Histories and Generalities

Generally Haiti is country that is considered like a poor one. But when we take into account what the country possess as resources we could say that we are a rich one. The reason why we are like that is because we do not really work on our local product to produce more so that the country can feed himself and it does not need to wait for the help of the others country. In order words, if we invest in the agricultural field that can help decrease and improve the situation of the population. By that, we will have natural food to eat, and more business, we will be able to export also what we have as local product to the international market. We have mango, banana, and others things that could help us with this economic problem that the country is facing because we do not produce anything and we are waiting from the international. A good country must count on what it has as production not what they bring in to it. Haiti was a country that used to export many good things like coffee, mango, banana, sugar cane. But with the exodus rural, we do not produce anything anymore; everyone goes to the town and leaves the mountain to plaint some products. And moreover, the state does not accompany our planters. When we are looking at the situation, as young we are the future of the country. So, it’s for that, we decide to act to see how we can contribute to solve the economic problem and see how we can send more people to school with the plantation of the banana. We would like every year, with what we income from the banana plantation to pay the school for twenty kids, and give 5 planters job and make business with twenty sellers.  NEW

Context and justification

NEW GENERATION OF LAVANNEAU, Daily we are deeply touched by the critical situation of our community to see what we can do to act on the problems to find a solution. We are all as Haitian concern by Haiti’s situation. It is the reason why every little thing that we do can mean a lot. Among the urgent problems that the community of Lavanneau is facing, we have: alimentary problems (the population does not find and cannot afford feeding himself), educational problems (there are not enough good school for the children, and sometimes parents cannot afford sending his child to school), and sanitary problems (insufficient medical stuff for taking care of: baby, pregnant women, olds etc.). Therefore, we cannot stay indifferent towards our brothers and sisters who are suffering. For this, we would like to act on a problem that’s really crucial, the agricultural problem by: developing and plant banana culture on about 1,293 hectares of land. If we arrive to grow two thousand bananas plant that will improve many things: 1- That will help us sending to school every year minimally about twenty (20) kids. 2- That will help us giving about 20 sellers a little business1. 3- That will help with the mass starvation, for we will help the area with this local product. 4- That will act on the health of the population, for the majority of our brothers and sisters consumes rise daily. So they will find the bananas available on the market. 5- Generally that will help the country with the rural exodus and progressively decrease the poverty in this area. For, we will be able to give five (5) planters job. 

Dessource, Saint Antoine, Savanette, Benjamin, Gabriel Source, Desmarattes, Decamp, Locadi, Grand Fond, Bodwen, Saint Ange, Saint Antoine and Delbo. Its area is 49 km2. It is bounded on the west by the left river, to the North East by the Mountain then to the South East by the Lavallee de Jacmel. According to IHSI4, the population is 15,000. It is run by a council of the communal section (CASEC) with three members. The head office of this council is in the Minutieux building at Carrefour Penguin. According to a report published in the year 2016 by IHSI, there are 1000 families living in this locality, 1000 young people who are school age, and 10500 illiterate. There are 3 primary schools, 2 secondary schools and there is no high school in the area. It should be noted that this community also has resources that constitute its potential: first, in terms of health, there is a health center located in Bassin Bleu, which serves a large portion of the population. Then, as regards to human resources, we have engineers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc. in the area. Finally, in the field of education, we have schools such as: National School of City Light, National School of St Angel, if we quote that. And we also have an association of planters in the area.

We will have to rent the land every five years. If we could buy it, it would be better for us. This money that is in the budget for the planters is for paying the planters for the 10 first month of working. After that, the garden will generate enough money to pay the planters.

MONITORING, REPPORTS AND EVALUATION

Monitoring The project is an agricultural project but that is going to help in the education field, the

economic problems, and create more food available for the population and decrease the starvation. With the rapport that is going to be available every month, that will give an idea how the project is going and what to do, what it deserves to work on so that everything can go easily. For this, we will have a group that has an agronomist, an educator, a peasant and a seller to have an eye on everything and a meeting will be held at the end of each month to discuss about the project. 

Report While the project is being executed, we will have different reports to give to those who

are supporting us in this project. We mean the yawner will be aware about how everything is going. We have a report every month about how the garden is developing and how the sellers are involving in the business. And annually, there will be a report about the school payment and the work of these children that we have accompanied with the project. 

Evaluation The project will be evaluated each month through the meeting that we are going to have

with the group that has the agronomist, the educator, the seller and the planter. And at the end of the year, we will have a last evaluation about everything. 

Conclusion In sum, our project that aims to help many people that is really in the needs like:

starvation, educations, jobs can help improving the situation of people in Lavanneau. As young who are growing up there, we have the will and we organize ourselves to act on the problem, sometimes the funds are missing and prevent us from eradicate some urgent problem in our area. If you support us with that project is like you support education of 20 kids; you support 20 sellers and give job to 5 planters. You can help us acting truly on the problem of the community.
