Figi Jezi: Community Transformation Center

At Figi Jezi, our mission is to provide assistance to those in need. We believe that everyone deserves access to basic necessities and we work tirelessly to make this a reality. We have found that many in the community come to Tommy's Clinic for leg and foot related pain such as elephantiasis, lymphedema and mossy foot. So we started a healthy steps initiative to treat, manage pain and educate in this area. Additionally,  we focus on leg wounds, diabetes and hypertension as these all are highly untreated in Haiti and can impede ones ability to ambulate. Our team of medical care professionals is growing as the need has increased. 

At Figi Jezi we help our community grow by propagating seeds of faith and spiritual guidance as well as propagating new plants in our gardens and in our community from various sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Both the seeds of faith as well as the plant seeds are used to build a good foundation for the Transformation Center, our Community, Haiti and its people. We have various programs that help us succeed at growing our Community through means of propagation including but not limited to our core group classes/bible studies, community outreach and activities (see outreach), the learn and grow classes for kids, agriculture classes for adults, the community gardens, our community meal program and lastly a community church that was recently donated to Figi Jezi because of the appreciation from the surrounding community.
