For four consecutive weekends, 50 young people from Fontamara will follow a practical and comprehensive program focused on creating viable and innovative microenterprises.

Key Objective: To strengthen entrepreneurial skills, stimulate creativity, and promote the economic independence of Fontamara’s youth.
The training, designed to be both theoretical and practical, is divided into four essential modules:
- Entrepreneurship: From idea to business model, legal status, vision, and strategy.
- Simplified Finance: Understanding turnover, profits, margins, forecasting finances, and managing cash flow.
- Marketing, Communication & Sales: Building your brand image, mastering sales techniques, and pitching your project.
- Emotional Intelligence: Developing leadership, managing emotions, and improving relationships.
At the end of the program, 50 young people will have been trained and at least 20 entrepreneurial projects will be launched, in areas such as services, recycling, crafts, and food. A supportive ecosystem will be established, bringing together mentors, partners, and local organizations to ensure the sustainability of these initiatives.
To amplify the impact of LESPWA POU DEMEN, the organizers are launching a call for grants, partnerships, and sponsorships. Public institutions, foundations, businesses, and donors are invited to support this program in order to create a model of sustainable change for Haitian youth.
