Mercy Corps has been operating in Haiti since 2010 and currently manage a range of programs in Canaan and Carrefour-Feuilles regions with funding from foundations and other international NGOs. We focus our work on economic development - through enhancing employability and job creation, improving access to business development services and credit options to expand micro, small and medium business, and promote innovative, social solutions for economic development.
