You Made it Happen

All of us here at Little Seed Farm would like to thank YOU, our amazing community. With your support, we're planting over 16,720 trees in partnership with veritree, helping restore one of the world's most deforested landscapes and supporting the communities who depend on it most.

Every purchase you made contributed to something far bigger than a jar of deodorant. It contributed to a living, breathing forest, and to the livelihoods of the women and families growing it.

Your commitment to sustainability and caring for the Earth is truly inspiring. Together, we're making a difference!

The Numbers Behind Your Trees

It can be hard to picture what 16,720 trees actually means. Here's what your support translated to on the ground:

The Haiti Agroforestry Project

Haiti has lost the vast majority of its forest cover over the past century, leaving communities vulnerable to soil erosion, food insecurity, and economic instability. Through women-led agroforestry, this program is changing that.

Agroforestry is a sustainable land management approach that combines the cultivation of trees or woody plants with agricultural crops or livestock on the same piece of land. This integrated system provides ecological and economic benefits, including healthier soil, biodiversity conservation, and increased land productivity.

• 84% of program leaders are women
  In Haiti, where nearly half of all households are women-led, this program puts women at the center of restoration. Participants gain training, income, and a seat at the decision-making table, building confidence and community leadership alongside the forests they're growing.
• Supporting displaced families
  As violence has forced more than 1.2 million Haitians from their homes, many have settled in the rural communities where this project operates. By welcoming displaced families into the program, the project extends both economic opportunity and a sense of stability to those who need it most.
• Creating long-term economic opportunities
  Through a honey-optimized agroforestry model, farmers plant native and fruit-bearing species including mango, cashew, guava, and cacao, providing food during the dry season and income year-round. Prosperity Catalyst's women-led cooperative Fanm Limye ("Women Illuminated") turns the honey harvested from these systems into candles sold in local and regional markets.
