Project Description
Excluded populations in Haiti face unemployment and lack access to credit. Kouraj Pou Pwoteje Dwa Moun (Kouraj) provides marginalized groups with training in small business development and working capital to facilitate entrepreneurship. At the IAF we support community-led solutions to expand economic opportunity in Haiti. Kouraj’s activities promote small business growth, local entrepreneurship and market development to ensure meaningful opportunities for communities to thrive.
