Haïti
Haiti faces significant socioeconomic and climate vulnerabilities, with its population confronted with food insecurity and instability.
A population facing multiple challenges
Haiti is a Caribbean country located on the island of Hispaniola, sharing its territory with the Dominican Republic. The country faces significant political instability and insecurity, as well as frequent natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and tornadoes.
These conditions make it difficult for a large part of the population to access essential services and employment. Agriculture and local trade remain essential sources of income and autonomy for Haitians.
A country highly exposed to social and climate risks
With an estimated population of 11.5 million, Haiti ranks 158th out of 193 countries on the Human Development Index, and 46% of the population faces acute food insecurity.

Working with small retailers and farmers
Present in Haiti since 2005, Entrepreneurs du Monde supports vulnerable populations through two social enterprises:
- Palmis Mikwofinans Sosyal: a social microfinance institution offering financial and technical support to small traders and farmers.
- Palmis Enèji: an energy access program that provides families and microenterprises with access to electricity and sustainable energy solutions.
These programs aim to strengthen the autonomy of beneficiaries and maintain essential services despite crises.

Economic and social inclusion
Palmis Mikwofinans Sosyal
Faced with socio-political instability and insecurity, Palmis Mikwofinans Sosyal is rallying alongside micro-entrepreneurs who are fighting to keep their businesses afloat. Some, forced to flee their region, have had to start all over again elsewhere.
