THE COFHED TEAM IN HAITI COOPERATES WITH GREAT DEDICATION IN TRAINING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS WHO THEMSELVES GET TO RELAY WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED TO THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WHERE KNOWLEDGE IS CO-CONSTRUCTED. FROM OCTOBER 2019 TO JULY 2023, WE TRAINED 61 ENGAGEMENT CATALYSTS AND LEADERS FOR COMMUNITY AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. DURING THE PERIOD FROM OCTOBER 2023 TO APRIL 2024, WE PROVIDED SPECIALIZED TRAINING TO 10 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CATALYSTS AND LEADERS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY UNDERGONE TRAINING, IMPROVING THEIR FACILITATION CAPABILITIES TO A MORE ADVANCED LEVEL. WE TAUGHT MANY MODULES IN OUR TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE WE DISCUSSED DIFFERENT TOPICS SUCH AS COMMUNICATION, PRINCIPLES OF ADULT LEARNING, TEAMWORK, LEADERSHIP, HUMAN RIGHTS, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, RESPECT, LOVE OF NEIGHBOR, VULNERABILITY, FRAGILITY, EQUITY, POWER, CONSCIENTIZATION, ETHICS, CULTURE-BELIEFS AND VALUES, AWARENESS, CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ENVIRONMENT, VIOLENCE PREVENTION, HEALTH INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH, DECISION-MAKING, MANAGEMENT, FACILITATION AND MUCH MORE. WE CO-CONSTRUCTED KNOWLEDGE IN OUR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, AND THAT HELPS US GAIN INSIGHTS FROM TRAINEES' LIVED EXPERIENCES AND UNDERSTANDING. ALL THIS TRAINING HAS REALLY CONTRIBUTED TO MAKING THE PARTICIPANTS MORE EFFECTIVE IN THE SERVICES THEY OFFERED IN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WORK. MANY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CATALYSTS AND LEADERS REMAIN ATTACHED TO THEIR COMMUNITIES AND KEEP PEOPLE MOTIVATED EITHER THROUGH MANY HOME VISITS THAT THEY DO, OR THROUGH COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT THEY COORDINATE.FROM JULY 2023 TO JUNE 2024, WE COUNTED A TOTAL OF 387 COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT WERE HELD IN 14 COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY RESIDENTS DO NOT NEGLECT THE DAY AND TIME TO MEET. IN THESE MEETINGS, THE LEADERS OR FACILITATORS MAINTAIN PROPER DIALOGUE CONCERNING THE TOPICS TO DISCUSS. THERE IS ROOM FOR EVERYONE WITHOUT DISTINCTION TO PARTICIPATE. EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK. IT IS A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES BEFORE FELT ENCOURAGED TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS WITH THE GROUP OR ANYONE ELSE. AND OUR TRAINED CATALYSTS AND LEADERS DISCUSS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES MANY OF THE TOPICS THAT THEY HAD DISCUSSED IN CLASS. IT IS A SPACE FOR DIALOGUE, BRAINSTORMING, AND LEARNING IN MUTUAL RESPECT. IT IS ALSO A SPACE THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO SMILE AND LAUGH WHEN SOME RESPECTFUL JOKES ARE SHARED AMONG THEM IN THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIVING. IT HELPS MANAGE THEIR STRESS. AND MANY PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO MISS THEIR MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY LOSE A LOT WHEN THEY CAN'T COME."I AM MOTIVATED TO COME TO THE MEETINGS BECAUSE ALL OF THE DISCUSSIONS TAKING PLACE ARE GOOD FOR ME. I'VE LEARNED A LOT AND WHAT I'VE LEARNED HELPS ME LIVE BETTER WITH MY FAMILY. I MUST BE VERY ILL TO MISS ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS. I USED TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANGER, AND I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH PATIENCE TO SUPPORT AND UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WHEN THERE WAS A DISAGREEMENT. NOW I HAVE OBSERVED A BIG CHANGE IN ME WHEREAS EVEN IF SOMEONE WANTS TO OFFEND ME OR BOTHER ME, I GET TO CONTROL MYSELF. I USED TO INSULT PEOPLE THAT OWE ME MONEY, I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. OTHER THINGS, I SEE THE COMMUNITY IS NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE. FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE, OTHER THAN CLOSE NEIGHBORS, COME TO MY HOUSE TO VISIT WITH ME. NOW THAT THE COMMUNITY LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS COME TO VISIT ME, TALK TO ME, AND TO FIND OUT ABOUT OUR ISSUES. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A GROUP OF NURSES WHO VISIT ME AS WELL. I WAS IN GREAT PAIN AND MY HEART WAS BEATING FAST. THEY CONSULTED ME AND MY HUSBAND ALSO; THEY GAVE US MEDICINE AND WE FEEL GREAT RELIEF. MY HUSBAND AND I SEND A BIG THANK YOU TO THE COFHED TEAM FOR THE GOOD WORK THEY ARE DOING." VESTA, GUILLAUME COMMUNITY IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY BENEFICIAL TO CONTINUE THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CATALYST PROGRAM AT OUR HEADQUARTERS IN CAMP-PERRIN, GIVEN ITS POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITIES. OUR EXPERIENCES, ALONG WITH THE TESTIMONIALS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THEIR EAGERNESS TO ATTEND MEETINGS, SUPPORT THIS CLAIM. WHILE WE DO NOT PROVIDE SNACKS FOR PARTICIPANTS, AND MANY LACK COMFORTABLE SEATING IN THEIR COMMUNITY SPACES, THEY STILL SHOW UP AND MANAGE TO FIND A PLACE TO STAND OR SIT. ADDITIONALLY, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CATALYSTS AND FACILITATORS ARE COMMITTED TO THEIR ROLES BY:- VISITING THE SICK IN THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.- PROMOTING CLEANLINESS AND GOOD HYGIENE PRACTICES IN HOMES WHERE THESE ARE LACKING.- VISITING VULNERABLE FAMILIES TO LISTEN TO THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEEDBACK.- NURTURING TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS.- REACHING OUT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MISSED SEVERAL MEETINGS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR REASONS FOR ABSENCE AND OFFER ENCOURAGEMENT.- ADVOCATING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND ENCOURAGING BUSINESS OWNERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PROPERLY MANAGE PLASTIC WASTE AND OTHER REFUSE. AS A RESULT, SOME LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT PREVIOUSLY DISCARDED PLASTIC WASTE HAVE CHANGED THEIR PRACTICES.- ORGANIZING SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR MOTHERS IN CELEBRATION OF MOTHER'S DAY.- PROMOTE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES THROUGH MUTUAL SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY.- ACTING AS GOOD SAMARITANS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.- SERVING AS ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT AGENTS OF CHANGE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.- FACILITATING SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF VARIOUS COMMUNITY PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS.- CONTRIBUTING TO THE MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROCESSES OF COMMUNITY INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS.COMMUNITY PLANNING AND EVALUATIONTHIS SUMMER WE PLANNED TO SUPPORT 7 COMMUNITIES IN IMPLEMENTING THEIR OWN COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION. WE TRAINED 42 LOCAL LEADERS AND EQUIPPED THEM WITH THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE WORK IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY. THE TRAINING FOCUSED ON THE FOLLOWING:1. COMMUNITY HISTORY, MAPS, TRENDS, SEASONAL CALENDAR, WEALTH RANKING2. MAPPING AND IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY STRENGTHS, ASSETS, AND RESOURCES 3. APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY, PROBLEM ANALYSIS 4. SWOT ANALYSIS AND COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN5. HOW TO FACILITATE FOCUS GROUPS ON: - ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE - AGRICULTURE - VIOLENCE AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION- IMPACT OF SOCIAL NETWORKS, DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE ON YOUTHS- CONFLICT AND RESOLUTION - PEACEBUILDING/INSECURITY - INTERNAL MIGRATION- CIVIC RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CITIZENS- LIVELIHOODS- HEALTH/MENTAL HEALTH - EDUCATION WE HOPE THAT THESE SKILLS GAINED WILL SERVE NOT ONLY THEIR COMMUNITIES BUT MORE COMMUNITIES IN SOUTHERN HAITI AND BEYOND. AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENTIT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS SINCE COFHED IN CAMP-PERRIN HAS BEEN WORKING TO EXERT A POSITIVE IMPACT ON AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE COMMUNITIES. IN ORDER TO DO THIS, WE PRODUCED MANY SEEDLINGS IN OUR PLANT NURSERY THAT WE DISTRIBUTED TO COMMUNITY FARMERS AND RESIDENTS TO PLANT IN THEIR LIVING AND WORK ENVIRONMENT. AT THE SAME TIME, COFHED PLANTED MANY OF THESE SEEDLINGS ON OUR OWN PREMISES. WE FACED MANY DIFFICULTIES RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE THAT HIT US VERY HARD. HOWEVER, WE DEPLOYED A LOT OF ENERGY AND STRATEGY TO MOVE FORWARD ON OUR GOALS AND WE ENDED UP WITH A SATISFACTORY RESULT. TODAY, WE BEGIN TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THE PLANT SEEDLINGS THAT ARE GROWING ALONG WITH SOME CROPS THAT WERE PUT INTO THE GROUND. WE FOUND THAT THE SMALL TREES THAT WERE PLANTED MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT MORE BEAUTIFUL. THIS ENCOURAGES US TO CONTINUE PLANTING. IN FEBRUARY 2024 WE PLANTED 11 CANS OR 55 LBS OF BLACK BEANS (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS) AND WE HARVESTED 52 CANS OR 260 LBS IN MAY 2024.

SO, OUR ACTIVITIES DO NOT STOP, AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE DOING MORE THINGS IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND AGRICULTURE AREA. BECAUSE IT IS IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE FIND WHAT WE NEED, AND IT IS AGRICULTURE THAT SUSTAINS PLANT AND ANIMAL PRODUCTION, WHICH IS NECESSARY TO EVERYONE. THE ACTIONS OF COFHED IN THESE AREAS ARE VISIBLE BECAUSE WE NOTE THAT THE PLANT SEEDLINGS THAT ARE PLANTED ARE GROWING; THE ENVIRONMENT IS BECOMING GREENER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL; AND THE PLANTS ARE PRODUCING A GOOD YIELD REGULARLY, DESPITE THE NEGATIVE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTURE. OUR COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSIT SEED INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTURE (USITA) IN LES CAYES FROM DECEMBER 2023 TO MARCH 2024, FONDATION COFHED HATI WELCOMED FENER D, AN INTERN SPECIALIZING IN AGROFORESTRY AND VETERINARY SCIENCE FROM USITA. THROUGHOUT HIS INTERNSHIP, FENER ENGAGED IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING PLANT NURSERY MANAGEMENT, TRAINING SESSIONS, GARDEN DEMONSTRATION, AND SEEDLING DISTRIBUTION. HE PROVIDED VALUABLE SUPPORT TO NUMEROUS LOCAL FARMERS AND ASSISTED MANY BREEDERS IN THE VETERINARY SECTOR. HE SUPPORTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN CARING FOR 55 COWS, 338 SMALL RUMINANTS (GOATS AND SHEEP), 70 PIGS, 6 RABBITS, AND 4 CANINES (DOGS). AS PART OF THE MARSH GARDEN INITIATIVE, HE DISTRIBUTED A TOTAL OF 3,916 VEGETABLE SEEDLINGS OF DIFFERENT SPECIES TO RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITIES OF GATAN, PICOT, AND MATHURIN, ENHANCING THEIR PERSONAL GARDENING EXPERIENCES. OVERALL, FENER COMPLETED HIS INTERNSHIP AT COFHED WITH GREAT SUCCESS AND ENTHUSIASM, MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITIES HE SERVED AND EARNING THEIR WARM WELCOME. HE ALSO UTILIZED COFHED'S OWN AGROFORESTRY GARDEN TO FURTHER ENHANCE HIS OWN SKILLS. COMMUNITY-LED MICROCREDIT INITIATIVES MICROCREDIT ORGANIZATION OF ACTIVE WOMEN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOUGOU (MOFADEL) IS A FEMALE-LED MICROLENDING ENTERPRISE IN THE LOUGOU COMMUNITY. THE PERIOD FROM JULY 2023 TO JUNE 2024 REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT TIME FOR MOFADEL, AS IT RECEIVED THE MOST FUNDING ASSISTANCE IN QUITE A WHILE. THIS SUPPORT ENABLED ITS LEADERS TO MEET THE LOAN NEEDS OF A GREATER NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS, FOSTERING SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND STRENGTHENING FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITIES. A MEMORABLE EVENT ENGRAVED IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE FROM LOUGOU AND NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES WAS THE MOFADEL GENERAL ASSEMBLY HELD IN DECEMBER 2023. IT WAS TRULY A WONDERFUL OCCASION, DRAWING MANY VISITORS AND PROVIDING A WELCOME BREAK FROM STRESS, AS NOTED BY NUMEROUS ATTENDEES. THEY EVEN REQUESTED THAT WE DESIGNATE THIS CELEBRATION DATE AS THE LOUGOU COMMUNITY'S YEARLY FESTIVAL. ADDITIONALLY, DURING THIS EVENT, MOFADEL RECEIVED A SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM, WHICH WE VIEW AS A SIGNIFICANT BLESSING FROM GOD. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS BLESSING HAS POSITIVELY IMPACTED MANY HOUSEHOLDS, AS SEVERAL COMMUNITY CHALLENGES HAVE BEGUN TO EASE. BELOW IS A TABLE SUMMARIZING MOFADEL'S ACTIVITIES DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. AGRICULTURAL LOANS: TO PROMOTE GARDENING AMONG FAMILIES, MOFADEL HAS INCORPORATED THE AGRICULTURAL LOAN PROGRAM INTO ITS INITIATIVES SINCE 2021. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN POSITIVELY RECEIVED BY LOCAL FARMERS. FARMERS UNDERSTAND THAT IF THEY STOP PLANTING, EVEN WITH THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THEIR CROPS, THEY WILL STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES. THIS SITUATION IS PARTICULARLY DIRE FOR URBAN RESIDENTS, WHO HEAVILY RELY ON RURAL COMMUNITIES FOR THEIR FOOD SUPPLY. THE FAVORITE CROPS MOST FARMING FAMILIES LIKE TO INVEST IN ARE THE FOLLOWING: YAMS, BLACK BEANS, SWEET POTATO, CORN, CABBAGE, LEEKS, AND OTHERS. MANY TESTIMONIES FROM MEMBERS HIGHLIGHT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AGRICULTURAL LOAN PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES SEEKING TO ENHANCE THEIR FARMING EFFORTS. ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERNS FOR PARENTS ARISES WHEN THEIR CHILD CRIES, "I'M HUNGRY!" BY UTILIZING A MOFADEL FARM LOAN, FAMILIES CAN BOOST THEIR PRODUCTIVITY, ENSURING NOT ONLY SUFFICIENT FOOD AT HOME BUT ALSO A SURPLUS TO SELL IN THE OPEN MARKET. NEW COMMUNITY AGRICULTURAL LOANS WERE GIVEN THROUGHOUT 2024 TO 97 WOMEN IN NAVARRE, ACQUIER, BALIZ, RAYMOND, PICOT, GARATTE, LOUGOU, DUVEZIN AND MARC AVERAGING $150.00 USD EACH. MICROCREDIT ACITIVITES MOFADEL 615 MEMBERS: - 350 WOMEN - 232 MEN - 33 ASSOCIATIONS 251 TOTAL LOANS OF WHICH 180 LOANS TO WOMEN AND 128 SMALL FARM LOANS MUTUAL GROUPS IN GARATTE COMMUNITY GARATTE COMMUNITY HAS SEVEN MICROCREDIT MUTUAL GROUPS NAMES: -THINGS MUST CHANGES -FRATERNITY -UNITY -HEAD TOGETHER -UNION -HOPE -SMALL SNACK 213 MEMBERS: -137 WOMEN -76 MEN TWENTY-SIX (26) WOMEN RECEIVED NEW LOANS IN THIS FISCAL YEAR TO INCREASE THEIR ECONOMIC LIVELIHOODS. THE AVERAGE LOAN IS $150.00 USD. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES INCLUDE LIVESTOCK BREEDING, FARMING, FOOD AND HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES, MEAT PRODUCTS, VEGETABLES, HEALTH AND BEAUTY. "ALL THE WOMEN WHO GOT LOANS IN PICOT ARE FARMERS. SOME OF US PLANT FAR UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, OTHERS LIKE ME PLANT NEAR OUR HOMES. MY GARDEN IS BEAUTIFUL. IN MY GARDEN, I PLANTED YELLOW YAMS, BLACK EYE PEAS, PIGEON PEAS, LIMA BEANS AND A LITTLE CORN. SOME OF MY LIMA BEANS ARE READY, I HAVE COOKED SOME ALREADY. I ENCOURAGE MY FELLOW MUTUAL MEMBERS TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEIR GARDENS SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE A GOOD HARVEST. I WILL START REPAYING MY LOANS IN SEPTEMBER 2024." A M B, PICOT COMMUNITY COMMUNITY LIVESTOCK BREEDING IN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE COFHED OPERATES, RESIDENTS HAVE A DEEP PASSION FOR FARMING AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, MAKING THESE ACTIVITIES CENTRAL TO THEIR ECONOMY. MANY YOUNG INDIVIDUALS ARE ABLE TO COMPLETE THEIR STUDIES AND ATTEND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS, LARGELY DUE TO THE AGRICULTURAL AND LIVESTOCK EFFORTS OF THEIR FAMILIES. THE ANIMALS THAT ARE FAVORED BY THESE COMMUNITIES INCLUDE GOATS, SHEEP, PIGS, COWS, RABBITS, AND CHICKENS. THIS INITIATIVE IS GREATLY VALUED BY ALL BENEFICIARIES, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE THE MOST MARGINALIZED WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES. WHEN A FAMILY OWNS ONE OF THESE ANIMALS, IT IS REGARDED AS A FINANCIAL ASSET, AKIN TO HAVING A BANK DEPOSIT. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED 206 GOATS AND 100 SHEEP, 4 COWS AND 24 PAIRS OF RABBITS. COMMUNITIES PLAN TO PURCHASE MORE ANIMALS WITH THEIR REMAINING FUNDS. THE COMMUNITY RABBIT PROJECT THE RABBIT PROJECT IS POPULAR WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN. RAISING RABBITS OFFERS CHILDREN THE CHANCE TO LEARN RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH CARING FOR THEIR ANIMALS. GIVEN THEIR NATURAL ABILITY TO REPRODUCE QUICKLY, RABBITS ALLOW FAMILIES TO GENERATE INCOME IN A SHORT PERIOD. THIS CAN SERVE AS A SAFETY NET, OFFERING ESSENTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO RURAL HOUSEHOLDS DURING TOUGH TIMES. FOR EXAMPLE, SELLING A RABBIT OR A PAIR CAN COVER A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF A STUDENT'S SCHOOL TUITION. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE PROGRAM, WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED SEVENTY-EIGHT (78) PAIRS OF RABBITS, ALONG WITH PROPER CAGES FOR THEIR SAFETY AND BREEDING. THE FAMILIES BENEFITING FROM THIS INITIATIVE ARE RESIDENTS OF THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITIES: RAYMOND, NAVARRE, LOUGOU, GUILLAUME, MARC, ACQUIER, GARATTE, BALIZ, AND DUVEZIN. BEEKEEPING PILOT PROJECT COFHED IN HAITI IS MULTIPLYING ITS ACTIONS IN ITS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ENGAGEMENT WORK IN MANY ENGAGED COMMUNITIES IN THE COMMUNE OF CAMP-PERRIN. IN ORDER TO SPUR REVENUE GENERATION AND TO INVITE COMMUNITIES TO ADOPT PROMISING FARMING PRACTICES OTHER THAN WHAT THE VILLAGERS ARE USED TO, COFHED IS WORKING TO IMPLEMENT A PILOT PROJECT IN THE AREA OF BEEKEEPING. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PRODUCE HONEY TO SELL ON THE REGIONAL AND NATIONAL MARKET, BUT ALSO TO ENCOURAGE THE FARMERS TO PRODUCE HONEY WHICH CAN HELP THEM ECONOMICALLY AS WELL AS FROM A HEALTH STANDPOINT. IN THE PREPARATION STAGE FOR OUR BEEKEEPING PROJECT, OUR PILOT SPACE CURRENTLY INCLUDES: - 133 OLIVE TREES, WITH 15.03% ALREADY MATURE - 73 MATURE CAMPCHE (LOGWOOD) TREES - 97 CITRUS TREES, WHICH TAKE ABOUT 5 TO 6 YEARS TO MATURE - 38 MATURE EDIBLE PLANTS - 48 RIPE PAPAYAS - 11 LAWYER TREES - 11 MAHOGANY TREES, 5 OF WHICH ARE MATURE - 10 MATURE CASSIA TREES - ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE 432 GLIRICIDIA SEEDS IN THE GERMINATION PHASE AND 360 OLIVE SEEDS SOWN IN THE NURSERY. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A ACCORDING TO OUR STAFF AGRONOMIST MEMEUS AND AGROTECHNICIAN ANDRE, IN THE SPAN OF 18 MONTHS THE SPACE FOR BEEKEEPING WILL BE READY TO START RECEIVING THE RICH BEES BECAUSE WE WILL ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH OLIVES, GLIRICIDIA PLUS ALL THE PLANTS THAT WILL BE READY TO PRODUCE FLOWERS SO THAT THE BEES CAN START COMING AND PRODUCING HONEY. COMMUNITY-LED EDUCATION IMPACT PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE OFTEN THE ONLY EDUCATIONAL OPTION FOR MANY PARENTS DUE TO THE LACK OF AFFORDABLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR STUDENTS. EACH YEAR, PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS INCREASE THEIR TUITION FEES, MAKING IT CHALLENGING FOR NUMEROUS CHILDREN AND YOUTH TO ATTEND SCHOOL CONSISTENTLY BECAUSE OF THEIR FAMILIES' FINANCIAL STRUGGLES. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, ESCALATING LIVING COSTS, EXACERBATED BY THE COUNTRY'S INSTABILITY, HAVE INFLATED THE PRICE OF ESSENTIAL GOODS. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT ISSUE HAS BEEN POOR HARVEST CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. FARMING SERVES AS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME FOR MOST FAMILIES TO COVER SCHOOL FEES. THE LOSS OF CROPS SEVERELY AFFECTS THE FINANCIAL STABILITY OF MANY HOUSEHOLDS, RESULTING IN CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL WITHOUT THE NECESSARY SUPPLIES, WHICH ULTIMATELY HAMPERS THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS. THE LOUGOU AND RAYMOND COMMUNITIES HAVE A SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IN THEIR SCHOOLS THAT TAKES CARE OF TUITION FEES AND SUPPLIES AND COVERS BASIC HEALTH ISSUES FOR SPONSORED STUDENTS. THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM COMPENSATES 31 TEACHERS, 13 SUPPORT STAFF AND PROVIDES SCHOOL LUNCHES FOR ALL CHILDREN, REGARDLESS OF SPONSORSHIP. IN TOTAL, 599 STUDENTS FROM PRESCHOOL THROUGH 6TH GRADE ARE ENROLLED IN THESE SCHOOLS AND 66 STUDENTS IN GRADE SEVEN TO TWELVE ATTEND SCHOOL ELSEWHERE. IN RESPONSE TO THESE PRESSING NEEDS, COFHED HAS ONCE AGAIN EXTENDED ITS SUPPORT TO THESE COMMUNITIES BY ASSISTING NUMEROUS PARENTS AND STUDENTS WITH THEIR EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES. THIS YEAR, THE AVERAGE ANNUAL TUITION FOR STUDENTS IN NS4 (TWELVE GRADE) IS AROUND 60,000 HAITIAN GOURDES OR $460.00 USD IN OUR AREA, AND COLLEGE TUITION IS AROUND 150,000 HAITIAN GOURDES OR $1,153.00 USD. THE STUDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR HEARTFELT APPRECIATION FOR THE TIMELY SUPPORT PROVIDED BY COFHED DURING THESE CHALLENGING TIMES. YOUR INVESTMENT SUPPORTS 159 PRIMARY AND SECONDARY STUDENTS WITH SCHOOL FEES AND 28 UNIVERSITY AND PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS FROM OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. "I AM CURRENTLY IN NINTH GRADE AND I AM TRULY GRATEFUL TO COFHED FOR THE ASSISTANCE THEY PROVIDED ME WITH REGARDING MY EDUCATION. EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE SCHOOL AUTHORITIES HAD SENT ME HOME DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS. IT WAS THANKS TO YOUR SUPPORT THAT I COULD RETURN TO SCHOOL AND SIT IN THE CLASSROOM FOR THE DECEMBER EXAMS. I AM DEEPLY APPRECIATIVE OF THIS HELP". DJ, STUDENT. "I RESIDE IN THE PICOT COMMUNITY AND AM A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL. RECEIVING YOUR KIND GESTURE BROUGHT ME IMMENSE JOY. WHAT TOUCHED ME THE MOST WAS THAT I HAD NO ONE IN MIND TO TURN TO FOR SUCH A FAVOR, YET YOU THOUGHT OF ME. WORDS FAIL TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE ADEQUATELY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COFHED. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU, ASKING GOD TO BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY AND PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU TO ASSIST OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE ME IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY. MAY GOD BLESS AND WATCH OVER YOU." MHL, STUDENT. COMMUNITY-LED HEALTH IMPACT -300 WOMEN RECEIVED CONTRACEPTION SERVICES -602 CHILDREN UNDERWENT WELL-CHILD CHECKUPS -301 CHILDREN WERE PROVIDED WITH DEWORMING TREATMENT -9 WOMEN SUCCESSFULLY GAVE BIRTH TO HEALTHY BABIES -580 ADULTS RECEIVED MEDICAL CARE AT THE CLINIC -357 FAMILIES SEEN DURING HOME HEALTH VISITS CONDUCTED IN GUILLAUME, DUVEZIN, MARC, PICOT RAYMOND, GRANDOU, NAVARRE, AND MAHOTIRE -PROVIDED MEDICATIONS TO 208 INDIVIDUALS DURING THESE VISITS COMMUNITY LATRINE PROJECT BUILDING A LATRINE STILL REMAINS A CHALLENGE FOR MANY FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITIES. WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT A GOOD ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF NOT HAVING LATRINES FOR HOUSEHOLDS. FOR THIS REASON, COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE EMBRACED THIS PROJECT WITH ALL THEIR STRENGTH DESPITE VERY LIMITED RESOURCES. AS WE CONTINUE TO RAISE AWARENESS AMONG FAMILIES TO ACT, COFHED STAFF IN HATI AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE SUPPORTING THEM WITH THE FUNDS RECEIVED FOR THAT PURPOSE. FOR THE YEAR 2023-24, THE COMMUNITY LEADERS, TOGETHER WITH THE SUPPORT OF COFHED, PLANNED TO BUILD 10 LATRINES IN THE COMMUNITIES. DESPITE THE OBSTACLES, EXPENSIVE MATERIALS, THEY MANAGED TO BUILD 8 LATRINES. AMONG THE EIGHT, TWO WERE BUILT IN THE COMMUNITY OF RAYMOND AND FIVE IN THE COMMUNITY OF LOUGOU. CHRISTMAS AND EASTER FOOD BASKETS DISTRIBUTION IN 2023-2024, COUNTLESS HAITIAN FAMILIES CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH FOOD INSECURITY. IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, FOOD HAS BECOME A LUXURY, AND NUMEROUS FAMILIES FACE THE SAME CHALLENGE. THE ONGOING CRISIS HAS PLACED THEM IN AN EXTREMELY TOUGH SITUATION. RESIDENTS OF PORT-AU-PRINCE, WHO ONCE SUPPORTED THEIR FAMILIES IN RURAL AREAS BY SENDING MONEY OR SUPPLIES, ARE NOW FACING THREATS FROM GANGS THAT HAVE DRIVEN MANY OF THEM AWAY. SOME INDIVIDUALS HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS, WHILE OTHERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FLEE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE, FEELING A SENSE OF DESPAIR. CONSEQUENTLY, THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES IN THE COUNTRYSIDE HAS INCREASED AND THEY HAVE BECOME MORE VULNERABLE. EASTER CELEBRATIONS WENT LARGELY UNNOTICED THIS YEAR, AS FOOD PRICES SOARED, AND CERTAIN PRODUCTS WERE SIMPLY UNAVAILABLE IN RURAL AREAS. COFHED MANAGED TO PROVIDE 294 FOOD BASKETS FOR EASTER IN 2024 AND 241 BASKETS WERE DISTRIBUTED FOR CHRISTMAS 2023 TO THE MOST VULNERABLE FAMILIES IN OUR PARTNER COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY CHILDREN CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION DECEMBER IS ALWAYS THE BUSIEST MONTH BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO CLEAN UP AND CHANGE SOME THINGS AT HOME. DURING THIS TIME, PEOPLE ALSO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS EVE; PEOPLE EAT A LOT OF PIGEON BEAN SAUCE WITH MILLET, YAMS, OR RICE. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF THESE TRADITIONS HAVE LOST THEIR VALUE BECAUSE OF THE INSECURITY THAT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM STAYING UP LATE AT NIGHT AND HAVING FUN TOGETHER, AND THOSE WHO ARE IN THE CAPITAL SIMPLY COULD COME AND SPEND CHRISTMAS AT HOME WITH THEIR FAMILIES. CHILDREN COULD PLAY WITH FIREWORKS ANYMORE. WELL, CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IN LOUGOU AND RAYMOND IS AN EVENT THAT ATTRACTS MANY CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM. SINCE IT IS CHRISTMAS, THE SPONSORED CHILDREN ALREADY KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE HAPPY BECAUSE THEIR GIFTS ARE ON THE WAY. EVERY YEAR IT GETS HARDER AND HARDER TO SHOP FOR OVER 500 CHILDREN. WE FACED MANY DIFFICULTIES BUYING GIFTS THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE INSECURITY CRISIS; MERCHANDISE WAS NOT ABLE TO ENTER THE SOUTHERN DEPARTMENT OF THE COUNTRY WITH EASE. STILL, WE WERE ABLE TO FIND SOME GIFTS THAT THE CHILDREN WERE HAPPY WITH. OVERALL, ALL OF THE PACKAGES WERE PRESENTED AS SUCH: - FOR GIRLS: 2 SOAP BARS, 1 DEODORANT, 1 BODY LOTION, 1 HAIR POMADE, 2 TOOTHBRUSHES, 1 TOOTHPASTE, 2 PANTIES, 1 SKIRT OR 1 BOWL SET. - FOR OLDER GIRLS: 2 SOAP BARS, 1 DEODORANT, 1 BODY LOTION, 2 TOOTHBRUSHES, 1 TOOTHPASTE, 2 PANTIES, 1 PACK OF PADS, 1 DENIM DRESS OR 1 FOOD THERMOS. - OLDER BOYS: 2 SOAP BARS, 1 DEODORANT, 1 BODY LOTION, 2 TOOTHBRUSHES, 1 TOOTHPASTE, 1 SHAMPOO, 2 BOXERS, 1 T-SHIRT. - LITTLE BOYS: 2 SOAP BARS, 1 DEODORANT, 1 BODY LOTION, 2 TOOTHBRUSHES, 1 TOOTHPASTE, 1 SHAMPOO, 1 T-SHIRT OR SHIRT OR 1 PAIR OF PANTS. THE FOOD MENU FOR THE CELEBRATION WAS RICE AND PIGEON BEANS SAUCE, MACARONI SALAD, CHICKEN, AND NATURAL JUICE. THE UNSPONSORED CHILDREN WERE ALSO HAPPY TO BE PART OF THE CELEBRATION AND MANY OF THEM WERE GRATEFUL TO RECEIVE A TOILETRY KIT. ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW EXCITED PEOPLE ARE AT THIS FESTIVE TIME. WE HOPE THAT NEXT YEAR WE WILL FIND SUFFICIENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO MAKE A MORE MEANINGFUL GESTURE TO THE CHILDREN WHO ARE PART OF THE PROGRAM. COMMUNITY HOUSING CONSTRUCTION LOUGOU'S VERY OWN AND SINGLE ENGINEER, JACQUES, HAS CONSTRUCTED A HOUSE FOR A FAMILY IN LOUGOU. IN RURAL AREAS OF HAITI, WHERE COFHED COLLABORATES, MANY FAMILIES FACE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES IN BUILDING A TWO-ROOM HOUSE. OFTEN, THIS STRUGGLE ARISES NOT ONLY FROM THE HIGH TRANSPORTATION COSTS DUE TO POOR ROAD CONDITIONS BUT ALSO FROM THE EXPENSIVE MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CONSTRUCTION. FOLLOWING THE EARTHQUAKE OF AUGUST 14, 2021, THE FAMILY HAD BEEN RESIDING IN A SHELTER MADE OF METAL SCRAPS AND ENCLOSED BY TARPAULIN. EACH TIME IT RAINED, IT BECAME A DISASTER FOR THE FAMILY, AS THE SHELTER LEAKED AND WAS IN POOR CONDITION. THE COUPLE HAS NINE CHILDREN. CURRENTLY, ELEVEN PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN THE HOUSE. AMONG THEM, SIX ARE HER GRANDCHILDREN. THIS HOUSE IS A VICTORY FOR THE LOUGOU FAMILY.
