THE PROJECT
V'ice provides an innovative solution to two of Haiti's most overwhelming obstacles:
1. Massive unemployment, affecting 70% of the population
2. Nation-wide health crisis, causing vitamin and protein deficiency
V'ICE SHAVED ICE CONE
Made from clean water, the V'ice Shaved Ice Cone meets local vitamin supplementation needs as identified by the Haitian Health Ministry and USAID.
Made to be affordable to all at 20 cents per cone.
Available in Raspberry, Lime, Banana, Mango and
Blueberry.
V'BAR VITAMINIZED PROTEIN BAR
Provides protein and vitamins that supplement
the daily nutritional needs of Haitians as identified by the Haitian Health Ministry & US AID.
We make them fresh daily from our own peanut
butter made from Haitian-grown peanuts
combined with Haitian-made vitaminized
cornflakes.
Made to be affordable at 15 cents per bar.
V'IKE RECUMBENT TRICYCLE
An innovative 3-wheel recumbent bicycle engineered and built in Haiti.
Rented by micro-franchisees to sell V’ice on the streets and deliver ice blocks to schools and houses.
V'ICEBOX
An innovative ice box that stores an ice
block for shaving and keeps it cool.
Used to sell V’ice in neighborhoods and
schools.
Insulation is provided by Styrofoam
recycled from the streets of Port-au-Prince
that is cut up and pressed into board.
In Just One Year...
We have perfected the V'ice vitamin formulation, designed and built V'ike prototypes, and opened our first hub in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital and poorest city. Our dream is that within 5 years, V'ice will provide sustainable vitamin supplementation to over 5 million children and adults annually.
V'ICE IN ACTION
Your donation will give a young, at-risk male the opportunity to be self-employed as a micro-franchisee. The innovative V'ike offers transport and wider distribution of our clean water shaved ice, toppings, and V'bars to schools and home franchisees for resale.
V'IKE STREET
DISTRIBUTION
Your donation will give an in need Haitian male with or without a High School Degree the opportunity to be self employed as a micro-franchisee by giving them a V'ike and V'iceBox to transport and sell V'ice and V'bars at Haitian markets and workplaces. They will also use their V'ikes to transport our clean water shaved ice, toppings and V'bars to our schools and home distributors.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
SCHOOLS
Your donation will create unique self-employment opportunities for young women to sell V'ice and V'bars. We will provide them with our Haitian-made V'ice Boxes to sell V'ice and V'bars during school hours to students, parents, and teachers.
NEIGHBORHOOD
DISTRIBUTION
Your donation will give an unemployed mother the opportunity to make money from home while taking care of her children. You donate, and we provide them with Haitian-made V’ice Boxes to sell V'ice and V'bars to all age groups within their neighborhoods.
