This document discusses implementing sustainable projects at a school in Haiti to address issues like deforestation, sanitation, and food security. It proposes installing pyrolytic stoves to reduce smoke, developing organic gardens to grow food and teach skills, and implementing dry eco-sanitation toilets for hygienic waste disposal. The projects aim to provide appropriate technology solutions, restore the local environment, and serve as examples for surrounding communities.

10. Charcoal at the market

11. Pyrolytic Stove Solutions Eliminates most smoke and CO (healthy cooking environment) Can burn almost any dry biomass (inexpensive & eliminates need for wood/deforestation) Can produce valuable by-product/income stream: bio-char Carbon negative Possible small businesses fabricating pyrolytic stoves Working with WorldStove President

14. Organic Kitchen/Demonstration Garden(s) and Composting Collaboration between local farmers and school Teach children / parents how to grow nutritious organic food sustainably Grow food for School Lunch Program Need to clear space(s) for kitchen garden(s) and composting bins (food forest landscape) Trial, Demonstration and Instructional Garden (farmers, school and community) Teach science and sustainability through garden concepts
