Haiti - Economy : France rewards the Haitian company Sisalco S.A.
After "Rustic Superior" in 2015, it is the turn of the company "Sisalco S.A." to be among the Haitian laureates of the 2nd edition of the label "la France s’engage au Sud" (France is committed to the South) aimed at rewarding innovative and sustainable projects, with a high social value. Project representative, Marie Franco received the award from President Francois Hollande during a ceremony at the Quai d'Orsay (France).
Recall that Sisalco is a Haitian company, whose objective through the sisal is to propose a model of social entrepreneurial development. Sisalco's objective is to support the development of sisal cultivation throughout the country, especially in the most arid areas where traditional agriculture is not enough for producers due to devastated soils. To this end, Sisalco aims to create purschase centers to start collecting sisal present in the wild and accompany the planting of new plots. In order to carry out this adventure, Sisalco also works in collaboration with the Haitian Ministry of Agriculture and several NGOs.
Lancée en 2015 ce Label récompense des projets à utilité sociale pérenne et innovant, lesquels sont mis en place par des entrepreneurs, associations ou fondations des pays Sud et portent sur le développement durable, l’éducation, la culture, l’agriculture, le climat, l’accès à l’emploi, la santé et la citoyenneté.
