GreenMicrofinance Response to Haiti

On January 12, Haiti experienced a 7.0-magnitude earthquake, devastating this impoverished island nation.  

GreenMicrofinance has set up a pipeline in Haiti through The Association of Peasants of Fondwa (APF), a grassroots organization that has worked with the peasants of Fondwa since 1988.  For 22 years APF has worked with farmers in Fondwa to develop basic infrastructure of all kinds they have not had previously. But unfortunately all this that was accomplished over the past two decades was destroyed in a few seconds during the earthquake.

Clean Cook Stoves for the Peasants of Fondwa

We have identified low cost, durable clean stove technical providers.  Clean cook stoves reduce emissions by as much as 80%, use up to 60% less fuel and reduce cooking cycle time by up to 50%.

Donations

100% of donated funds are designated for GreenMicrofinance Haiti Relief.   All donations will be received through our non-profit, 501(c)(3). You can pay through PAYPAL securely or write a check.  We are financially accountable and will post on-going updates on-line.
