Women in Haiti


Ilosemène had lost everything she had when her house burned down. Charité, who is a CLM member living in Gran Zèb in Western Boucan Carré, is her communion-sister. That is to say that they were part of the same communion class. She invited Ilosemène and her family into her home, and began to share the very little she had. Before that, Charité had begun to make real progress thanks to her own hard work and the support of her very committed case manager, Georges Zetraine, but the extra drag on the household's resources was threatening to drag her down again.

But thanks to your gift and his ingenuity, Georges was able to get Ilosemène out of Charité's house and into one of her own. She now has goats and a small pig, and is beginning to make real progress of her own.

Hébert has insisted that the two case managers currently working for HTF -- Georges and Anderson -- graduate 100% of the members they are responsible for. But it now appears the Georges will do better than that. Ilosemène should be ready to graduate with a cohort that she was not supposed to be a part of. He'll graduate 51 out of 50 members, or 102%.
