Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods

Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL) is a 501(c)3 US-based non-profit organization dedicated to protecting soil resources, empowering communities and transforming wastes into resources in Haiti. SOIL promotes integrated approaches to the problems of poverty, poor public health, agricultural productivity, and environmental destruction.

EcoSan simultaneously tackles some of Haiti’s toughest challenges – providing improved sanitation to millions of people who would otherwise have no access to a toilet and producing thousands of gallons of fertilizer a week which is critical for agriculture and reforestation.
