Over the past four years, Fonkoze has reimagined its Chemen Lavi Miyò (CLM) program to address barriers like unequal caregiving responsibilities and traditional gender roles in Haiti. Here’s what’s changing: ✅ Women are trained earlier to set goals and lead decisions in their homes. ✅ Men are stepping up as partners in caregiving and household leadership. ✅ Families are thriving together. As one participant shared, “Thanks to the training, I now believe in myself. I don’t just listen to others anymore—I listen to myself first.” We're poised to begin scaling these innovations to every corner of Haiti. Together, we can build a more equitable future.

We are thrilled to share a few images from the December 2024 graduation of one of our most impactful initiatives—the Chemen Lavi Miyò (CLM) program! 💪 This program is at the heart of our mission to walk alongside communities in Haiti, helping families overcome barriers to a better life. This cohort in Gwo Mòn was made possible through our incredible partnership with Mercy Focus on Haiti, a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. 🌟 Together, we’re creating brighter futures and stronger communities. Join us in celebrating this milestone! 💙 #Fonkoze #Haiti

Give the gift of education for women in Haiti: Fonkoze developed a cost-efficient, tablet-based digital learning program called EdTek. This program is accessible in Haitian Creole regardless of literacy. EdTek is run through local networks and helps women in rural Haiti build skills to support their families and communities. https://buff.ly/4eMRe1y #wearefonkoze #education #inclusion #women #haiti #givingtuesday

Today, the extraordinary @MichaelBrun joins us in celebrating @fonkoze’s 30th Anniversary and Giving Tuesday. “As a Haitian, I’m really proud to say that Fonkoze is a Haitian-led organization,” Michaël shares in his message. “I think it’s incredibly important that the future of the country is in the Haitian people’s hands.” YOU can help make a difference.

Why support Fonkoze this Giving Tuesday? Lasting change. We sat down with Yvrose, Cénel, Saintcimène, and Clairmicille—four former CLM members whose stories left us deeply inspired. https://buff.ly/3VkLXrw Hearing how they’ve transformed lives of hardship into futures filled with hope, pride, and possibility reminds us why we do this work. Through their courage and CLM’s support, they’ve built thriving businesses, strong communities, and brighter tomorrows for their families. These moments renew our belief that change is possible, even in the hardest circumstances. 💛 Their courage reminds us why we do what we do. 💛 📖 Read their stories on our blog. #haiti #TransformLives #Haiti #EconomicInclusion #TogetherWeRise
