Make a donation to help SHI win the $10,000 March Goodness Challenge! The organization with the most donor supporters this March will win grants of $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, and $10,000! A grant of $10,000 would support our programs in two villages this year.

Since 1997, SHI has worked with more than 1,800 families and over 2,120 students in 50 schools throughout Honduras, Panama, Belize and Nicaragua implementing alternatives to slash-and-burn farming, the leading cause of rainforest destruction in the region. Working with local field personnel trained by SHI, our participants have:

* Planted more than 2,300,000 trees.
* Converted more than 9,000 acres to sustainable uses, thereby saving over 45,000 acres from slash-and-burn destruction.
* Improved nutrition through the establishment of more than 4,700 organic vegetable gardens.
* Increased farm income up to 800%.
* Built more than 750 wood-conserving stoves (saving 7,500 trees per year)

Sustainable Harvest International is truly making an impact on the global issues of poverty and deforestation. With your support we can do so much more!
