anm o, nou se wozo, nou se wozo, se wozo nou ye. This triumphant refrain— “women, we are reeds”—fills Fonkoze meetings throughout Haiti. Whether our clients gather in a friend’s home, under a tree, or in a Fonkoze branch, their voices lift in song, proclaiming their resilience. Like wozo, irrepressible reeds that grow beside Haitian rivers, Fonkoze women persevere despite impossible conditions. They do not break in the face of obstacles. They bend, only to straighten themselves in preparation for the next challenge. Yet even these strong and resilient women encounter challenges that prevent their progress. Personal problems, health issues, and environmental obstacles make our clients’ climb up Fonkoze’s Staircase Out of Poverty a precarious one. In this report, you will discover how Fonkoze is committed to strengthening the core steps of our Staircase Out of Poverty and building resilience for both our clients and our institution. Fonkoze is Haiti’s largest microfinance institution. Our mission is to provide Haitians—primarily women—with the financial and non-financial tools they need to lift their families out of poverty. We work in every area of Haiti, reaching the country’s poorest and most remote regions, to serve more than 200,000 savings clients with a full range of financial services and more than 60,000 women with microloans and—where we can—business training, education, and preventative and promotional health care services. Our founding organization, from which we get our name, is Fondasyon Kole Zepòl (“Shoulder to Shoulder Foundation”)
and provides our development services, while Sèvis Finansye Fonkoze (SFF), a non bank financial institution, provides our financial services. These Haitian organizations are joined by Fonkoze USA, a U.S. nonprofit that supports Fonkoze’s work in Haiti by raising funds and awareness, to form the Fonkoze family—or, simply, Fonkoze.

Fonkoze’s Staircase Out of Poverty

onkoze’s Staircase Out of Poverty provides a comprehensive approach to poverty alleviation in Haiti. Each of its four steps is uniquely designed to provide a woman with the resources and support that she needs to ascend from poverty, wherever she is in her climb. Along with the four main steps, Fonkoze’s Staircase includes education and health services to support our clients as they progress. We are striving to find the resources to ensure all our clients receive the full package of services, designed to reinforce their hard work as they climb the Staircase and create a better future for themselves and their families. Step One: Chemen Lavi Miyò Chemen Lavi Miyò ( “the pathway to a better life”) is the first step on Fonkoze’s

Staircase Out of Poverty, and reaches some of the most impoverished women in the Western Hemisphere. In 2012, Chemen Lavi Miyò (CLM) enabled 1,000 women to pull themselves from ultra-poverty into self-sufficiency, with hope and vision for their futures. Developed from the Graduation model instituted by BRAC, a Bangladeshi NGO, CLM lifts up women living on the very margins of rural society, in some of the most extreme poverty in Haiti. With the support of dedicated case managers, who travel hours by foot to reach some of the most remote members, 96% of participants successfully complete the program. The graduation certificates the women proudly receive signify a series of major accomplishments. At the end of the intensive 18-month program, they
have adequate shelter and sanitation, the ability to feed their families every day and provide clean drinking water, and send all of their children to school. Not least of all, their own self-image is transformed. As CLM graduate Rose-Marie Assenne said, “The person I was yesterday, I am not the same person any longer.” Our CLM team is dedicated to spreading the message throughout Haiti: eliminating extreme rural poverty is possible. In 2012, the CLM program continued to provide training to other groups interested in a similar targeted approach to helping women lift themselves out of extreme poverty. Given the resources and encouragement to get a foothold on the first step of Fonkoze’s Staircase out of Poverty, Haiti’s ultra-poor women will use their commitment and resilience to lift
CLM Graduate Moves Forward with Hope
Bebe Geffrard is one of 1,000 women who successfully completed the CLM program in 2012, establishing a stable income and secure life for herself and her family.
When Bebe Geffrard was selected for Fonkoze’s Chemen Lavi Miyò (CLM) program, she lived with her eight children and eight grandchildren in a decaying hut in Viyèt, an extremely poor agricultural region in northern Boukankarè. She had a tiny plot of her own land—but it was not enough to farm sustainably. She farmed additional land as a sharecropper to try to make ends meet, but had to give one-third to one-half of every harvest to the landowner, making it impossible to get ahead. Her grandchildren were not in school, and the whole family suffered from persistent hunger. Because Bebe’s family was so large, she qualified to receive a cow as one of her income-generating assets provided by Fonkoze. She took great care of it, and it gave birth to a healthy calf, which she sold to buy the land that she had previously worked as a sharecropper. continued, page 3

Now, the entire harvest belongs to Bebe. With milk from the cow and more food to go around, the children are healthier than they have ever been. Her cow has also given birth to a second calf, giving her an even larger asset base. In addition to her cow, Bebe also received two goats as her second asset provided by CLM. The first sales of the goats’ offspring enabled her to buy a horse, a major asset for her farming work. She has used further sales to invest in her farming, buying seed, fertilizer, and tools as she needs them. While farming and livestock production remain her primary activities, Bebe uses income from her crop of pigeon peas each November to fund a seasonal side commerce during the off-season. Applying the business skills she learned from her CLM case manager, Bebe uses her commerce to provide for her family until farming season returns in the spring.
tens of thousands more ti machann to build better, more secure lives for themselves and their families. In 2013, with the support of our generous donors, Fonkoze will double the number of branches offering the Ti Kredi program to more than 30 branches, which will enable us to triple the number of women we serve. Step Three: Solidarity Lending Often called the “heart” of Fonkoze lending—and the third step on our Staircase—Solidarity remains Fonkoze’s largest and longest-running microfinance program. Its communitybased approach offers joint loans to Solidarity groups of five women. Five or six Solidarity groups from a common geographical area join together to form a Solidarity “Center” of 25–30 women. Centers meet twice a month to repay their loans, build community, and participate in education and training activities like Fonkoze’s Ti Koze program. Ti Koze (“little chat”) provides all clients with basic life skills instruction, including disaster risk reduction and
In July 2012, Bebe celebrated her successful completion of 18 months of hard work and training. She graduated from the CLM program. Her life is different now. Her family no longer goes hungry, the younger children are in school, and they live in a well-built house with a solid tin roof. And Bebe and her family keep moving forward. A third calf is on the way, which she plans to use to buy more land. She has her eye on a small plot down the hill from her home, along a small stream. The flowing water will allow her to irrigate, enabling her to farm beans, her main cash crop, much more reliably. Bebe’s increased self-sufficiency is impressive. More impressive, though, is the way she has transformed herself into an analytical, forward-looking thinker. With CLM’s help, she has both learned to plan strategically and acquired the assets she needs to be successful. It’s a transformation that enables her to envision a brighter future for herself and her children.

preventative health measures. In 2012, Ti Koze continued to further strengthen Solidarity clients’ sense of community and enable them to be better leaders, both at home and in the marketplace. Along with Fonkoze’s other education and health initiatives (see page 5), we are continuing to build the resilience of our Solidarity clients. In 2012, we served over 56,000 Solidarity clients and had a client retention rate of approximately 82%, moving further towards our goal of strengthening this critical part of our institution.

Jistina enrolled in the first class Fonkoze offers its adult women, Alfa bon, and has yet to slow down.

Supporting Services Education Over 40% of Fonkoze’s Solidarity clients are illiterate when they join Fonkoze. To give them the skills they need to succeed, we offer two complementary education initiatives. All 56,464 Solidarity clients participate in a monthly life skills-oriented class called Ti Koze (“little chat”), which engages them in discussion and interaction. More specialized Alfa classes are also available, offering literacy and business skills, among other topics, led by specially trained Solidarity clients who already know how to read and write. In 2012, the Alfa program served 10,960 participants, 99.5% of whom graduated successfully. With 3,995

Jistina sells alimentary products like peas and corn, which she buys locally and then sells in the market in Jakmel. Vilson sells clothes and household goods. Her small commerce, augmented by Fonkoze, enables her to pay for school for her five children, ranging in age from sixteen to two years old. For Vilson, seeing her mom make progress is incredibly rewarding. When the classes began, Vilson says, “I felt good because she had the chance to come learn.” While Jistina’s pride as she signs her name is evident, the results of Jistina’s progress do not stop there. “Now my profits have helped me to buy a small cow,” Jistina says proudly. “Even if there are problems with the children, I can always find money.”
participants, Business Skills was the most popular Alfa module, followed closely by the new Alfa bon (“good reading”) literacy module, which taught 3,078 clients how to read and write. Fonkoze offered Alfa classes in approximately half of our branches in 2012. Our goal is to provide Alfa classes in all 46 of our branches, giving all clients access to both Ti Koze’s life skills training and Alfa’s more in-depth instruction. Health In 2012, 11% of Fonkoze clients were forced to leave Fonkoze programs for health-related reasons. In an effort to prevent losing any client to health issues, Fonkoze sought to further strengthen our innovative health services in 2012. This included continuing our pilot program in Lenbe, serving nearly 1,300 clients with preventative health services and 1,700 clients with monthly health education sessions. Thanks to training provided to all Lenbe Center chiefs, all Fonkoze clients in Lenbe received monthly health education in subjects like sexual health and infectious diseases. In addition, all interested clients paid $1 per month for preventative services from Fonkoze nurses based in the Lenbe branch. Dr. Wesly Elize explains the importance of including client buy-in: “The clients feel like they’re responsible for their own health. It gives them the opportunity to construct what they want, and it makes access to services sustainable.” For an additional $1 a month, Fonkoze also provided curative services, complete with laboratory tests and prescription drugs as needed, for Fonkoze clients and up to three of their family members through our partner institution, Hôpital Saint Jean de Limbe. Through financing from Global Partnerships—with the opportunity to scale up to all 46 Fonkoze branches—
the pilot seeks to continue our longstanding commitment to providing more than loans to our clients. Our Health department’s other initiatives include a reading glasses microbusiness project in partnership with Vision Springs; training, referral, and screening for malnutrition in partnership with Malzone Fund; and the distribution of vitamins through Vitamin Angels. In 2012, the vitamin distribution program served 122,869 beneficiaries with essential supplements, including multivitamins, vitamin A, de-worming pills, prenatal vitamins, and micronutrient powder for clients’ children.
Distribution of Vitamin Products In 2012, Fonkoze continued its partnership with Vitamin Angels to distribute key vitamins to our clients and their families. By implementing a new system to manage the vitamin products more effectively, Fonkoze was able to serve 69,000 children and 1,701 pregnant and lactating women. 6,892,380

SME Lending n working to create economic opportunities for Haitians, Fonkoze has increasingly sought to fill a key gap: the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. While ti machann (“market women”) represent the heart of Fonkoze lending, they cannot drive the type of growth necessary to generate jobs for a population struggling with an unemployment rate estimated to be between 40% and 70%. Fonkoze continues to address the need for more formal-sector jobs and increased private-sector investment with SME lending programs. Like any new endeavor, expansion into the SME sector has been a learning process. In 2012, Fonkoze shifted our focus to strengthening the SME lending program’s microfinance methodology and management capacity. Zafèn Zafèn (“it’s our business”) provides loans to small and growing businesses with capital from donors and from an online crowd-funding platform (www. zafen.org). It was developed in 2010 as the result of a partnership between Fonkoze, DePaul University, the International Vincentian Family, and the Haitian Hometown Associations Resource Group. Zafèn targets the Haitian Diaspora and friends of Haiti abroad, giving them the opportunity to connect with Haitian business owners. In 2012, Zafèn disbursed soft loans to 300 Haitian SMEs. In 2011, small business owner Arnold Baldé was approved for a $6,700 Zafen loan for his business producing peanut butter, chanm chanm (a popular snack of grounded roasted corn and peanuts), and other alimentary products. “With that 6

money, we grew eagle’s wings,” he proclaims. He has created 36 jobs and has a growing demand for his products, allowing him to repay his loan and keep his business growing.
Youth Savings and Credit Pilot In 2012, Fonkoze launched the pilot for an exciting new initiative: two complementary programs to provide Haitian youth with access to financial

services. The programs, Epay Jèn (youth savings) and Kredi Jèn (youth credit), provide savings and microfinance loans in a format modeled in part after Fonkoze’s successful Ti Kredi program, offering education services in addition to traditional financial services to young Haitians aged 14 to 24. Geneviève Jean, a 21-year-old participant in the Epay Jèn program, says, “My business helps me pay for school and allows me to save money [to fulfill my] dream of attending nursing school.” With the help of Fonkoze’s partners BRAC, Making Cents, and Plan Haiti, the Epay Jèn program has enabled 264 youth in our Jakmèl branch to open savings accounts and receive training on how to manage their money. We look forward to completing the pilot and determining how serving the financial needs of youth can become a sustainable component of achieving Fonkoze’s mission. Savings Services Fonkoze’s 46 branches cover every area of Haiti, serving a critical need for our 200,000-plus savings clients. Most rural Haitians lack access to a commercial bank or are unable to open an account due to minimum balance policies or account fees. Fonkoze’s savings services provide them with a much-needed opportunity to safeguard their money and earn interest. In addition, larger organizations such as community organizations and NGOs use Fonkoze’s extensive branch network to move cash throughout Haiti. As a condition for receiving microloans, all microfinance clients deposit 13% of their loan amount in a savings account. This policy not only protects Fonkoze from loan defaults, it enables clients to increase their secure financial assets and, as a result, safeguard their futures. Transfer Services In 2011, transfers and remittances accounted for approximately 21%
At the end of FY2012, the average outstanding loan size of our Ti Kredi and Solidarity loan clients was $130. The portfolio at risk for that period (the portion of the portfolio deemed at risk because of payments more than 30 days past due) was approximately 11%.
of Haiti’s GDP (World Bank Annual Remittance Inflows). Recognizing the importance of such money transfers for many of our clients, Fonkoze offers its clients access to remittances in all our branches by serving as an agent for established transfer companies in Haiti. In 2012, we processed over 250,000 money transfers, totaling over $86 million. Microinsurance Services Our clients’ precarious position on the Staircase Out of Poverty makes them particularly vulnerable to external hardships. One of the ways Fonkoze tries to build their resilience is by partnering with insurance companies and other organizations to provide our clients with access to microinsurance. Fonkoze’s micro life insurance product combines credit and life insurance, covering the outstanding loan amount in case of a client’s death and providing her family with $125 to help pay for her funeral—a very important and often expensive tradition in Haitian culture. Provided through Alternative Insurance Company (AIC), a Haitian insurance
company, this microinsurance is included in a client’s loan cost, ensuring that all clients receive coverage. In 2011 and 2012, Fonkoze piloted a natural catastrophe microinsurance product called Kore W (“Reinforce You”), in partnership with the Microinsurance Catastrophe Risk Organization (MiCRO). Kore W served over 28,000 Fonkoze clients in 2012, providing 28,028 payouts in addition to forgiving clients’ existing loans and providing them with new ones when they were ready. A review of the pilot, however, revealed that there were significant problems with the way it was structured, resulting in considerable financial losses for SFF. Fonkoze has suspended the pilot, and we are working with our partners to explore alternatives. We believe that access to microinsurance services is an important safeguard for our clients. We will continue to explore partnerships that enable us to help protect our clients from external risks, thereby creating stronger clients and a stronger institution.

e cannot discuss building resilience without a way to measure progress. That’s where our Social Impact Monitoring team comes in. Our dedicated group of Social Impact Monitors systematically track clients’ progress and evaluate program effectiveness, maintaining a flow of information to managers at all levels of the institution. Social Impact Monitors track specific client cohorts from each incoming group, using a food security assessment and the Progress Out of Poverty Index (PPI), a poverty measurement tool developed by Grameen Foundation. Our Social Impact team measures key indicators both upon clients’ entry into a Fonkoze program and then on an annual basis (for Solidarity clients) or graduation (for CLM members and Ti Kredi clients). The quantitative and qualitative analysis Social Impact Monitors provide not only gives us big-picture insights about our programs’ impact on Fonkoze as an institution, it also enables us to measure the impact on our members and clients on each step of the Staircase Out of Poverty—and, most importantly, track their progression up it. Our clients achieved some key gains

Our Financial Results resulting in a substantial reduction in assets and liabilities. 2012 was also a transition year for donor-funded programs. Emergency and reconstruction projects, which remained a large portion of 2011 grants, wound down in 2012, whereas funding levels for the regular programs remained relatively stable. An initial effort was made to reduce central office expenses, which will continue over the next year as the Foundation maintains its focus on delivering economic development, health, and education services to support Fonkoze’s clients in their journey out of extreme poverty.
Fonkoze S.A. and Subsidiary Sèvis Finansye Fonkoze èvis Finansye Fonkoze (SFF), the operating company of Fonkoze S.A., is a Haitian non bank financial institution established in 2004. Through 46 branches across all of Haiti’s ten departments, we serve over 60,000 microloan clients and over 200,000 savings clients. In FY2012, we facilitated over 250,000 money transfers valued at over $86 million. SFF changed our fiscal year to end September 30 in 2012 to align ourselves with regulatory requirements in Haiti. In FY2012, SFF had operating losses of $5,655,860. Nearly half of these losses were related to Kore W, Fonkoze’s natural catastrophe insurance product (see page 7).

FONKOZE FAMILY 2012 ANNUAL REPORT
services to Haiti’s poorest. Fondasyon Kole Zepòl 2012 was a momentous year for Fondasyon Kole Zepòl. For 18 years, its role was to open new branches and deliver financial services to new, underserved populations. In 2012, the Fonkoze Family decided it was time to stop the expansion of its branch network and shift the emphasis to deep coverage of the areas where Fonkoze already works. In addition, Fonkoze is preparing to face upcoming regulation of the microfinance sector by Haiti’s Central Bank. Under this regulation, not for profit organizations will not be allowed to operate a microcredit program while receiving substantial amounts of grants from donors. As a result, on June 23rd, 2012, the Fonkoze board voted a resolution allowing the transfer of all remaining branches to Sèvis Finansye Fonkoze,
Fonkoze USA 2012 was another successful year of fundraising for Fonkoze USA in support of our Haiti partners. In addition to donations from thousands of supporters, we also received several large grants from major funders spanning multi years ensuring that the work of the Fonkoze Family will continue into 2013 and beyond. Of all funds expended during 2012, nearly 87 percent were used to make grants or provide direct support to our Haitian programs. This excellent performance has enabled us to retain the highest rating with Charity Navigator and GuideStar. We also hold the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Seal.
