Why EkoAyiti

A scalable business aligned with ESG from day one.

Large, proven market

Over 80% of Haitian households cook with charcoal — a $400M annual market with constant, non-discretionary demand.

Better unit economics

Locally-sourced waste as feedstock keeps input costs low. A competitively-priced product with healthy margins.

Real ESG impact

Every briquette sold protects forests, cuts emissions, and creates rural jobs — measurable impact investors can stand behind.

Use of funds

Where the $75K goes.

  • Establish the first production facility in Hinche, Haiti.
  • Develop and market the ecological-charcoal product line.
  • Build a distribution network to reach target customers.

First-year output is projected at 96,000 briquettes/day (~$3,000/day at $0.03125 each) over a 10-month production run.

* Returns are projections, not guarantees. Available agricultural waste can shift these assumptions by 30–50%, which is why agriculture is part of our plan. Distributions are expected to begin at the end of year two, with a possible partial distribution after year one.

$1,000 (0.2% equity) for Haitians in the diaspora and $500 (0.1% equity) for people in Haiti. A $5,000 investment buys 1% equity.
