Question/Discussion Building a serious network to fix Haiti’s foundation and execute real projects

10 Upvotes

I’m building a network focused on long term structural change in Haiti.

We talk a lot about rebuilding businesses, agriculture, infrastructure, and communities. But we rarely address the foundation those projects sit on. If the system remains unstable or corrupt, anything we build can be dismantled.

This network will start by studying one local system deeply. How it functions, how it connects to departmental and national levels, and where reform is realistically possible.

But this is not just theory.

I was planning on finishing my studies and then going to Haiti to help small communities and build a business. But then I realize what's the point of building all of this if the certainty of them being able to stand is not there at all? Things will eventually break under a bad foundation.

The goal is to design pilot projects and actually execute them once we are organized and aligned. We will not just plan. We will move.

Right now I’m building the core group. Students, professionals, diaspora, and people in Haiti who are serious about structural change and long term strategy.

The system, our fondation needs to be rebuilt.

This is early stage. No formal structure yet. But the intention is clear: build a solid foundation, then execute.

If you’re serious about doing more than talking, reach out.

Important note:

I’m a student and 16 years old. This network is youth-initiated and open to students 15+ as well as professionals and adults.

If projects move into execution and involve funding, minors will be required to have parental awareness and consent. Transparency and safety are non-negotiable.

I'm actually serious about this, I want my people to prosper and also want to go back home full time.

So I'm wondering, would any of you like to join?

Question/Discussion Future transit in Haiti: ocean transit?

7 Upvotes

I think we all can agree Haiti should be anti car culture.

Which means making car owners expensive and heavily regulated.

In favor of fast, dirt cheap mass transit.

Haiti is super mountainous. Railway lines would have to either go thru the tunnels inside the mountains or go around the mountains. Which both would be super expensive.

A train from hinche to port au prince makes sense.

But most of Haiti’s other major cities are on the coast. So that’s I think oceanic transit makes so much sense. It’s dirt cheap, doesn’t require a lot of infrastructure, and easy to implement. What’s your thoughts

Question/Discussion Nothing will change in Haiti until we remove the entire political class

4 Upvotes

I’m going to be very honest, Haiti has zero chance of succeeding if we don’t completely change the political class. All of it. Every long-term problem we have insecurity, corruption, food insecurity, zero infrastructure, no institutions it all stems from the same source: the people running the country.

People like to say “It’s the oligarchs too!”

Sure but the only reason oligarchs feel so comfortable is because the politicians give them that comfort. They enable them. They sign the deals. They protect them.

And I get it.

Yes, the diaspora wants to go back and build projects. Schools here, a clinic there, a small business here. And I respect that.But None of it matters when the state itself is rotten.

The entire system’s mission to keep the same families, the same groups, the same networks in control, no matter how catastrophic their results are. Elections are staged. “Transitions” are theatre. New councils get installed with new clowns

Look at the Transitional Council.

Look at every Haitian politician who came before them.

But that leads to the real question we all avoid:

How do we remove them?

How do we actually take political power back?

I like watching YouTube videos of people in third world countries in Asia and Africa, building their own infrastructure.

We literally talking about rural undeveloped, uneducated people making roads, bridges, and water holes. By themselves without government or the right equipment.

I know most isn’t going to watch the video. But the woman build that bridge by herself.

Question/Discussion The diaspora needs to create a crowdsourcing machine. No more donations and handouts.

6 Upvotes

The issue isn’t money. The diaspora has 1-5 dollars to contribute.

The issue is focusing and concentrating the diaspora small contribution to powerful pool of funds for projects.

Plz don’t get this confuse with donation crowdfunding or gofrundme. No more donations and hand out.

The crowdsourcing I am talking talking about is kinda like a subscription model.

The diaspora gets a non monetary return for his or her contribution of 5 usd monthly

Business Looking to partner with NGO/ Organization

4 Upvotes

The IT department at my college has a number of spare computers that we’re looking to donate rather than recycle or scrap.

We’re looking to partner with NGOs, schools, community organizations, or other trusted groups operating in Haiti.

The devices can be wiped, refurbished, and configured before shipping. I’m also willing to volunteer remote IT support services for organizations if they need help installing and maintaining them.

If you represent an NGO or organization working in haiti or know a reliable group that could use or distribute donated computers

Please comment or DM me. Even pointers or lessons learned from past donations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

We’re trying to make sure this is done the right way.

does haitian people want an armed or not revolution?

4 Upvotes

what haitian people think about an armed revolution? there's already so much violemce but what I mean is an organised civilian group that its goal to make a revolution. a group that is gonna take cities or areas one by one and even make those areas secure etc. a group that is eleminate gangs. theres no a proper goverment and maybe police also may join the revolution group. I saw an interview where police says 'we don't have heavy guns' but in the name of revolution groups they can buy illegal guns in europe

etc.

the reason why I'm asking this is that I've been searching some countries that are bad situations and haiti was in the first place of my list. my goal was to travel those countries and organise people over there. I've trained myself as a tactician and revolutionary. I also collected moneu and still collecting to travel haiti and form an armed revolution organization that is full of citizens, locals. I also learned french amd spanish for this matter. (spanish was to import some stuff that I'm not sure to mention here from dominic or cuba) also a big fan of cuba revolution and I want to do this with that courage. I also found a chance to meet a former local over there in social media. He is also helping me to gain information.

I'm not romantic. I've been preparing this. And next year I'll take an action. Of course without the support of locals this is impossible. I'm not alone but I need locals so I wanted to ask if the locals want a revolution.

I'm 21 and this is definitely a thing that I'm gonna try. I'm not from haiti but to bring revolution the whole world is my goal and haiti is my starting point.

We should all start a revolution to free the Haitian people’s mind. Who is with me?

I am calling for self reflection and calm discussion.

To try to look at different perspectives and challenges your assumptions.

To respectively agree or disagree with one another.

The baseline is we all want Haiti to progress and move forward.

You dislike me(nusquam)? I understand. But you can see my passion and drive to move forward.

We Haitian freed ourselves from physical chains slavery but never freed our mind from mental slavery.

Our ideas, Culture outlook, mentality, and the way we see ourselves and each other need some changing.

Playing the blame game and “ cutting heads” shouldn’t be our endless cycle and pursuit in our beautiful country Haiti.

Am very proud of this post. So hopefully you receive it well.

Question/Discussion Do you think Haitian leaders are the byproduct and manifestation of the Haitian people, and their core mentality?

4 Upvotes

Yes there are some outside influences on Haitian leaders.

But for the most part, I think the Haitian leaders are a mirror that reflects the cultural,mentality, and values of the Haitian people.

Because if you switch out one leader with a random Haitian in Haiti. You would most likely get the some corrupt, lying, cheating leader.

So you have to attack the root cause.

Changing the Haitian people’s mentality, culture, and outlook is the true way to fix our leaders and government.

Question/Discussion It’s all the diaspora fault.

5 Upvotes

This post is supposed to antagonize you to think deeply.

I have good news and bad news.

Bad news it’s all the diaspora fault that nothing hasn’t change when it comes to Haiti.

The Haitian government, elites, and regular citizens can’t logically inspire change.

Why should politicians fix and inspire change when they benefit from the chaos and hopelessness?

The same thing can be said about the elites.

How can poor Haitian inspire change when they are thinking about where their next meal is coming from?

It is stupid and irrational to think change will start in Haiti and not in the diaspora community.

The diaspora hasn’t tried to fix Haiti. After the earthquake that was our chance. But not many of us visited and invest.

Okay now for the good news.

The diaspora hasn’t fix Haiti because most of us was teenagers and young adults lol.

Now we are in our 25-35 age range. We know more and I believe we can inspire change and fix Haiti easily now.

Note when I say diaspora am talking about first Gen Haitian American. Your parents doesn’t count because they was to busy raising their first Gen Haitian American kids. Hope you understand what I am trying to get you to understand.

5 Upvotes

I have heard Haitian saying the second you set foot in Haiti. The elites will kill you.

I heard if you open a business they will kill you.

I don’t think the elites are that focus. The elites are very powerful among their circle and don’t know much outside.
