Based in the city of Baraderes, Haiti, the organization Just Haiti works with Haitian farmers who produce high quality, organic, Arabica coffee. Just Haiti then markets and sells this coffee to consumers in the United States. The profits from the coffee then go back to the Haitian growers and the community of Baraderes.

Kim Lamberty, the woman who stated Just Haiti, tells Worldview the story behind the organization.
