Empowering Women
Haiti’s women are the heart of its communities and economy, leading nearly half of households and driving local industries like agriculture and commerce. Yet, they continue to face significant inequality.

Supporting Women, Strengthening Communities
Fanm Limye Association has been empowering women in Haiti since 2013. Through the Women Illuminated cooperative, 32 beekeeping groups have been established in the West and Nippes Departments, creating new opportunities for leadership and economic growth.

Honey and Beekeeping Program
Purpose: Fanm Limye Association's beekeeping initiative aims to address the shortage of high-quality beeswax for Fanm Limye’s handmade candles. This program also introduced a new revenue stream with natural honey.
Scale: The program has trained 1,100 beekeepers organized into 32 groups across Haiti.
Production Potential: A single hive can yield approximately 4.25 gallons (51 lbs) of honey and 5.1 lbs of beeswax per year.
Beekeepers can reinvest profits to scale up, potentially growing to 29 whole hives in 10 years.

Candle-Making and Economic Growth
Fanm Limye (Illuminated Women): This cooperative produces artisanal candles using locally sourced beeswax, which aligns with sustainability goals.
Partnership with Fanm Limye Association: The organization provides business and vocational training for women-led artisan businesses, enhancing their sustainability and growth potential.
