Granmoun Tet Nou is a phrase in Haitian Creole that loosely translates to “self-empowerment,” or “our best selves.” It’s also the name of WE Charity’s entrepreneurship program, helping families forge financial independence in Haiti. Watch the group launch the next phase of their micro-enterprise at the local goat market.

Our history in Haïti dates back to 1999, expanding to full WE Villages programming in 2010. Focusing our efforts in the most rural and underdeveloped area of the country, the Central Plateau region, we work in six rural communities in the mountains outside of Port-au-Prince to:

Remove obstacles and improve access to quality education for rural children
Ensure that rural populations have access to essential services like water and health care, allowing them to sustain themselves in the countryside.
Promote rural community development and support efforts that prevent Port au Prince from becoming a concentrated hub.
Help Haiti realize its goal of universal education.
In January 2010, when the 7.0 earthquake struck, WE Villages immediately responded with a strategy focused on protecting children and supporting the population of internally displaced persons (IDPs), particularly those who relocated to the Central Plateau.

About WE:
WE is an organization that brings people together and gives them the tools to change the world. A unique family of organizations, WE is made up of WE Charity, empowering change with resources that create sustainable impact, and ME to WE, a social enterprise that creates socially conscious products and experiences that allow people to do good through their everyday choices. The celebration of that change happens at WE Day – inspiring stadium-sized life changing events that take place around the world. A movement of 3.4 million young people supporting 2,500+ local and global causes, we’ve provided more than 1 million people with clean water and built 1,000 schools and schoolrooms overseas, giving more than 200,000 children access to education. WE was founded more than 20 years ago by humanitarians, activists and social entrepreneurs, brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger.
