Children and Youth, Haiti

This two year USAID/Haiti program is allowing families to help finance their children's education through microcredit. The program is jointly funded and supported by USAID Microenterprise Development Office and uses loans to cover school fees, uniforms, shoes, transport and textbooks. By opening credit accounts, parents repay the loan throughout the duration of the school year and over time end up paying less for their children to complete school.
