Thank you so much for all you have done for the community of Saint Louis de Sud, Haiti. The people from mountain villages all over this region came in May to collect the trees they requested and are so thankful. 10,000 trees distributed to approximately 1000 homes. We made a big difference!

Eden Tax trees for families
Giving trees to local families is one of the best ways to reforest here. They are growing the fruit trees all around their homes for much needed food and shade. And, when you give to families, it’s mostly the children that water the trees and carry the love for them into the next generation.

Reforesting Haiti
The Haiti Tree Project works tree nurseries run by local farmers and villagers, showing them how reforestation aids sustainable development while making them financially self-sufficient. The nurseries grow a variety of fruit trees and forest trees native to the country. Women hold major roles in the project commitee and nearby school students are also involved in reforesting their future.
