Support Chicken farm project in
Petit-Goave, Haiti

     
 

Department of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine (FAMV) at Haiti's State University calls for a programme spanning the country's 10 departments to increase technical and expert assistance, give subsidies to the agriculture and fishing sector, promote egg and chicken-farming, a nationwide campaign to provide agricultural credits to peasants and an incremental raising of tariffs on foreign agricultural products to benefit Haitian farmers. Activists in Haiti are calling for an overhaul of the nation's agriculture policies, which they say have resulted in Haiti importing more than half of its food while local farmers are mired in poverty. Before 1950, Haiti produced more than 80 percent of its own food and exported coffee, cocoa, meat and sugar. Since then, political instability, among other factors, has made the development of Haitian agriculture a low priority. To re-energize Haiti's rural economy, many analysts believe the government itself must intervene in order to create the space for jobs. Your support will enhance to re-gain agricultural economy in rural Petit-Goave in Haiti.

Support access to drinking water programs

     

Nearly 1.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water, according to the World Health Organization, and 2.6 billion do not have access to basic sanitation. As a result, each year about 3.1 million children and adults worldwide die from water-related illnesses such as diarrhea and malaria. The lack of clean water, combined with the lack of basic sanitation and basic hygiene education, is one of the largest obstacles to progress and development in the world. Your support will enhance providing drinking water in rural communities in Asia and South Africa.
