Locally grown.
Locally prepared.
Nourishing Haiti.
Diri Lavi! connects nutritious meals with opportunity for Haitian farmers, workers, and families.
Diri Lavi! Rice for Life.
​Diri Lavi! means “Rice for Life” in Haitian Creole. Through this food-packaging program, Overture brings locally grown rice and beans into meal preparation, connecting nutrition support with Haitian communities and their resources.
​Beginning with Haitian farmers.
Purchasing rice and beans from Haitian farmers connects nourishment with agricultural livelihoods. These purchases provide a market for local produce and help keep investment within the communities where food is grown. Farmers contribute the knowledge and work that make this part of the program possible.
Prepared by Haitian hands.
Haitian workers prepare and package meals, bringing practical skills and care to the process. Paid work opportunities help participants provide for their households while contributing to a program that serves children and families.
Local food preparation connects community participation with a shared purpose.
​Nourishment where it is needed.
Diri Lavi! meals support school and community feeding, crisis care, and emergency responses according to assessed needs and program arrangements. This support can help children access nourishment and ease pressures on caregivers during difficult periods.

brings these activities together while contributing to the Nutrition pillar of our Social Support Model. Nourishment works alongside education, healthcare, and family support to help children grow within safer, more stable households.
