Helping Heifer REACH Haiti
Nancy Bauer and Kristi York Wooten, along with Kate Merrill and Lexi Fields, announced a new fundraising and awareness event for Sustenance Group partner Heifer International’s REACH program, in conjunction with an ongoing educational programming commitment for private schools in Atlanta.
Rural Entrepreneurs for Agricultural Cooperation in Haiti (REACH) is a five-year, $18.7 million commitment to rebuild rural communities and improve economic opportunities in Haiti. An integrated crop-livestock project, REACH will help more than 20,000 vulnerable rural families on a number of fronts including job creation, income generation, skills training and disaster preparedness.
