COFHED

Today is an incredibly special day. Not only are we welcoming the year 2025 but our beloved Haïti is celebrating 221 years of independence. Haïti, we love you! And to our ancestors who fought bravely and tirelessly for our freedom - we salute you!

MOFADEL (Microcredit Organization of Active Women for the Development of Lougou) which is Lougou’s female-led microlending enterprise, celebrated another year in business. The microcredit has been celebrating their anniversary/success by hosting an annual community gathering where there are expositions by their female business leaders, music, dance and revelry. Because MOFADEL has franchises in other communities near Lougou, folks from all over the local area joined in the fun.

For us working at COFHED, it’s a humbling and powerful experience to see villages come together to build their economies and celebrate their mutual accomplishments.

Our co-founder Madeleine Maceno Avignon will be featured on a primetime CNN news segment at 2pm CT / 3pm ET tomorrow to share about COFHED and our transformative work in .

This opportunity comes as a part of Madeleine's participation in the John Lewis Fellowship with the United States Institute of Peace, which she has been engaged with since May in Washington D.C.

Be sure to tune in to CNN to watch Madeleine, and please also pray for God to multiply this amazing opportunity to share COFHED to millions of people across the world.
