The Lambi Fund of Haiti will build a sugar cane mill in the Tach area of Haiti to enable the farmers there to mill their sugar cane on site, saving time and effort and increasing the income they receive from their crops. 

Haitian Health Foundation has an existing goat breeding & distribution program to provide food, milk, and economic opportunity for families in remote villages.  Pangea is funding the distribution of 60 additional goats.  The goat offspring are used to contribute to a Food program, to give to another family in the village, to eat, and to sell. 

CEDICAM (a 2003 grantee in Oaxaca, Mexico) will use Pangea funds for a pilot project to form a farming and marketing cooperative for local produce.  Two groups of 10 families each will grow and market organic, healthy food that will appeal to the local palate. Includes constructing a greenhouse, purchasing a cooperative truck to take products to market, and arranging market site storage and staffing.

Jubilee House, in Managua, Nicaragua, will use its Pangea grant to add to the revolving loan fund it uses to provide credit to the community of people displaced by Hurricane Mitch.  The first loan from Pangea funds will be used to repair and upgrade the machinery at a successful women's sewing cooperative which a Pangea delegation visited in May 2004.
