Seed Packaging
We are re-packaging bulk vegetable seeds in smaller sizes in Miami for distribution in SW Haiti, where Hurricane Matthew has destroyed most crops. The 2 current batches are enough seeds for nearly 50,000 people to feed themselves.  For more info about the program, click here.

Seed Leader Training
Participants will learn UPG’s Packaging Production Techniques by doing seed packaging. Then there will be Team Leadership Training to prepare them to lead Volunteers during a big corporate events. Experienced Seed Leaders will share their knowledge.

More ABOUT Seeds For Haiti

Seeds for Haiti is part of the UPG Seeds of Paradise Program.

These vegetable seeds are Heirloom or Open Pollinated seeds (not GMO and not Hybrid), so the farmers can save their seeds and replant them. The seed types are vegetables requested by people in Haiti, customary foods.
