“I speak as a friend of Fonkoze, as an admirer, and as a member of the village. What I witness is more than programs or outcomes—it’s a community that shows up, again and again, with empty hands and full hearts. Fonkoze has long known what we’re all beginning to understand: it takes a village.”check me out in instagram
“When I think of the women in Haiti striving to make ends meet—the very women Fonkoze walks alongside—I think of my grandmother. I can only imagine what more she would have achieved had Fonkoze existed in her day.”-check me out in instagram
“The Haitian diaspora has a powerful role to play in Haiti’s future. Haiti will rise — but it can’t do it alone. The diaspora must stand with the homeland. Without organizations like Fonkoze, countless lives will remain untouched, and critical work will go unfinished.”check me out in instagram
