Celebrating 30 Years of Empowerment and Impact in Haiti
Washington, DC – September 16, 2024 – Fonkoze Foundation, a pioneer in empowering Haitians through economic and social change, proudly marks its 30th anniversary. Since its inception in 1994, Fonkoze has been dedicated to improving the lives of Haiti’s most vulnerable communities through financial inclusion, education, health, and sustainable development initiatives. As part of the celebration, Fonkoze is launching the ‘We Are Fonkoze’ (Nou Se Fonkoze) campaign, inviting individuals to share their personal stories of transformation and connection with the organization.
“The past 30 years have been a testament to the strength and determination of the Haitian people,” said Erlantz Hyppolite, Executive Director of Fonkoze USA. “We are honored to stand alongside the people of Haiti, providing the tools and resources needed to break the cycle of poverty and build a sustainable future. Our anniversary is not just a celebration of Fonkoze, but of the strength and hope of every individual and community we serve.”
