In Mountrouis, the members of Tet Kole and Peyizan Ayisen are celebrating the opening and dedication of a first-of-its-kind goat breeding center. According to Rosnel Jean Baptiste, general coordinator of the organization, this represents a great example of collaboration and the opportunity to ensure food security while reducing dependence of imported food.
"This breeding center will also help us to be more successful in improving other community needs like access to water," Baptiste said.
With Heifer Haiti, they will continue planting trees and transforming the landscape. This model will be expanded to reach a larger impact on other places in Haiti.
