Our Roots, Our Growth
The Seed of Change
Grown in Haiti was born from a simple realization: the land that sustains us needed healing and care. It all started with a commitment to revitalizing our soil and empowering our communities through sustainable practices, rooted in the rich heritage and resilience of the Haitian people.
Our initial steps were modest – creating nurseries from recycled materials, distributing saplings, and planting trees with our neighbors. This act of nurturing the land was our first stride towards fostering a culture of sustainability and self-reliance, aiming to inspire a collective movement towards environmental stewardship and community empowerment.
Path of Progress
As Grown in Haiti took root, each milestone marked not just growth but a deeper connection within our community and with the land itself. Our journey is punctuated with milestones that represent both our achievements and the shared experiences that bring us closer to our vision. Here are some key moments that define our journey.

Starting with little more than seeds and determination, our first nursery became the birthplace of thousands of saplings. It symbolized our commitment to reforestation an as the first step in our mission to educate and involve the community in sustainable practices.

Reaching the milestone of planting our 10,000th tree was a testament to collective effort and the tangible impact of our reforestation initiatives. Each tree planted represents a hope for the future and a step towards ecological balance.

In a stride towards creating a hub for learning and collaborations, we announced plans for the Community Learning Center. This center is envisioned as a cornerstone for community empowermet, offering a space for education, innocation, and growth.

A landmark collaboration with Alpha Arts Alliance (ALPHA) marked a significant expansion of our educational and community engagement efforts. This partnership not only enhanced our capacity to reach more individuals but also enriched our programs with a blend of creativity and sustainability.

The alliance with ALPHA exemplifies how shared values and visions canamplify impact, bringing us closer to our goal of a sustainable and vibrant Haiti.

Understanding that true change comes through education, we launched our first series of workshops aimed at haring knowledge on regenerative agroforesty and environmental stewardship. These workshops empowered community members to take active roles in our mission.

With each passing season, our understanding deepens. From our first nursery to the establishment of comprehensive educational programs, we’ve learned that true sustainability is a shared journey.
It’s about more than just planting trees; it’s about growing communities.
