Helping families grow hope, one microloan at a time. 🇭🇹

At yesterday’s meeting, we were honored to hear from Père Andre Wildaine, on-the-ground point person of the Haiti Project and member of the Gonaïves Rotary Club.

Microloans through the Haiti Project provide women in rural mountain villages with the opportunity to build small businesses, feed their families, and keep their children safe, planting seeds for a stronger, more peaceful community and future.
