Ramase Lajan is an initiative founded by Executives Without Borders. Since the program's inception in 2011, the partnership has grown to include Thread, Haiti Recycling, CSS International Holdings, Samaritan's Purse, and more than 20 other nonprofit organizations operating across Haiti. Anyone is welcome to collect and bring recyclables to the 26 Ramase Lajan centers located across Haiti. Center staff weigh materials and pay collectors on a per pound basis for the recyclables they bring. The Ramase Lajan network is growing with centers strategically placed throughout Haiti.
