Floresta, a Christian organization, reverses deforestation and poverty in the world, by transforming the lives of the rural poor. Floresta USA and its Dominican sister organization, Floresta Incorporada were founded in 1984 to develop a plan to meet the environmental, economic and spiritual needs of the rural people of the Dominican Republic. Currently there are over 2000 families who are benefiting from Floresta’s program in Haiti, Mexico and the Dominican Republic: receiving loans, training in sustainable agriculture and reforestation, assistance in community organizing, capacity building, and marketing assistance.
