Member Profile: Wislene Dely
My name is Wislene Dely. I am a member of AJS (Asosyasyon Jen Sel/Youth Association of Sel). I am 20 years old and live with my family in Sel, but I go to school in Rivye Blanch.
I decided to join this organization for many reasons. Both my mother and father are AJS members and I see how membership has benefited them. My mother is a vendor and my father is a farmer. Their active membership in AJS has given them opportunities to improve our family’s lives and learn about ways to benefit the community.
I am very thankful to AJS for having encouraged my parents to allow me to pursue my education. Many of the girls my age in my community are no longer in school. They have to help with household chores.
Travel to Haiti
Join us on the delegation to Haiti next March. See firsthand some of the grassroots organizations partnering with Lambi Fund. Email us at to get a delegation application.
My mother attended many Lambi Fund leadership conferences where women discussed the importance of attributing to their daughters the value they deserve. For this, I am grateful to AJS and very grateful to the Lambi Fund for helping me achieve my educational goals.
I am on track to becoming a teacher once I have completed my studies.
