FRUIT TREES
FRUIT TREES
In our land of plenty, filled with
beautiful, protected landscapes and
an abundance of food, it’s easy to
forget the integral role that trees
play. While we tend to think of trees
and plants in an ornamental or
aesthetic sense, they provide lifegiving nutrition, clean the air and
help prevent natural disasters.
In Haiti, pervasive deforestation continues to create a multidimensional catastrophe. The unabated cutting down of trees
creates a multitude of environmental issues and leaves Haiti’s
children without readily available sources of nutrition.
The good news is that a gift of fruit trees can help repair the
damage of deforestation, while offering destitute families a direct
path to a sustainable source of income and nutrition. The provision
of fruit trees can help turn barren, bleak communities into fruitful,
productive beacons of hope. As the trees grow, poor families will
be able to access better nutrition and sell the surplus fruits or
vegetables in the local market.
By joining, initiating or supporting a Students For The Poor
chapter, you'll be part of an interactive group that will not only
alleviate hunger, but provide destitute families with invaluable hope.
Your chapter can help fund programs that allow poverty-stricken
communities to become more self-sufficient and empowered to
create a lasting change.
