WHAT WE DO
We plant fruit trees. We’re in Haiti, Jamaica, many other Caribbean countries, also Central America and Africa. We donate breadfruit trees, mango trees, avocados, cashews, and many fruit trees. Our vision is seeing self-sustaining communities and entrepreneurs, based on agroforestry.
Find out more about us, and support us if you can!
