustainable scenario. A critical component of the project are the grassroots donors needed to achieve this success.

BEFORE PLANTING GRASS AT A COMMUNITY VILLAGE IN HAITI AND THREE MONTHS AFTER.

BEFORE PLANTING THE GRASS AND TWO MONTHS AFTER. (NOTE: AS FUNDING BECOMES AVAILABLE, THE HAITIANS CONTINUE TO PLANT THE REST OF THE AREAS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.)

WE ARE CREATING A GREAT CULTURE OF LAWNS AROUND HOMES IN HAITI

Grass Nursery in Haiti. Once established, the grass grows faster than Florida due to the high rainfall and temperatures in Haiti.

Education is key to environmental conservation. We continue to educate hundreds of locals on conservation in Haiti.

The communities harvest the grass in cut and carry operation and feed it to their livestock.  The livestock provides, milk, meat, draft power and revenue.

Haiti has hundreds of acres of eroded lands. We are determined to turn all these into landscapes with green vegetation. Partnerships with grassroots donors are critical to the project.
