Jean has launched the Together for Haiti initiative via his charity organization Yéle Haiti, which has teamed with the World Food Program (WFP) and the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF). The program will work with a number of non-government organizations and community groups to address the food crisis by repairing damaged soil and using other methods to help farmers to produce larger crops.

Watch Wyclef talk about the cause on CNN.
