Haiti’s environment is facing serious challenges. Traditional farming methods — like over-tilling, chemical fertilizers, and growing the same crop repeatedly — have stripped nutrients from the soil, making it more vulnerable to erosion and drought. Deforestation has made things worse. Without trees to anchor the soil and regulate water flow, heavy rain washes away fertile topsoil, leading to floods, landslides, and poor growing conditions.

To restore the land, farmers need regenerative practices like crop rotation, agroforestry (planting trees alongside crops), and composting. These methods rebuild soil health and improve food production.

What Is A Green Club?

Haiti’s Green Clubs are training the next generation to protect the environment. Through hands-on projects, young leaders are restoring forests, safeguarding water sources, and promoting sustainable farming to improve water supply and crop growth. These clubs connect youth across all ten departments, building a nationwide movement for a greener, more resilient future.

Green Clubs start with a small group of passionate youth ready to make a difference. With help from local mentors, they identify environmental issues in their community — like deforestation, soil erosion, or waste. Then, they take action by planting trees, starting school gardens, or promoting recycling. They work with local groups, farmers, and educators to become a powerful force for change.

Green Clubs train youth to be environmental leaders. By restoring forests, protecting water sources, and promoting sustainable farming, they help fight deforestation, soil erosion, and food shortages. These clubs also strengthen communities by teaching practical skills, encouraging teamwork, and inspiring long-term care for Haiti’s natural resources.

Green Clubs need basic supplies like seeds, gardening tools, and educational materials to complete their projects. Training in sustainable farming, reforestation, and waste management helps them develop practical skills. Guidance from farmers, teachers, and environmental experts teaches them how to protect soil, conserve water, and grow more food. With mapping tools, eco-literacy programs, and community partnerships, Green Clubs can make an even bigger impact and drive real change.

You can support or volunteer with a Green Club by donating things like seeds, tools, or educational materials to help them with their projects. You can also volunteer your time by helping with tree planting, school gardens, or recycling efforts. If you have knowledge in farming, ecology, or education, you can mentor or train Green Club members to teach them new skills. Lastly, spreading the word about Green Clubs and their impact helps get more people involved, making the movement even stronger.

Green Clubs protect water sources and soil health by planting native trees and restoring forests, which help reduce erosion and keep rivers and streams clean. They use sustainable farming practices like composting, crop rotation, and organic methods to improve soil fertility and reduce chemical use. Green Clubs also set up school gardens and rainwater catchment systems, teaching important lessons on water conservation and soil protection. By caring for the land, these youth-led clubs are helping to protect Haiti’s natural resources for future generations.

Green Club projects are funded through a combination of sources, including local fundraising efforts, partnerships with organizations, government grants, and donations from individuals or businesses that support environmental initiatives. Additionally, some projects may receive support from international environmental foundations or organizations working to promote sustainable development and conservation in Haiti. 

Wear The Change

Think of the Green Club shirts as parts of Haiti’s larger ecological system. Each one has the same front logo, showing they’re all connected. But the back logos and colors are different, representing their unique roles — green for trees, brown for soil, and blue for water.

Yellow represents the sun’s energy, while black symbolizes hidden microorganisms. Bright pink, red, and purple bring flowers, fruits, and pollinators to life. Orange reflects the fallen leaves, and white stands for clouds or fungi. Together, these colors create a vibrant picture of nature’s connections! 

Green Connect

Dedicated Facebook Groups

We provide dedicated Facebook groups where organizations can share their Green Club photos, videos, and progress updates — a space to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate achievements. Members can post updates, ask questions, and learn from other Green Clubs across Haiti. These groups help strengthen teamwork, provide mentorship opportunities, and keep everyone motivated in the movement for a greener future.
