haiti relief

Dear Friends,

Plant With Purpose currently works in 67 villages in Haiti and focuses on long-term development work to ensure that villages are more resilient to natural disasters.  Due to the severity of the January 12^th earthquake, Plant With Purpose is now raising funds for relief efforts as well, which includes seed distribution, soil conservation barrier construction, and employment opportunities.

Since the earthquake, Plant With Purpose has distributed 125 tons of food, and has provided nearly 80,000 pounds of bean seed to thousands of rural farmers. Additionally, we have employed nearly 2,700 farmers through our "Cash for Work" program to construct dozens of miles of soil conservation barriers. They will soon begin planting hundreds of thousands of trees, which will provide a vital barricade against the impending hurricane season.

Thanks to your generous support, we have raised nearly $1 million toward these efforts. However, the situation in Haiti remains desperate, and so we are continuing to raise funds.

If you would like to make a donation that will 100% benefit our immediate and long-term relief and recovery efforts, please fill out and submit the donation form below.

We would be very grateful for your contributions to these efforts, which promise to be long and difficult. Follow our blog at www.plantwithpurpose.blogspot.com for updates from our local staff in Haiti. Thank you again for your prayers and for your partnership with us for the good of Haiti.

Sincerely,

Scott Sabin, Plant With Purpose Executive Director
