Haiti will be the first country in the Caribbean to benefit from this reforestation program, which aims to create thousands of jobs and provide the country with means of income, since wood and fruit trees are planted for sale. This program seeks to address two issues : rural poverty and environmental degradation. Thus, its objectives are to save the countryside, reactivate the local economy and regenerate the social fabric in the communities.
On behalf of Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, Laura Elena Carrillo presented the plan of the Government López Obrador to bring the "Sembrando Vida" program.
Initially (pilot phase), the Program will serve 5,000 Haitians.
