WORK is to accompanies families out of poverty through dignified work, and for good. They start by asking them where their greatest needs lie, and they address these challenges by co-designing solutions. Together, they remove barriers that stand in their way to success and finally, they invest in work for their families that provides a living income. Oftentimes, this is in the format of micro and small businesses that address needs in their communities, eliminating food deserts, enabling access to low-cost transportation and clean energy, and more. It also includes a growing number of small and mid-size recycling centers. What they are most proud of is that each income opportunity is dictated by their families, owned, and operated long term by them.

WORK’s mission is to accompany families in Haiti and beyond out of poverty through good, dignified jobs.
