Entrepreneurship & Economic Development

Boosting Financial Autonomy

Economic development is a key lever for the autonomy of Haiti’s rural communities. KANPE supports local entrepreneurship by helping women, youth, and farmers create and grow income-generating activities.

Our Actions

Opportunities for economic advancement are limited in rural Haiti, yet the drive to create and innovate is strong. KANPE strengthens entrepreneurship through:

  • A community microcredit program: Since its launch, this program has issued over 750 loans, with a near 100% repayment rate. Funds are reinvested to support new projects and local associations.
  • Supporting women entrepreneurs: We work with three women’s associations, notably through the Federation of Women’s Associations of Baille Tourible (FAFBAT), fostering collaboration and building business management skills.
  • Developing agricultural and livestock initiatives: KANPE supports projects such as goat-rearing, community seed banks, and local farms to improve food security and diversify income sources.

Our Impact

  • Job creation and income generation: KANPE-supported projects help families stabilize their finances and invest in the future.
  • Training in management and entrepreneurship: We provide financial management and business development training to ensure the long-term sustainability of local enterprises.
  • A replicable, sustainable model: Our initiatives are designed to be autonomous over time, strengthening the economic resilience of communities.

By supporting local entrepreneurship, KANPE helps create new economic opportunities and strengthen the financial autonomy of rural communities.
