Haiti Lenten Appeal
Medor Fact Sheet

The parishioners of Medor and the Haiti Ministry thank you for your generosity during the Haiti Lenten Appeal. The agroforestry program continues to thrive. Approximately 85% of transplanted trees are growing on the mountainsides. A grant application to The Boston Foundation was sent recently requesting support for the six tree nurseries currently in operation: 1 in Medor and 5 in outlying chapel areas. Deforestation with resultant floods, mudslides, loss of water tables, and food insecurity spurs this project to continue assisting six communities to plant over 300,000 trees in one year. The program will be self-operational in the mid-term by associating tree planting with an agricultural service that grows income generating crops like coffee, maize, beans; forming a local committee that manages the project under supervision of a technician; giving additional training on marketng, leadership, agricultural value chain and entrepreneurship; and facilitating market access of the products at the right time of demands. Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers!
