Facilitating Financial Literacy in Miami

Women’s Fund of Miami-Dade and partner Sant La Haitian Community Center provide financial literacy to women

In 2006, 52% of female-headed households in Florida were considered at or below the poverty level and 70% of births to Haitian women in Florida occurred within families with incomes of $15,600 or less.

Many of these Haitian women face linguistic and cultural challenges that hinder them from utilizing financial institutions and tax benefits to increase their fiscal independence.
