SOIL promotes dignity, health, and sustainable livelihoods through the transformation of wastes into
resources.
Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods
Haiti’s debt to France: $27.1 billion
Years it took to pay off: Over 100
The consequence?Massive social and ecological damage
Sustainably Increasing Access to Sanitation
SOIL’s EkoLakay social business pilot is now providing household sanitation services to
over 2,500 peoplewith plans to expand
to over 7,000 people in the next year.
Waste Transformation
SOIL’s two waste treatment facilities transform
human waste into more than 150,000 gallons of safe, organic, agriculture-grade compost each year
Improving Public Health
Perhaps human waste, the cause of so many problems for Haiti, could actually be one of its saving graces thanks to the hard work of SOIL…” – International Political Forum, August 20, 2013
Working with students, gardeners, community groups, reforestation projects, churches, and others, SOIL is planting seedlings nourished with SOIL compost all over the country - ensuring that together we are growing a stronger, more
vibrant Haiti.
Nourishing Hope
Sowing the Seeds
SOIL’s agronomy interns promote the sustainable farming methods they learn at SOIL
around the country.
Creating a Sustainable Solution
SOIL’s innovative focus on social business development has the potential to vastly expand
global sanitation access in an affordable, sustainable way, while
creating new jobs and livelihoods.
Exponential Impact
In 2013-2014, SOIL shared information with over 11,000 people, from our neighbors in Cite Soleil to Peace Corps volunteers in Kyrgyzstan. We know that when more people are empowered through education, we can accelerate change in Haiti and in communities around the world.
