Get to know a few of our graduates
Laura Jean
Laura used the savings she accumulated in our program to pay school fees for her seven-year-old daughter, Ayloudmie. In Haiti, school isn't free, and we are proud to partner with Laura as she invests in her daughter's future.
Kettlie Privat
Kettlie owns a market stand in Canaan, where she sells groceries and cooks hot meals. As you can see in the photo, her stand originally had no walls and a corrugated tin roof. This was a problem particularly in the rainy season, when the frequent rains damage her rice, sugar, fruits and vegetables. Kettlie used her savings from our program to finish the concrete shelter behind her stand, and can now protect her inventory from the rain, and has more space to cook for her customers.
In August 2022 twenty-four women graduated from our year-long microsavings program. We celebrated their graduation at a ceremony in August, and welcomed in our new cohort, this time expanding to include 30 women.
Our long-time partner OPMAGAT has offered its space for trainings, and our long-time trainer is currently staying near Camp Perrin due to instability in Port au Prince.
Stay tuned for photos of individual savers and their stories.
David Pubien
David recently finished our microsavings program, and used his money to open a market stand selling small electronics. David learned a lot about budgeting and saving in our financial literacy workshops, and he plans to continue saving each month now that he has a steady source of income.
Ketia Isaac
Ketia owns a market stall in a market on the north side of Port au Prince. She graduated in the first round of our program and used her savings to expand her inventory. This means more goods for the community and a steady source of income for Ketia.
