Fanm CLM Yo – A Musical Tribute to the Women of CLM
“Like the reed, we bend, but we do not break.”
Fanm CLM Yo (The Women of CLM) is more than a song—it’s a powerful anthem of strength, unity, and transformation. This original piece was created by and for the women of Fonkoze’s Chemen Lavi Miyò (CLM) program—the Pathway to a Better Life. Through rhythm, lyrics, and voices from across Haiti, the music video honors the courage and leadership of women rising from poverty with dignity and determination.

Their voices tell the story of thousands of Haitian women who are building better lives for themselves, their children, and their communities.
🎶 About the Song
This song is a rallying cry. Through Creole lyrics and vibrant instrumentation, Fanm CLM Yo celebrates women who:
Step out from behind the curtain and into leadership
Carry families, communities, and commerce on their backs
Continue fighting through adversity—never breaking, only bending
“When you support a woman, you help a family. That’s exactly what CLM and Fonkoze understand.”
