The Gift of Stability ~ 25 Trees or Shrubs ~ Dominican Republic & Haiti

Your gift will help to reforest the banks of the Artibonite River in order to build prosperity for both the Dominican and the Haitian peoples. The Artibonite flows through both countries and is a source of energy, irrigation and drinking water for more than 70% of Haiti's population. It supports 2/3 of Haiti's rice production, the most important food staple for the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Rampant deforestation has resulted in poor water quality and quantity.

The Nature Conservancy is an international conservation organization working to restore the watershed of the Artibonite through reforestation and training of community leaders. Find out more at www.alternativegifts.org
