Our Purpose

The purpose of Camp H.A.I.T.I. (Haitian Agriculture Irrigation Technology Initiative) is to raise money and awareness for sustainable irrigation projects in Haiti. We already have viable water sources and available local manpower, all we need now is the funding to purchase the materials.

In Haiti when seeds are planted in the ground for food, many times they can only be watered with buckets of water that are sometimes carried for several miles. This might work to feed a family but it will not work to feed the masses. Synergizing hydraulics and water supply analysis with proper irrigation design and installation can exponentially increase crop yields.

Irrigation without Borders is dedicated to working with local teams and leaders to supervise installation and offer irrigation training. By working directly with these village leaders, we will help them assume ownership and responsibility for these projects thus allowing them to irrigate their own crops and feed their own people.

Our Plan
On March 13, 2011, our founder, David Youssi began camping in a tent along side Towne Lake Parkway in Woodstock, GA, living without basic plumbing or other accommodations with only a campfire for lighting to show solidarity with the one million people in Haiti who live less than this, on a daily basis.  

David remained camping outside the TLC Church in the Camp Haiti Tent regardless the weather (heat, snow, sleet, ice, hail, or rain), every evening until the money was raised for at least one of our three irrigation projects. Our hope was to reach enough people who would give at least $1 that we could turn our vision into a reality.

We would like to thank everyone who visited and contributed to our mission. We are proud to announce we will be putting in our first irrigation system in Haiti at the beginning of 2012.
