Legendary folk singer Pete Seeger is calling for support of GBM’s long-term partnership with the Lambi Fund of Haiti. He is asking individuals around the world who are interested in the rebuilding and sustainable development of Haitian communities to contribute to GBM’s Haiti Fund.

These funds will benefit our unique Global South partnership in which members of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya and grassroots leaders supported by the Lambi Fund of Haiti support each other with indigenous wisdom, peer exchanges, and join collaborations to reforest their countries. These efforts will have a lasting impact in the sustainable rebuilding of Haiti in the aftermath of the January 12th earthquake.

We are truly grateful for Pete Seeger’s support!



Be sure to check back on our website soon for updates on GBM’s partnership in Haiti!

Donations to support GBM’s partnership with the Lambi Fund of Haiti are accepted online and by mail. Please send an email to gbmius@greenbeltmovement.org to let us know that your gift is for the Haiti Fund.

Thank you!

    Rebuilding Haiti won't be very easy but it won't be impossible either. Haiti's current economic and political situation make it harder for international communities to make a great impact the shortest time possible to the lives of Haitians.
