Haiti: Haitian Agricultural Workers
Channel: IOM - UN Migration
Date: 2015-02-13

SOHADERK is one of the Haitian agricultural associations whose workers have been selected to participate in an IOM project that assists Haitians to find work as seasonal laborers in the US under the H2-A visa category.

With solid experience in vegetable production and the ability to carry out intensive field work, these farmers are looking forward to the opportunity to work abroad for a limited period of time. The remittances generated through their seasonal work will greatly benefit their family and community of origin. 

The IOM seasonal agricultural labor migration project ensures a transparent selection process, keeping any potential smugglers or unscrupulous middle men out of the equation, guaranteeing the human rights of the migrants and fair wages for their work.
