Working for a Verdant, Productive Haitian Landscape

   While Haiti's climate can support a long growing season, outmoded farming methods and large areas devastated by erosion are just two of the challenges facing people who want to make their living from the land.

   Since the early 2000s, Haitian Ministries has supported Wynne Farm, a small nature and environmental center and the home of Haiti-native Jane Wynne. The center is in Kenscoff, a town about a 45-minute drive up the mountains from Port-au-Prince. Jane maintains a small but diverse and lush garden at Wynne Farm.

    Jane works with recycling projects, reforestation efforts throughout Haiti, and on other soil conservation and environmental education projects. She teaches at schools in and around Port-au-Prince and runs a "fresh-air" camp for children from programs that Haitian Ministries supports, including orphanages and Madam Samson's meal program. 

     Travelers in immersion trips with Haitian Ministries visit Wynne Farm.  Haitian Ministries provided emergency relief funds to Wynne Farm after a devastating hurricane in northern Haiti in the early 2000s. That money helped in a reforestation project spearheaded by Jane Wynne. Haitian Ministries remains open to further collaborations with Wynne Farm.
