Fonkoze, Haiti's largest microfinance institution,
serves over 25,000 loan clients and 50,000 depositors
through 20 branches located nationwide. Fonkoze
provides a mix of financial services (loans,
savings, currency exchange and money transfer)
and literacy training in business skills, development,
and reproductive health. Fonkoze recently commercialized
its viable financial operations and is developing
a full set of integrated services to serve poor
people.
"Fonkoze recently hosted a global practitioners'
summit on accompanying the poorest out of ultra poverty.
Our goal is to end extreme poverty in Haiti. The
International Year of Microcredit represents a unique
opportunity to focus the world's attention on the
poorest citizens of the Western Hemisphere's poorest
country."
