Harnessing the strengths of all Haitians — at home and abroad — to build a prosperous, self-sufficient Haiti driven by commerce, capital, and culture.
H.A.I.T.I.E.N., LTD. is dedicated to helping Haiti as a nation and Haitians as a people break the cycle of poverty and charity — to achieve and sustain economic independence and self-sufficiency. We serve as a project developer, incubator, and coordinator to empower Haitian businesses in-country and internationally.
We believe in harnessing the strengths of all Haitians, at home and abroad, to build a prosperous, self-sufficient Haiti driven by trade, investment, education, and nutrition. We leverage Haiti's historical assets, tropical environment, and vibrant culture into investable, trade-ready opportunities across key sectors.
Every initiative we undertake flows from these four cornerstones of Haitian economic empowerment.
Tourism & leisure, agricultural and artisanal goods, tropical products, raw ingredients, and import/export growth across global markets.
Financial, economic, and infrastructural support for Haitian businesses locally and globally, including capital flow and job development.
Primary, secondary, post-secondary, business, and scientific education support for young Haitians building Haiti's future.
Food research and agriculture, production, transportation, marketing, preparation, and consumption — in Haiti and globally — to nourish a nation.
No nation on earth has a founding story like Haiti's.
In 1791, enslaved Africans in this Caribbean French colony launched the first — and only — successful Black slave revolution in world history. In 1804, rebel troops vanquished Napoleon Bonaparte's most elite forces, and Jean-Jacques Dessalines founded the nation of Haiti as a refuge for freedom and human rights for all people.
Haiti thus became the first nation in the world to ban slavery by law, the first Black republic on earth, and the second republic founded in the Americas — after the United States, which did not abolish slavery until 1863. Haitians then marched on to free their neighbors in the Dominican Republic from Spanish rule, and later helped liberate much of Latin America.
On the night of January 24–25, 2026, Marche Cluny burned to the ground in a widespread fire. Built by President Florvil Hyppolite in 1890, Marché Cluny was the commercial hub of Cap-Haïtien for over a century. It stood on a site that dates back to 1764 — once the Place Cluny, one of the darkest chapters of the Atlantic slave trade, later redeemed as the beating commercial heart of northern Haiti. It must rise again.
H.A.I.T.I.E.N. LTD. is ready to help in the coordinating rebuilding efforts. If you are a contractor, investor, or donor who wants to help restore this landmark to the people of Cap-Haïtien, contact the mairie of Ville Okap directly at VilleOkap@gmail.com.
