Empowering Haitian Youth Through Debate, Mentorship, and Human Rights Education

march 23, 2025 | Ayiti Demen

The Joint Leadership Youth Initiative (JOLYI) is a collaborative effort among FOKAL’s Youth Initiative Program, Basketball to Uplift the Youth (BAL), and the National Human Rights Organization, providing educational, civic, and leadership opportunities for young people. Operating in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, Cité-Soleil, Croix-des-Bouquets, and Cap-Haïtien, the initiative focuses on youth in violent neighborhoods, schools, and juvenile detention centers.

JOLYI engages young people through human rights training, juvenile prison monitoring, tutoring, mentorship, basketball-based leadership development, and debate training and tournaments. These activities foster critical thinking, civic awareness, and personal growth, empowering youth to become agents of positive change in their communities.

FOKAL’s key component of the initiative is the Youth Initiative Program, which promotes debate as a tool for civic engagement. Through structured discussions, participants develop their analytical skills, practice public speaking, and explore complex social issues related to democracy, justice, and the rule of law. In 2024, with the JOLYI project, the program initiated its collaboration with BAL’s youth networks, enabling more young people to benefit from structured debate training and civic education.

In December 2024, an annual debate tournament was held in Martissant (Port-au- Prince), bringing together six teams from Fontamara and Carrefour. Given Martissant’s high levels of violence, this event provided a rare and crucial opportunity for young people to engage in meaningful dialogue. The theme of the 2024 debates—Haitian migration—enabled participants to explore the root causes, consequences, and potential solutions to this pressing issue, presenting well- reasoned arguments in a structured setting.

Across the country, 14 debate clubs meet regularly, with each group engaging around 20 young participants in preparing for tournaments, analyzing current affairs, and discussing social issues. Young debaters are also leveraging technology—such as blogs and text messaging—to expand their conversations beyond physical meetings, ensuring their voices contribute to broader public dialogue.

By combining education, mentorship, and civic engagement, JOLYI is equipping young people with the skills and confidence needed to build a better future. The initiative fosters collaboration among organizations and creates safe spaces where young people can develop their intellect, leadership skills, and commitment to social change.

Help Us Save the Citadelle Henry Archives Project in Haiti

Help Us Save the Citadelle Henry Archives Project in Haiti

dec 2nd, 2024 | Ayiti Demen

Haitians call the Citadelle Laferrière (Citadelle Henry), commissioned in 1805 and completed in 1820, their 8th Wonder of the World because it stands as a testament to their victory over slavery. This landmark, constructed in the early 19th century following Haiti’s independence from France, is both a National Historic Site and a UNESCO World Heritage site, symbolizing freedom for all Haitians.

The Cap-Haitien Citadelle Archive Project is working to safeguard a diverse collection of analog materials related to this historical landmark, but they need our support to acquire up-to-date scanning equipment and continue digitizing tens of thousands of historical archives. Unfortunately, libraries, archives, and museums in Haiti are being targeted by gangs who destroy everything in their path. There is an urgent need to digitize these invaluable collections.

In collaboration with Le Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince, Ayiti Demen is asking for your generosity to support the Cap-Haitien Citadelle Archive Project, which also partners with the Institute for the Safeguarding of National Heritage (Institut de Sauvegarde du Patrimoine National, ISPAN).

The project focuses on digitizing a vast collection of analog materials from the 1970s–1990s restoration project of the Citadelle Henry and the Sans Souci Palace. This includes 8,500 slides, 1,300 prints, 14,000 negatives, 865 architectural drawings, and more than 400 documents and reports. The project also aims to digitize, store, and make available all other materials related to ISPAN’s efforts to protect Haiti’s built heritage.

Preserving this irreplaceable archive, along with the documentation collected by ISPAN’s inventory programs of Haiti’s built heritage, will be invaluable for future generations of Haitians. The goal is to digitize these materials to protect them from the ravages of time and ensure they are accessible to the public. Digitization will not only preserve these documents but also allow them to be easily shared with researchers, students, and history enthusiasts worldwide.

You can explore some of the work on the UCLA Library website and the dLOC website (Digital Library of the Caribbean). However, your financial support is needed to continue this vital preservation work.

Giving Tuesday: Support the Haitian Farmers today !

dec 2nd, 2024 | Ayiti Demen

On March 1, 2024, armed gangs and other individuals looted the National Association of Fruit Processors (ANATRAF) offices and warehouse in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti. ANATRAF is a non-profit organization that helps hundreds of smallholder farmers grow fruit and process it in local workshops. On March 1, the unthinkable happened: armed gangs stole or destroyed all the finished products they had already processed (such as jams, chocolates, cassava, mamba, alcoholic beverages, etc.), all the raw materials (cocoa, alcohol, sugar, etc.), and all the materials and inputs contained in the store (mills, mattresses, refrigerators, control equipment, bottles, jars, training materials, etc.), including a stock of 7 tons of cocoa. This is a massive loss for a small non-profit organization like ANATRAF. It took them years to reach that level of organization and autonomy.

The proceeds of this campaign will temporarily help ANATRAF relocate its operations to the south of Haiti, sustaining 70 fruit producers. They can no longer work in their warehouse in Croix-des-Bouquets, which is overrun by gangs. The project will address the following key areas: Supply Chain Reconstruction in the South, Infrastructure Rehabilitation, Product Diversification and Value Addition, Community Engagement and Capacity Building, and Risk Management. 

Your donation will enable ANATRAF to mobilize its network of small fruit growers to supply two centers in southern and northern Haiti and rebuild its supply chain strategy.

ANATRAF’s relocation to southern Haiti offers lasting benefits. It will stimulate production by creating new jobs, benefit smallholder farmers in the South and North, and ensure the sustainability of ANATRAF’s activities. ANATRAF’s food processing role strengthens local nutrition and production in the country. By prioritizing sustainability across economic, social, and environmental dimensions, ANATRAF guarantees long-term development benefits for local communities.

More about ANATRAF:

The Association Nationale des Transformateurs de Fruits (ANATRAF) was created on June 12, 2002, by a group of thirty-seven processing units. In agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Rural Development (MARNDR), and with the support of the Projet Rural Franco-Haïtien, this initiative aimed to strengthen processing units to meet the significant challenges facing the processing sector in Haiti. ANATRAF specifically targets farmers in search of sustainable livelihoods. Thanks to the association’s various interventions and support, the country now has over a hundred workshops spread across the 10 regions of Haiti, 70 of which are ANATRAF members.

Building Community Centers in Rural Haiti_2

Five rural areas in Haiti will soon have a community space where they can meet, relax, store seeds and goods, and learn. Ayiti Demen’s board chairperson, Michèle Pierre-Louis, led a delegation to several towns in the Grand Sud region of the country from February 13 to 17, 2023 to present and discuss the concept of these community centers with local residents and community leaders.

The idea for this project came about in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in August 2021, when several local organizations approached FOKAL for support in the rebuilding of their community. “It was difficult to build a house for each family,” said Madame Pierre-Louis during a community meeting in Barradères. “We wanted to do something that would serve the whole community.”

Building Community Centers in Rural Haiti

For now, five of these multi-purpose buildings will be built, with some already under construction. They will include training rooms, meeting spaces, performance venues, and lodging for community members. Andrea Panizzo, an architect who has been working in Haiti for 13 years, was selected as the design architect for the community centers. Two center models, incorporating typical Haitian architectural elements and using more efficient steel to withstand earthquakes, have been created based on community input.

The Open Society Foundation and SOKA Gakkai have provided the financial resources for this project, while local organizations have donated the lands for the construction of the centers. Mrs Pierre-Louis is calling for community involvement throughout the construction process. “It is a local effort, with local skills, for local use,” she said.

Ayitika is a local company based in the southern part of Haiti, dedicated to producing high-quality chocolate from scratch. What sets Ayitika apart is not only its delicious chocolate, but also its commitment to fair wages for farmers and sustainable farming practices.

From the beginning, FOKAL has been a champion of Ayitika’s mission. They provided critical funding that allowed a group of young people to purchase 10 hectares of land, allowing them to grow more cocoa and expand their production. In addition, FOKAL stepped in with cash assistance after the devastating earthquake in 2021, helping farmers stay in business and ensuring the continuity of this impactful project.

Haitian Ladies Weekend Network

From October 6-8, 2023, the Haitian Ladies Network hosted “Haitian Ladies Weekend: Igniting Our Power” in Washington, D.C. Ayiti Demen was thrilled to be a part of this event for the second year in a row.

Hundreds of women of Haitian descent from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Haiti came together for networking, educational and cultural activities at this vibrant three-day event celebrating Haitian culture and professional achievements. In her keynote speech, Michèle Montas, a former spokesperson for the United Nations and an award-winning journalist, shared her commitment to human rights. In 2022, Michèle Pierre-Louis, Ayiti Demen’s Board Chairperson, was the keynote speaker.

During a plenary session, attendees also watched a video featuring our own Michèle Pierre-Louis and Allenby Augustin, Executive Director of Le Centre d’Art. The video showcased the exciting rebuilding of Le Centre d’Art and invited everyone to get involved and support this significant project.

Haitian Ladies Network Weekend

Throughout the event, Ayiti Demen hosted a table in support of Le Centre d’Art and conducted outreach activities. We engaged in one-on-one conversations with attendees to present them our mission and emphasize the importance of the arts in preserving culture and empowering communities in Haiti.

The weekend also featured a variety of sessions, including yoga, forums on engaging with Haiti, technology discussions, financial management workshops, and inspiring stories in the HerStory segment. Additionally, attendees enjoyed shopping at a pop-up market featuring Haitian women-owned businesses and capped off their days with cultural celebrations featuring dance and music. The Brunch on Sunday brunch was also a highlight of the weekend.

The Haitian American community in the U.S. is significant, with approximately 1.1 million people living primarily in Florida, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. This community has a major impact on the cultural and economic fabric of the country. In 2022, Haitians living abroad remitted about $3.1 billion to Haiti, accounting for nearly one-third of the country’s GDP. Most of this money, about 84%, comes from the United States, helping Haitian families meet essential expenses and stabilizing the country’s economy.

The 18th Annual Haitian Ladies Network Weekend was a fantastic opportunity to network, learn and celebrate the rich heritage and contributions of Haitian women. We look forward to continuing our involvement in future events and supporting communities in Haiti through the arts.

The 5th edition of the Haiti Funders Conference was held in Washington, D.C. from June 12 to 14. Haiti Demen and FOKAL were pleased to be part of this event. Co-organized by the Haiti Development Institute (HDI) at the Boston Foundation, the Foundation for Knowledge and Liberty (FOKAL), and Ayiti Demen, the event brought together nearly 200 participants and 57 panelists representing 123 organizations. Over the course of three days, participants engaged in more than twenty plenary and breakout sessions, artistic performances, and several powerful keynote addresses.As the keynote speaker, Michèle D. Pierre-Louis, FOKAL’s president and Ayiti Demen’s chairperson, provided a comprehensive overview of the current landscape in Haiti and the critical role of philanthropy in driving forward-thinking solutions.

Michele Pierre-Louis, FOKAL's president and Ayiti Demen's board chairperson, delivering a keynote speech at the 5th Haitian Funders Conference

“Yes, we live in a world of violence, unsafe for all. Even scientific progress creates major disruptions in our planetary system by contributing to pollution, health issues, and climate change. The crisis has penetrated our minds and threatens our human dignity. […] Paradoxically, there is another side in ‘this moment’, that of hard work, resistance, solidarity, empathy, a world of care, learning, community engagement, good causes, radical joy and hope. That is where philanthropy plays a major role if we are faithful to its etymological meaning: philos love, anthropos, humankind.”

Despite the efforts of various partners, the situation in Haiti has deteriorated over the past five years, particularly due to increasing insecurity in the Ouest and Artibonite regions. The Haiti Funders Conference provided a valuable opportunity to discuss development issues in this fragile context. It brought together investors, funders, donors, diaspora and nonprofit leaders, and other stakeholders to strategize on how best to support the Haitian people and Haitian-led initiatives for change. Yvens Rumbold, Ayiti Demen’s executive director, captured the conference’s spirit perfectly: “Two words came out in every conversation here: collaboration and partnership. Because we have a duty to do better than in the past and our collective brain here is powerful. We can do better than what the world is doing now in Haiti.”

Initiated by the Haiti Development Institute, the Haiti Funders Conference series is dedicated to increasing the volume and impact of philanthropy directed toward sustainable economic and social development in Haiti. This highly participatory event encourages existing and new actors to engage deeply with Haiti’s development challenges and opportunities.

The 5th Haiti Funders Conference was more than a gathering; it was a call to action. By fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration among a diverse group of stakeholders, the conference laid the groundwork for an effective, sustainable partnership for development in Haiti. As Yvens Rumbold pointed out, the collective power and commitment of participants can lead to better outcomes and pave the way for a brighter future for Haiti.

Empowering Women in Haiti: The Story of Fanm Deside

June 22, 2023 | Ayiti Demen

For over three decades, Fanm Deside has worked to support Haitian women in the South of Haiti by advocating for violence survivors, promoting financial independence, and providing education and training..

In the summer of 2021, a devastating earthquake followed by a destructive hurricane struck southern Haiti, leaving Marline Joseph, a 37-year-old mother of three, unemployed and struggling to rebuild her life after her home collapsed. In the midst of this despair, Marline found a ray of hope in organizations like Fanm Deside (Women Decide).

Marline reached out to Fanm Deside for help, and the organization responded by offering her vital financial assistance. “The money they provided allowed me to buy food and maintain my household during these difficult times,” she says with a sense of relief and gratitude.

A catalyst for change

Originally established in 1989 as “Fanm Deside Mete Tet Ansam” (Women Decide to Stand Together), Fanm Deside was founded by ten Haitian women and three Canadian nuns who shared a common belief in the power of women to effect positive change. Rooted in Jacmel, a town in the southeast side of Haiti, the organization set out on a mission to transform the lives of women in the country.
“Our goal is to transform the lives of women in our society.”

Supporting survivors of violence

At the heart of Fanm Deside‘s work lies a commitment to supporting survivors of violence, including sexual, physical, and spousal abuse. “Our trained supporters provide personalized assistance based on the survivor’s preferences,” says Nathalie Cadet, the administrator of Fanm Deside, explaining the organization’s approach. She continues, “In cases of physical or sexual abuse, we ensure they [survivors] receive immediate medical attention and obtain a medical certificate. If desired, we can assist with legal action, as we collaborate with a legal team to handle the legal aspects.” Furthermore, Fanm Deside provides a safe haven where survivors can share their experiences and offers temporary shelter as a space for healing and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Educating for lasting change

Fanm Deside is also instrumental in helping women achieve financial independence. Its support includes the provision of funds for activities related to agriculture, livestock, storage, gardening, and the promotion of solidarity among women.
“We don’t just hand them [women] cash, we actually show them how to make the most of it.”
Nathalie Cadet, Administrator of Fanm Deside

With a grant from the FOKAL-Haiti Relief Fund after the 2021 hurricane, Fanm Deside implemented a program that benefited 160 women, some of whom received financial assistance to create economic activities. “We don’t just hand them cash, says Nathalie, we actually show them how to make the most of it. We also promote this cool thing called mutual solidarity, where they learn to save some of their earnings. It’s not just about benefiting the women themselves, but it also has a positive impact on their entire families.”

Education is an important part in what Fanm Deside is doing. In addition to assisting in paying school tuition fees for some women, the organization offers various training programs designed to enhance personal development and empower women to make positive changes in their communities. 

Marline has been an active participant in the organization’s activities, including culinary workshops and literacy training, for the past three years. She speaks proudly of her expertise in traditional Haitian cuisine: “I can make ginger powder, grated ginger, ‘pomad’, ‘kremas’, and even coffee and chocolate. […] I have acquired all these skills through Fanm Deside‘s programs.”

The vision for the women in Haiti

When asked about her vision for the future of women in Haiti, Marline emphasizes the need for respect and equality in the country. She dreams of a society where women’s rights are recognized and where gender equality is not just a concept, but a reality. Marie-Ange echoes these sentiments and stresses the importance of women’s participation in politics: “Women must have a seat at the table and actively participate in decision-making processes because their contribution is crucial.” Support our efforts to empower women in Haiti
