Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?

Haiti remains one of the poorest countries of the world. Poverty is related to the weakness of its agriculture. In addition, the Cyclone Sandy in November 2012 in North of HAITI has devastated the agricultural productions. We want to help people in the common region of the North of Milot country HAITI by improving their living conditions. There is too much wasting of the agricultural products because rural environments are not equipped with structure of conservation or transformation.

What is your project and how will it help?

We would like to build a centre of transformation and storage for agricultural products.
a)building 3 hangars of 25×50m on a 3ha plot:
- one to stock and preserve transformed products and to wrap the goods in bags
- one for the transformation proces of the products
- one for housing the laboratory, the cooling of the products and the administration.
b)building 6 coolers to dry the products before the transformation proces.
c)buying materials and tools necessary for the realisation of the different phases of the project.
d)human resources: workers, cadres, technicians, etc.

Quickly after the farmers adapt the novel methods of conservation or transformation, they are expected to have
a) an intensification of commercial exchanges
b) an investment of size in the zone
c) an increase in the purchasing power of the population
d) an increase in the capacity of access to certain social services (Health, education, food…)
