In 2017 the ministry began funding an agronomist, Myriel Fanfan, to work with local farmers. Working in a class setting or one-on-one, he teaches the most efficient farming methods, crop optimization and, sustainability techniques. His work has resulted in a tree nursery that supplies the community with many varieties of trees (mango, papaya, coconut, lemon, avocado, moringa) that can be planted and used to improve household nutrition and provide produce to sell at market.

Employment
Since 2004, the Ministry has created jobs for teachers, water technicians, health care workers, and gardeners. Through educational support, we have improved the prospect that young people will achieve a level of economic stability that far surpasses that of their parents and grandparents.

Technology
The IC Haiti Ministry purchased, assembled and installed two solar-powered grain mills in two remote parish chapels. Farmers now can avoid the costs (user fees and fuel) associated with milling their grain before it is taken to market. We are currently seeking a solution to the area’s lack of internet connectivity.
