Haiti
A Humanitarian Crisis

Haiti, once celebrated for its glorious revolution and the proclamation of independence from the French Colony in 1804, is currently mired in an ongoing humanitarian crisis that has demoralized the nation. The situation has been exacerbated by a series of catastrophic events, notably the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in August 2021 and the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021, leading the United Nations to classify Haiti as a “multi-dimensional humanitarian crisis.”

As of 2023, Haiti faces a dire state of humanity, with conditions plunging to a level where survival is the primary concern. The nation is trapped in a quagmire, presenting a living nightmare for its people. Daily economic turmoil further worsens the plight of the Haitian population, calling for a merciful helping hand from those willing to uplift them from this inhumane predicament.

The country grapples with severe infrastructure deficits, particularly in education, healthcare, employment, and sanitation. Since the 2010 earthquake, Haiti still contends with a strained population of orphans, and the lack of affordable healthcare results in thousands of deaths. These inhumane conditions demand global attention and assistance to alleviate the suffering of the Haitian people.

Haiti, despite being endowed with fertile soil, untapped natural resources, a rich history, culture, and resilient people, remains the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Over half the population lives below the poverty line, relying on subsistence farming for survival. The majority lacks access to electricity and running water, contributing to widespread issues such as anemia, food insecurity, and personal safety concerns.

With nearly 90 percent of Haitians living below the poverty line, as reported by the World Bank on April 13, 2023, the situation is dire. The need for intervention is urgent, and while numerous organizations are assisting Haiti, the scale of the crisis requires more support. The citizens of Haiti, known for their entrepreneurial mindset and potential, only require a helping hand to create sustainable solutions.

Freedom’s Dream Global has collaborated with three grassroots non-profit organizations in Haiti focused on agriculture, clean water supply, and a prison/healthcare ministry. These organizations, established by ordinary individuals with innovative ideas, address the dire needs of their local communities.

The mission and goals of Freedom’s Dream Global are to raise global awareness and financial support to combat the inhumane conditions faced by Haiti’s citizens. The organization believes in creating sustainable solutions one community at a time, relying on the leadership of individuals in Haiti and global support to “educate, uplift, and inspire” the people and the nation.

In the midst of Haiti’s persistent crisis, the organization highlights the commendable entrepreneurial spirit of its citizens and their latent potential. The call to action is unequivocal: “Together We Can.” Individuals and the business community are encouraged to contribute based on their capacity, offering financial support, in-kind donations, and purchasing our products to aid Haiti. The organization firmly believes that “A Little Help Goes a Long Way” in creating a substantial impact on the lives of the Haitian people.

HER HISTORY

The renowned monument in Cap-Haïtien, dedicated to the Battles of Vertières, stands as a testament to the significance of the Haitian Revolution, marking it as “…the final pivotal conflict in this transformative period.” Haiti is celebrated for its rich history as the inaugural “Black Republic of the Americas,” guided by Toussaint-Louverture. He boldly declared the abolition of slavery, leading former slaves in a courageous struggle against France from 1791 to 1804. This historic period witnessed Haitians becoming the first black population to break free from the chains of slavery.

HER CULTURE

The meal depicted above was graciously served to me, the founder, by a lovely family residing in the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

One iconic dish highlight is Soup Joumou, the national delicacy traditionally savored on Haitian independence Day, January 1st. Comprising squash, beef, pasta, and root vegetables, this hearty soup symbolized the freedom Haiti achieved in 1804.

A Call To Action

Lend a Helping Hand

HER BEAUTY

“Before Haiti established its independence from French administration in 1804, Haiti ranked as the world’s richest and most productive colony” — “named by the French, (The Pearl of the Antilles), because of its natural beauty”. The country is rich in untapped mineral resources; agriculture is rich with coconuts, pineapples, and mangos trees in abundance. The ground is very fertile, producing delicious organic fruits and vegetables.

HER STRUGGLE

In Haiti, the essence of daily life for many men, known as “Bouretye,” involves carrying a load of goods on their backs that would typically require a tractor-trailer. Haitians labor tirelessly from dawn till dusk, often earning less than $5 US dollars per day just to secure their daily sustenance and put a meal on the table. Ninety percent of Haiti’s population grapples with overwhelming poverty, enduring immense strain and stress—a humanitarian crisis that is deeply shameful for any people to endure
