On January 12, 2010, a massive earthquake destroyed the capital Port-au-Prince, killed 300,000 and displaced hundreds of thousands more.
Though Les Cayes, MPM's home base, is 125 miles away and outside the impact radius, the earthquake's impact was felt. Families lost loved ones, the flow of goods was interrupted, and communicable diseases like cholera spread. An already fragile country faced more adversity.
MPM's families persevered. They continued working, attending school, and hoping for a better future.
Helping people advance their lives with dignity
MPM stands for "Moun Pou Moun," pronounced [moon pooh moon] and means both "people for people" and "person by person" in Haitian Kreyòl. It was inspired by the poem "Rev" ("Dream") by Haitian poet JanJan Dezire. This eloquently captures our personal approach to poverty alleviation through self-advancement in Haiti. Working since 2005, MPM Haiti is embedded in the community as a trusted partner and resource for Haitians who want to improve their lives for independent success.
Our programs have empowered individuals to advance their lives through relevant skills and opportunities: Education, Microfinance Education and Loans for Women, Water Purification, and Health Education for Families.
