Four areas of action behind every job we create
Farm work opportunities, training and support for young people aged 16-25. Every participant is placed on a partner farm with a steady wage, meals included and a certification on completion. Employment is not a promise, it is the starting point. The diaspora can sponsor a campus and put a young person to work directly.
Technical farming skills, cooperative management, simple bookkeeping, local marketing. Training young people who understand their economic activity from end to end ... from the soil to the sale. Technique without management does not create independence.
Personal growth, conflict resolution, community leadership. We train whole citizens, not just workers. A young person who knows how to handle a conflict is more productive than a technician who cannot work as part of a team.
Members of the cooperative become collective owners of the outputs. Food for everyone, shared income, collective assets. The difference between an aid program and an economic model is that the model belongs to those who keep it alive.
KONKRET began here in the North. Today the network runs 25 sites across 10 departments. See the full network →
The birthplace of KONKRET. It was in Dubre, Milot, that the first pilot program was launched. Grand Bassin is the active site of the SAKALA 2026 program.
The second expansion area. The Milot cooperative model was adapted to the farming and community realities of Trou-du-Nord.
The third active area, launched at the same time as Trou-du-Nord. Limonade rounds out the North network with its own farming momentum and its own partners.
The SAKALA program, in partnership with BARSS, represents the culmination of the KONKRET cooperative model. 15 young people, 21 acres, 8 weeks, Grand Bassin, Milot.
SAKALA is not a food-aid program. It is a demonstration that Haitian agriculture can be productive, organized and economically viable when it is led by and for local communities.
The Summer 2026 program is the first concrete phase of a model meant to support 50,000 electricity connections in the Milot region in partnership with BARSS. Want to help? Sponsor a campus.
