in Haiti First Cohort of the Fanm Angaje Fellowships Complete their Program

The first cohort of Famn Angaje Fellowships recently completed their program. These 25 young women social entrepreneurs are from the South and West Departments of Haiti who are working in inclusive economic development and social enterprise initiatives. Congratulations to these change makers!

As part of the fellowship program and the ENGAGE project, CLE celebrated with a Colloquium on Social Entrepreneurship in Haiti on January 25 to26. Over two days, $22,000 USD in seed funding were allocated to scale the social enterprises of the Fanm Angaje program participants. Impressive solutions to systemic issues in Haiti such as dentistry access, the recycling value-chain, vocational training opportunities, and agricultural production, were among the areas receiving funding. We congratulate these winners for their extraordinary vision and commitment and thank all participants who supported the Colloquium’s events.

A special thanks to Hope for Haiti, Global Affairs Canada, Dunn Family Charitable Foundation, and ProFin who supported the Colloquium.
