Zafèn, Creole for "It's our business," soon will offer you the opportunity to lend or contribute to sustainable economic development projects in Haiti.

By providing support to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, together we can bolster the Haitian economy, create new jobs, and improve the lives of those living in some of the poorest conditions in the world.

Peer-to-Project Zafèn enables peer-to-project relationships in Haiti, rather than with individuals, encouraging greater sustainability of the projects.

Online Tracking Zafèn will allow you to track your loans, watch them return, then re-lend or withdraw – all online.

Real-Time Engagements You will explore projects and make contributions that are linked in real time to projects that need funding – Your funding goes directly to the project(s) you identify, not to backfill an existing loan.

Loan or Donate Zafèn offers a secure, easy and reliable online tool for making loans or donations to specific, viable projects in Haiti that has not before been available to those who wish to invest there.
