The Soil Project

SOIL is an acronym for Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods, a U.S. non-profit organization working in Haiti. SOIL promotes dignity, health and sustainable livelihoods through the transformation of wastes into resources.

What SOIL provides:

• Provides compost toilets in public places and private homes…
• Enriches depleted soil by treating human waste and using it for compost…
• Aids agriculture, forestation, public health…
• Keeps Haiti’s water from pollution…
• Increases jobs by employing local Haitians
• Hosts sustainable agricultural internships for Haitian agronomy students

The many-faceted benefits of SOIL’s approach to Haiti’s sanitation problems are impressive and effective. Grey Nuns are eager to bring attention and support to SOIL’s good work. Grey Nun Sister Mary Finnick, who spent the past decade in Haiti, is a director on the Board of SOIL.
