Problem: 2.4 Million Tons of Waste Generated Annually in Haiti and only 12% is currently being collected, but we have a solution!
Mission:
Blok Pam is a community-led environmental restoration and livelihood initiative based in Ouanaminthe, designed to heal ecosystems while creating dignified local jobs and opportunities—especially for youth.
The project addresses urgent environmental and economic challenges through locally owned systems that reduce waste, improve environmental health, and strengthen cross-border cooperation with the Dominican Republic.
Vision :
We envision a future for Haiti that restores true sovereignty, honors and preserves cultural identity, and propels the nation forward through modern, innovative technologies and systems. This future delivers culturally rich experiences, protects and restores natural ecosystems—including oceans and waterways—and inspires the world through resilience, creativity, and leadership.
