Haitian Education Leadership Program (HELP)

http://haitianeducation.org/

HELP provides merit-based university scholarships in Haiti for top high school graduates who could never afford the tuition. HELP serves bright, motivated young women and men with a proven record of academic achievement for whom the only obstacle to a university education and a better future is the lack of financial resources. HELP scholarships contribute to the growth of Haiti’s professional class and change Haiti’s long-standing inequities and rigid class structure.

Fonkoze - http://fonkoze.org/

Fonkoze is Haiti’s alternative bank for the organized poor. It is the largest microfinance institution in Haiti, serving more than 55,000 women borrowers, most of whom live and work in the countryside of Haiti, and more than 175,000 savers. Fonkoze is a family of three institutions working together shoulder-to-shoulder towards a single compelling mission: building the economic foundations for democracy in Haiti by providing the rural poor with the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty. This mission is reflected in our name, Fonkoze, which is an acronym for the Haitian Creole phrase “Fondasyon Kole Zepòl” meaning “Shoulder-to-Shoulder Foundation.”
