• Contact for Financial Transfers:  Fonkozé -- Haiti’s Alternative Bank for the Organized Poor is “an economic alliance of peasant organizations, women's collectives, cooperatives, credit unions, women street vendor groups, and religious communities, which assists grass-roots organizations in making the transition from political to economic activity by providing financial and technical services to its members. It is dedicated to building a democratic economy in Haiti by strengthening organizations, providing them with the capital and training they need to mount successful income-producing businesses.”  Reliable and timely transfer of funds to Haiti is possible through this bank.  Joan’s contact at Fonkozé is Dominique Colíman (based in New York; a relative of the Bishop of Port-de-Paix).
