Partnering with other organizations, including the the Clinton/Bush Foundation, Calvert Foundation is making this investment through a newly created fund called Haiti Emergency Liquidity Program (HELP). HELP Haiti will breathe new life into the microfinance system in Haiti, providing fresh capital and some flexibility to three microfinance organizations whose pre-earthquake peformances were solid and effective in helping Haitian microentrepreneurs succeed: ACME, MCN, and FINCA Haiti. The new fund will allow these organizations to bolster their capabilities to serve current customers and take on new ones. The fund will also provide technical assistance and training for microfinance organizations and their borrowers. Most importantly, HELP Haiti will help avert a significant reduction in microfinance operations, which will help Haiti's working poor and contribute to recovery and reconstruction efforts. | | | | | | | | Calvert Foundation's CEO praised in recent Huffington Post article A recent article on the Huffington Post highlights the important achievements that Calvert Foundation CEO Shari Berenbach has helped create during her 13-year tenure.
