YOU can ensure trees are planted in Haiti, where they are desperately needed, by both the poverty-stricken people and the degraded environment, with a donation to Bethlehem Ministry today! The project encompasses 154 hectares (385 acres) and will directly improve the lives of 75-85 families (700-800 individuals). Additionally, the project will serve as an important model for the region, where most have never known anything but deforested mountains. As Rob Fisher says, "If we ever want to have a meaningful impact on what underlies the poverty of Haiti, we must move beyond boutique-scale gestures. In our service area of three hundred square miles, hunger is chronic, economic poverty is dire, and the land's ability to feed the population has collapsed. Child malnutrition is widespread, and every rainstorm takes away the lifeblood of the land, the soil." The cost of this program amounts to less than $1.50 per tree! A gift of just $50 supports the planting and nurturing of more than 35 trees!
