We have made more than 20 workshops. We have already reached more than 5000 young migrants Haitian. Directly and indirectly we reached 30 000. The app T-zen has more than 11 000 downloads. Our goal for this 2022, is to get more than 15 000 downloads. We hope to help 200 Haitians as jobbers/entrepreneurs.
