The four surveyed TapTaps are the front of a network we have been building since 2003. Here is the rest of it... what is working today, what is ready to restart, and the micro-industries waiting on a host and a sponsor.
← Back to the four surveyed TapTapsTwo clusters lead the network... three TapTaps in the Nord, one in Grand'Anse. The rest fan out across ten departments.
Ten TapTaps are working today across ten departments, 160 youth in all. Beyond the four surveyed TapTaps, here are the rest... each ready to take on a sponsor and grow its cohort.
Strong nursery capacity, moringa and masketi. Regional hub potential.
Largest active TapTap, medicinal plants with the SONJE AYITI NGO, next to the Henry Christophe TapTap. Natural home for the distillery.
Moringa and masketi, near the Henry Christophe university TapTap.
Institutional partner on the Cap-Haïtien corridor. Processing-hub candidate.
Headquarters. Moringa and medicinal plants. Dan's 20-year community trust base.
Moringa nursery. Networks with HQ for shared processing.
A priest farming two hundred acres, already running honey and cassava. Returning youth need a reason to stay. Awaiting GPS survey.
Trained youth, staff, pens and stock ready. Paused only because its last funding ended... the fastest to restart.
Fifteen more TapTaps went dormant when funding lapsed... proven community ties and youth networks, ready to restart at a fraction of greenfield cost.

TapTaps that don't exist yet... but the model does. Each is a worked-out micro-industry waiting on a host to run it and a sponsor to fund the first cohort.
A premium Haitian botanical spirit, distilled small-batch and bottled for the export shelf. The high-margin signature item that anchors the future box.
Fast-growing bamboo for construction, craft, and erosion control, working the very grounds it restores.
The knowledge-products arm... the network's own research and story as printed and digital goods that pay for themselves.
See the model →Youth on every TapTap gather the ground-truth data no one else can reach... yields, prices, soil, weather. The network sells the research; the youth get paid for the data.
See the model →Haitian art and craft as both dignity and income. The work that makes "from Haiti" a selling point instead of a liability.
See the model →Ecological-sanitation compost, with partner SOIL: manure in, compost out. The soil that feeds every other TapTap.
