Empowering Women to Feed and Lead Haiti

Transforming Lives Through Agriculture

We envision a Haiti where women food producers—whether in rural villages or urban centers, with a hoe or behind the wheel of a tractor—are empowered as engines of food security, economic resilience, and export growth.

By investing in their potential, we are shaping a new narrative for Haiti’s agricultural sector—one of productivity, competitiveness, and leadership driven by women.

Our Approach

Our Foundation fosters economic empowerment and leadership for Haitian women in agriculture—ranging from smallholder farmers to agripreneurs and exporters. We connect them to resources, markets, and networks across borders and champion their participation in agricultural market systems as a driver of inclusive growth.

We believe women are central to transforming Haiti’s food economy—as farmers, processors, vendors, and exporters—and we are committed to creating pathways to sustainable livelihoods.

We improve financial inclusion by:

We open new markets by:

Our Impact Crops

We focus on strengthening value chains in staple crops where Haitian women are actively engaged, including:

These crops hold deep cultural significance and present strong potential for economic growth through value addition and export.
