A Fonkoze-empowered client for over eight years, Marie Yolène Néus from Sorel, Haiti, says, “With Fonkoze, I continue to grow personally and professionally. As a businesswoman, I’ve learned a great deal over the years and am grateful for this.” Marie participates in Fonkoze’s social franchising health program, Boutik Sante, which brings much-needed health products, education and services to rural and remote areas throughout the country.
As a Community Health Entrepreneur, Marie procures various products from Fonkoze, including solar lamps, water purification tablets, and personal hygiene products to make available in her boutik sante (community health store). She has also been trained by one of Fonkoze’s registered nurses to conduct basic health screenings and deliver education sessions.
