The haiti hope project - a partnership to help 25,000 farmers double their fruit income - is helping to find a solution. Haiti hope brings together public and private partners, including the u.s. Agency for international development; the coca-cola company; the multilateral investment fund, a member of the inter-american development bank group; and technoserve. The project is partnering with local financial institution sogesol to implement a loan program for farmers, who are largely excluded from the haitian financial system. Some 1,400 farmers have received loans, and the program aims to enroll 7,500 borrowers by 2015.
