IN ADDITION, THE MEMBERS UTLIZED FUNDS TO PURCHASE MEDICAL SUPPLIES FOR PREVENTING AND TREATING THE MOST COMMON DISEASES, TYPICALLY, EXPERIENCED AMONGST THE GOATS AND SHEEP. AS A RESULT, THE MEMBERS EXPERIENCED VERY MINIMAL LOSS OF THEIR LIVESTOCK. HENCE, THEIR LIVESTOCK SUCCESSFULLY MULTIPLED WHICH ALLOWS THE MEMBERS TO EXPAND AND ADD NEW MEMBERS. -FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENTALTERNATIVE ECONOMYIN 2024, LAMBI FUND OF HAITI SUPPORTED WOMENS AUTONOMY IN CREATING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES.

THEREFORE, NATURAL DISASTERS ARE BOTH UNAVOIDABLE AND INEVITABLE.DUE TO THE LACK OF FUNDING, LAMBI FUND OF HAITI ASSISTED 1 ORGANIZATION TO REBUILD THEIR FARMS/ GARDENS. THE FUNDS WERE USED TO BUY SEEDLINGS, TOOLS, AND OTHER FARMING ESSENTIALS. RECOVERY TIME VARIES AND, OFTENTIMES, GRADUAL. THE COUNTRYS OVERALL LACK OF RESOURCES AND POLITICAL UNREST CONTRIBUTES TO THE GRADUAL RECOVERY PROCESS TIMEFRAME. AS A RESULT, THOSE AFFECTED ARE RARELY FULLY RESTORED BUT THE AID HELPS FARMERS/MEMBERS OF THESE PEASANT ORGANIZATIONS RETURN TO ITS OPERATION. -FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D FOURTH ACCOMPLISHMENTENVIRONMENTFUNDING HAS CONTINUED TO DECLINE IN 2024.

ALSO, THE MEMBERS OF THE PEASANT ORGANIZATIONS CONTINUE TO REMINDS THEIR COMMUNITIES OF THE NEED TO PROTECT THE HECTARES OF LAND THAT HAS BEEN REFORESTED.
