Donor gifts already power practical, Haitian‑led projects that deliver measurable results.
The Haitian Development Network Foundation is a 501c3 non profit organization where you can to donate to help the people of Haiti.
HDNF has multiple projects in the works for helping Haiti, including: seeds and poultry for immediate nutrition and cashflow, community savings & loans for fair, local credit, biogas for clean cooking and farm fertilizer, and a development project for jobs‑creating infrastructure.
A $68,000 effort providing seeds, agronomist supervision, basic tools, transport, and labor—≈$136 per farmer—with participants returning seeds at season’s end to strengthen local seed security. Planting runs Nov–Mar with ~3‑month harvests (often two harvests in a season).
A $56,000 project — ≈$112 per family—with a breeding pair, feed, vaccinations, vet follow‑up, a simple shelter, and required training; families “pay it forward” by returning a rooster and hen.
In Jean Rabel, community loan groups emerged because credit unions charged ~5% monthly—forcing small traders out. Groups cap interest at ≤2% and follow strict rules. The HDNF pilot at Siloé Church serves 63 active members and needs $45,000 to revolve loans at 2%/month (1% to HDNF, 1% to national administration), with collateral, public approvals, and quarterly reports.
The current phase requires $360,000, which will support 47 households and 3 institutions, replacing wood/kerosene with clean cooking gas, cutting costs and smoke exposure, and producing bio‑fertilizer that boosts yields—benefits that particularly help women and girls.
This $1.7 million multi-year initiative will transform Northwest Haiti by combining vital transportation upgrades with new economic infrastructure. The first phase focuses on completing the airstrip and improving roads at a cost of $400,000, which covers 60 days of fuel, food and per diems for a 25-person crew, heavy equipment repairs, and the application of Permazyme road stabilizer. The second phase invests $1.3 million in economic growth through the construction of trading facilities, production facilities, and the acquisition of modern production equipment. Together, these projects will break the region’s isolation, open access to markets, create hundreds of jobs, and drive sustainable growth for the next 5–10 years.
