Morne-A-Bruler is made by mountain, cliff, gullies and cover of trees but very impressive or attractive tourism area there is a lack of leadership commitment to environmental protection, resources such as wildland, waterway threatened, cultural and natural resources. The inhabitants have been collecting and drinking (groundwater) unpurified water from unsafe hills under the mountain where many of them already get slipped down, rolled to the gullies, fractured, died and till date today 95% of the people are exposed to loss of life and there have been no other organization that has sought to address these innovations and their needs. The unemployment and the financial crisis have buried the remote population, the poverty and starvation rates are very high cause lack of irrigation and agriculture development services.Imagine those who are living close to cliff, gullies or hills environment always quickly killed by storm or earthquake due to the unsafeground.

.Morne-A-Bruler,Haiti Due its remote location remains forgotten with regards to basic services since existence does not has access to transportation and electricity. The impassable roads plays a role in the precarious situation of the inhabitants. This deteriorates the Health condition of the vulnerable people and with the existing economic condition, lack of food worsens the situation.They may a home but no house to live, they may have a roof but no bed to sleep, being embraced with poverty there is a high rate of not only health problems but also starvation and illiteracy.

With regards to women of child bearing age nutritional status and high fertility rate major cause of concerns.Projects will be implemented for the benefit of the disadvantaged people of Morne-A- Bruler 3rd section Communal de La Vallee de Jacmel and area of Paulycienne Bas Coq Chante 10 section communal de Jacmel and other neighborhood section of South East Department millions beneficiaries come from all over the country .Those are the undeserved communities and poor families who have no access to foods stamp due to their precarious economic and social situation.

Agriculture & Infrastructure

From an environmental perspective, Morne-A-Bruler differs from other parts of Haiti because it is covered with vegetation, which is quite dense in its valleys, foothills and mountain peaks. However, the majority of the cultivated land is in the foothills and mountains where natural vegetation has been destroyed for the benefit of cereal crops and food. Floods occur after intense rainfall, causing adverse agricultural impacts. Annual losses due to erosion are estimated at several thousand dollars per year. In addition, agriculture is frequently challenged by natural events like storms and cyclones. As a result, charcoal is now a potential income source, reducing soil fertility and agriculture performance due to deforestation. Even now, the situation is almost beyond remediation as no alternative plans nor environmental protection exists.

Agriculture is essential to the economic development of Haiti, yet it faces a variety of constraints. Farming is characterized by the absence of large herds, particularly the Creole Pig whose numbers were significantly reduced from 1980-1983 due to systematic slaughter. It would be possible to reduce these types of losses through regular vaccination campaigns and training. Livestock is particularly important in Morne-A-Bruler and a constant on almost all family farms because it not only provides additional income but also serves as an economic safety net to cover major and/or unforeseen expenses. Cattle are used to produce milk, and litters are used to raise livestock. Horses are the main mode of transport for people and goods. Goats are considered to be mobilized savings, and birds are an excellent source of protein and income for families (eggs, meat).

The road network in Morne-A-Bruler is dirt and impractical for animals, much less humans during the rainy season. Walking and animals are the most common forms of transport. Lack of transportation

Infrastructure is a handicap for business, communication and access to potable water. As a result, people are forced to walk through unsafe gullies and hills to collect unpurified water, which negatively impacts time and health. As a result, families are constantly exposed to water contamination and poor hygiene. In Morne-A-Bruler, sanitation and health services are virtually non-existent as there are no water testing facilities and no means to treat diarrhea and other water-related health problems. Water is life in a community like Morne-A-Bruler. With no purified water to drink, residents are forced to capture their water from untested springs and, sometimes, directly from rivers, gullies and hillsides.

In conclusion, farmers in Morne-A-Bruler practice rain-fed agriculture, which is subject to Nature’s whims and, therefore, highly irregular. Agriculture storage facilities are non-existent, which causes waste after harvest due to no means of storage or processing. In addition, farmers are forced to pay large sums for the purchase of seed markets. Low agriculture productivity is due to the absence of any type of technical supervision. The area has no agricultural extension system, no credit and no training. Solutions to these uncertainties could include establishment of savings and credit programs, agricultural input shops, storage facilities, environmental education, farm training and supervision, and technical education for improving use of pastures and herd/breed maximization. An adequate road system would facilitate transport of goods to market and, possibly, promote development of tourism in what is still a beautiful area of the country.

Morne-A-Bruler is currently characterized by the immigration of families from Port-au-Prince after the 2010 earthquake. The actual rate of unemployment is officially unknown although best estimates cite 80 percent. The community needs basic services and an ability to monitor specific vulnerable groups, such as children, pregnant women and the elderly. A large number of young boys stay in the street because they have no place to go. And, young mothers live in the street with babies crying because they have no place to go either. The latter, in particular, need to learn basic skills so they can be responsible for their future family. GVOHT has inadequate resources to manage these ongoing needs, especially since Morne-A-Bruler is an unknown area far from the main development machine. There is no shortage to the residents’ appeal for help, which is why the area is sending out this emergency call for help to any organization, company or individual who can help.
