Habitat pour Haïti grants starting capital or micro credits for the acquisition or start of new businesses. This offers the Haïtian people a source of income. As a result, families are able to support themselves. Examples of these businesses include the selling of homemade food or handmade clothes, as well as the repair of clothing. Often the new entrepreneurs use recyclable waste as raw material for their trade.

Usually, these small businesses do well. We clearly see an improvement in the family’s living conditions. We always feel it is great to experience how our foundation can make such big improvements in the lives of the Haïtian people with relatively small amounts of money.
