Palmis Mikwofinans Sosyal in Haiti

In Haiti, 86% of the working population lives from highly vulnerable employment. Extreme poverty drives enterprising men and women to set up small businesses or workshops to support their families, with very limited resources. But they sorely lack the capital, training and support to develop and secure their business.

Palmis Mikwofinans Sosyal (PMS), a microfinance institution with a strong social vocation incubated by Entrepreneurs du Monde, provides these micro-entrepreneurs with these key services to succeed and lift their families out of extreme poverty:

• credit without collateral or guarantees ;
• access to savings
• training in management, health, agriculture and rights;
• personalized social support.

Faced with the explosion of gang violence in Port-au-Prince, PMS has redeployed to the provinces to continue supporting displaced micro-entrepreneurs. In 2024, over 8,900 entrepreneurs were supported, 78% of them women, with an average loan of €244.

Thanks to this support:

• The average net income of beneficiaries has risen by 36% in 18 months ;
• Entrepreneurs regain financial stability ;
• They are able to save, invest and finance their children's schooling.

In 2025, we aim to support a further 200 entrepreneurs in safe rural areas, but we're €22,000 short of the funding we need.
Your donation will change lives, like that of Marie Maude Compère:

“Thanks to successive loans, I've expanded my stock and better structured my business. Today, my income has tripled, I'm saving regularly and I'm financing my daughter's studies with peace of mind.”
Marie Maude Compère, PMS beneficiary
