I'm Gerthy Lahens, and I waserthy Lahens, and I was born and raised in Port-au- Prince, Haiti, and I can show you a tape on Haiti.

So let's roll.

I don't know if you've heard of Haiti.

It's a small country in the Caribbean just 600 miles off the coast of Florida.

Unfortunately, years of political unrest and environmental damage have made Haiti one of the poorest countries of the world.

Work is very hard to find.

The one-third of our population that are working makes about ten U.S. dollars a week.

Haitians can make more money if they can grow their own food, processes it, and sell it as a product.

Peanuts are a very important crop for Haiti because they are good for the soil.

Peanut butter is a great source of protein.

We love it.

We call it mamba.

It's so popular because it's cheap and nutritious.

What Haitians need is to find a cheaper and easier way to process food.

Here's where you can help, Design Squads.

I want you to build a protype of a peanut butter maker.

It must be made with low-cost materials, and most importantly, it must be human powered.

The winning peanut butter maker will be used by a woman's cooperative in Haiti.
