December 1 is #GivingTuesday. Please give generously on that day to support our Solar Cooker and Biogas projects in Haiti.
In the photos above students at Université Notre Dame d'Haiti at Hinche show off the solar cookers and model bio-digesters they built as homework in the course PPAF supports - the first of its kind in Haiti. The course will help students to learn and to spread clean cooking and to help families save money and protect their health, through eliminating the noxious daily use of charcoal.
PLEASE GIVE ON TUESDAY USING THIS LINK: GlobalGiving is providing bonuses to projects that receive funds on December 1. https://www.globalgiving.org/…/tracking-clean-cookstoves-a…/
PPAF presentation at the United Nations
On July 8, in an online program at the United Nations, PPAF highlighted recent work at the university and the children’s center we support in Haiti. This was a virtual seminar on solar cooking as a transformative technology for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It was held as part of the annual UN High Level Political Forum, which this year has had to be all online. The seminar was a collaboration among Solar Cookers International, the Haitian hometown association KDCK and PPAF.
As a result, PPAF already has requests for more solar cookers for the students. For a quick review of the PPAF presentation, please see the attached PDF.

Fighting COVID-19 --
Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Madagascar Our foundation aims to do what we can in each of our three focus countries to help in the battle against COVID-19, the terrible pandemic. Click here to join us. We have given project support to a public medical clinic at the University Notre Dame d'Haiti in Hinche, Haiti, to sewing and cooking classes at the Art Creation Foundation for Children in Jacmel, Haiti, to the community medical center of the Association for the Development of San Cristobal in the Dominican Republic, and to the staff and community organizers of the environmental protection nonprofit FANAMBY in Madagascar. We have also assisted the Haiti Adolescent Girls Network. In the case of the ACFFC in Jacmel, the cooking classes have shifted to preparing cornbread, rice or beans on solar cookers, both to help feed the children who stop by during quarantine and to reduce the need for pricey propane. The sewing classes have shifted to making face masks out of dress fabric, to give to the children, their families and their neighbors. PPAF has long-standing relations in each of these countries. We will continue to help as resources become available. Please donate here. |

Our History |
|
PPAF was established in 2007 as an outgrowth of the UN Public-Private Alliance for Rural Development and the interest of ambassadors to the UN from Madagascar, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
PPAF has worked with dozens of organizations, businesses and government representatives in these focus countries and in the UN and related institutions. Since the 2010 Haiti earthquake we have focused our work on Haiti. |
Our Strategy
|
Special attention goes to efforts to overcome the poverty-respiratory disease-deforestation trap of Haitian families' heavy reliance on charcoal for cooking.
PPAF works with many Haitian and U.S.-based collaborators. Together we support teaching and fieldwork on cooking with solar and biogas and for support to the young entrepreneurs program of a children's center. PPAF links with the UN Economic & Social Council, the UN Department of Global Communication, the UN Global Compact and others. |
