I was reading through
a recent project report for the Association of Women in Action of Gwomon (AFAGM)
and it was chock-full of so many great nuggets that I just had to share some
highlights with you.
First off, these women
partnered with the Lambi Fund of Haiti to expand their community credit
fund. In order to prepare the organization to successfully manage
and issue loans to its members, a series of training workshops took place.
Following these
workshops, Lambi Fund provided 250,000 Haitian Gourdes to increase the current
fund’s lending capacity.
Now, AFAGM is
preparing to issue its second cycle of loans to members.
It is results like
these that make me a steadfast believer in Lambi Fund's work. Through
holistic approaches that provide training and financial resources to partner
organizations, institutions are set in place that benefit hardworking Haitians
time and again and not just in one-and-done scenarios.

This is a fabulous initiative. Kathy Sheelagh and Emily Stanger are having success with similar programs in Liberia My question is how can our church group initiate the program in the Jean Denis area for the people there that we are partnering with?
