Completed July 2014, the development team of Food for the Poor, Inc. identified and created an agricultural project for Titayen, Haiti to aid this poor and desperate village. 2,000 fruit tree seedlings have been planted at the Foundation Montesino! The trees will provide food; replenish the soil and the environment suffering from deforestation; positively impact the nutrition of the children at the school and orphanage; provide a source of income for the orphanage from the sale of fruit; and restore a sense of pride, ownership and hope for the local families charged with the responsibility to care for the trees.
