Pathway to a Better Life in Haiti (Fonkoze's graduation approach for poverty alleviation)

Pathway to a Better Life in Haiti tells the powerful story of Fondasyon Kole Zepòl (Fonkoze), whose name means “shoulder-to-shoulder” in Haitian Creole, and their unwavering commitment to local women and families living in extreme poverty. This book offers a deeply human look into how Fonkoze made the bold decision to target extreme poverty at its roots and adopted a program tailored to lift families out of it—permanently. Through evolving strategies and hard-earned lessons, and with compelling, firsthand accounts from women who have walked this journey, the book brings to life the resilience, courage, and transformations that define the Fonkoze approach. As the world continues to pursue the United Nations' goal of eradicating extreme poverty, Shoulder to Shoulder stands as both a blueprint and a call to action. The path is long, but Fonkoze has shown that change is not only possible—it’s already happening.
