From their humble beginnings in the Dominican Republic back in 1984, Plant With Purpose, an environmental non-profit organization, has grown tremendously through the visionary guidance of its American custodians.
The ethos of the company is to bring a holistic approach to the fight against poverty that includes environmental, economic, as well as spiritual transformation.
"We believe that this three-part approach is the key to creating lasting, sustainable change, and we use a variety of techniques such as micro-credit loans, business skills training and community development to empower the poor to solve their own problems," said Scott Sabin, Plant With Purpose’s Executive Director.
Plant With Purpose programs now cover more than 230 villages worldwide, and since 1984 they have helped more than 100,000 under-privileged people in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Thailand, Burundi and Tanzania.
