A very happy and healthy sheep!
It’s been just over a year and a half since the earthquake. This means that the Lambi Fund of Haiti has fully transitioned into long-term rebuilding mode. Eight new projects are starting throughout the country that will strengthen communities and create important means for sustainable incomes.
One such project is a sheep breeding project in Sothern Haiti. The Bedo Peasants Together organization (TKB) wants to raise and breed sheep in an effort to increase incomes for its members. In all 44 sheep will be purchased to start breeding. Training in sheep farming, veterinary care and on the importance of caring for the environment while raising animals will be provided in a series of workshops – which will ensure members are trained to manage the project for long-term success.
Your continued support for long-term rebuilding efforts in Haiti make small business enterprises like this one possible! The sheep will be purchased and sufficient training on sheep care and management will be administered thanks to donations like yours. An easy way to continue to make rebuilding in Haiti possible is to lend your support by sharing this project with friends and family members. The more we rally together, the more we can help a community organization like TKB get their development project off the ground.

Oxen ready to plow fields
It is an important time of year in Haiti – its planting season. Lambi Fund members throughout Haiti are gearing up to plant crops and maximize the use of their land. Thanks to invaluable support by donors like you, these Haitian farmers are ready to utilize numerous improve agriculture methods. For instance, ROJETAT is excited to utilize the use of ox-plows to cultivate and prepare their land. Newly purchased oxen and a plow will help these members plow their fields in a timely and efficient manner. Previous years’ planting seasons have been a stressful and back-breaking time for Haitians who were left to plow their fields by hand using hoes. The introduction of an ox-plow service is quickly making this tough reality a thing of the past!
Help continue to support Haitian peasants like members of ROJETAT as they strive for improved methods to cultivate their fields and increase crop outputs. Empowering entire communities towards greater self-sufficiency and food security is an investment well made.
