The Black Beans Project
On a bi-annual basis, the foundation begins the black beans project. A portion of these beans is handed over to a community of farmers. This is sowed and they are supposed to return another produce. Then this is further distributed among another community of farmers.
The black beans are immensely beneficial for the health. Rich in fiber potassium, folate, phytonutrient content, and vitamin B6, it reduced cholesterol in the body and promote heart health. Nowadays, a network of more than 600 farmers is taking part in the projects. It started from 50 and has rapidly become a fruitful l opportunity for the Haiti farmers. Not only provides healthy food but financial sustenance as well.

Our community restaurants
As you may already know, Haiti has the highest percentages of children who are underweight and who are literally wasting away in all Latin America and the Caribbean. Malnourishment in children has been a long term and chronic major public health concern and epidemic in Haiti.
The January 2010 earthquake in Haiti caused an unprecedented, catastrophic loss of human life and physical infrastructure. It also displaced at least 1.5 million people, putting more children at higher risk for malnutrition. On February 19th, 2017 the Anderson Dovilas Foundation opened a community restaurant to give access to a full meal every day to more 300 hundred people.
Among those being fed daily, orphans and orphans are being prioritized. The restaurant is part of our community empowerment and development program that we are currently expanding in Haiti. The main focus of this project is to feed children only but, due to such a high demand when it comes to food, we had to grant access to all we could. We are very proud of how this restaurant and how it is impacting lives on a daily basis.

Lekol Anba Tonel School Under Trees
The people within the foundation are investing efforts to build schools to promote education. The school under trees project is not only meant to help haiti people reduce their illiteracy rate but preserve their strengths. Due to the lifestyle of the people, flexible learning is available. Teachers are sent to both children and adults to match their schedules.
No need to go deeper in data to know that we have a high percentage illiterate. Also, for the kids in school, we have a high percentage of failure, due to lack educational support in school, at home.
The school does not work closely with the students if they are in need of extra help. If their parents are too busy to help with school requirements, or if they don’t have an education level to accompany them with homework and other academic necessity, those children are most likely exposed to failure and will be bullied in school at home. School under trees is a mobile educational concept to support children and adult in haiti.
