SOW A SEED is a non-profit organization created by a group of young professionals to provide the basic fundamentals such as education, nutrition and healthcare for disadvantaged children living in extreme poverty in Haiti.

What we do
Sow a Seed works in assisting struggling orphanages in impoverished areas to attain their goal in bringing children the everyday essentials we all-too-often take for granted; food, shelter, education and healthcare.

Haiti As One H20 Relief
Because we believe in hope and because we also believe it is the moral imperative of the fortunate to reach out to those most in need. Sow a Seed encourages all to harness the power of hope as we work to promote dignity and integrity in those we aid, and in ourselves.

The vital seeds of life are food, shelter, healthcare and education. With the assistance of donors, volunteers, charitable organizations, churches and businesses, Sow a Seed strives to embed these seeds into the lives of the less fortunate. From a single seed, no matter how small, planted with care and with joined hands, a new life will grow. The seed for a better tomorrow lies in your heart.

Our mission is to be a vehicle for all who wish to foster development in Haiti’s youth.


Areas Served: La Plaine, Bon Repos, Lillavois and Clercine

SOW A SEED HAITI RELIEF COLLECTIONS HAVE ARRIVED AND ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED IN PORT-AU-PRINCE
SAS Volunteers in Miami and Haiti Unite to Quickly Distribute Donations Collected to Haiti’s Earthquake Survivors

MIAMI (January 22, 2010) - After a week of collecting Haiti Relief donations provided by the South Florida community, Sow a Seed (SAS) immediately took action to transport and distribute the supplies to Haiti’s earthquake survivors on Thursday, January 21, 2010. A plane, sponsored by Fed Ex, successfully airlifted seven pallets of much needed medical and hygienic supplies to Port-au-Prince where SAS Haiti volunteers waited on ground to unload the plane, cleared supplies and load up trucks to distribute to various hospitals and orphanages. A second delivery with other medical supplies and food is scheduled for the weekend.

Since SAS was informed that it would take another week to have the supplies delivered via its non-profit organization partners, SAS sought immediate assistance with ANNDEX who scheduled pickups from drop-off locations and the warehouse in Miami and partnered with Fed Ex to carry them to Haiti. SAS Haiti team had immediate resources to distribute the supplies directly to the needy. This first delivery was successful.

The water that was collected was delivered to NOPIN Long Distance who is also supporting a fundraising concert tomorrow to raise money for more water, the source of life to distribute to Haiti

Sow a Seed is a non-profit organization created by a group of young professionals based in Miami and Haiti. SAS Haiti Project Leader Dayana Apaid facilitates the process on the ground with the help of Michel Dominique (ANNDEX), Clyde Doura, Nadim Alkhal, Youri Boulos, Dimitri Boulos, Gennaro Salimbene, Chris Doura, Karim George and many others. The South Florida SAS team includes SAS founder Claudia Apaid and Logistics Leader Sandrine Alkhal with the assistance of many young South Floridians such as high school and college students who work endlessly on collecting donations and packing boxes.

SAS believes in hope. With the continued assistance of donors, volunteers, charitable organizations, churches and businesses, Sow a Seed and donors will continue in the mission to rebuild the lives of Haiti’s earthquake survivors.
