IN 2013, NOT LONG AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE, PCAT STARTED WORKING IN HAITI, BY PROVIDING BUSINESS MANAGEMENT TRAINING TO 100 WOMEN IN CAP-HAITIAN AND LAUNCHING A WOMEN-LED CANDLE PRODUCTION AND EXPORT COMPANY CALLED FANM LIMYE (WOMEN ILLUMINATED), A FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS, WHICH IS 97% OWNED BY PROSPERITY CATALYST WITH EACH OF THE REMAINING SHARES OWNED BY TWO PCAT BOARD MEMBERS AND THE CURRENT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
