SISTER CITIES

Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale, Florida has been an official sister city to the beautiful city of Cap-Haitien, Haiti since 2009 under Fort Lauderdale's Greater Fort Lauderdale Sister Cities International (GFLSCI) program.  Over the years, GFLSCI has been organizing humanitarian and environmental programs to benefit the citizens of Cap Haitien, the second largest city in Haiti.

New Orleans

The Haitian Revolution had deep international repercussions. It ended Napoleon's attempts to create a French empire in North America and caused France to sell its holdings to the U.S. in the Lousiana Purchase. French colonialists from Saint Domingue (now Cap-Haitien) and ex-slaves poured into New Orleans. In 2019, New Orleans' mayor LaToya Cantrell signed a sister city agreement with Cap-Haitien's mayor Yverose Pierre.  Mayor Cantrell added that “the origins of this relationship and our shared history are born from the independence of Haiti and the doubling of the New Orleans population."

HAITI'S HISTORY

The Pearl of the Antilles - The Jewel of the Caribbean!

THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION AND THE POST-INDENPENDENCE PERIOD

The Haitian Revolution ushered in an unprecedented wave of freedom movements across the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. Haiti is one of the world’s most historic nations. Haiti is known as the first Black republic and the cradle of Black liberation and racial equality in the modern world. 

 

Following Haiti's independence, the western colonial powers, including the United States, imposed a stiff trade embargo on the newly freed nation for nearly a century until Haiti had compensated France for the loss of slave property, the enslaved people freed by the Revolution. Now over two hundred years later it is still plagued with deep and intractable poverty, political and economic problems that seem to form an impervious barrier to prosperity for its people. Recently, the country has been mired in political in-fighting, natural disasters and other calamities. Unfortunately those challenges have made it very difficult for Haitians to regain their economic footing and maintain a sustained course toward stability. 

 

RELAUNCH INTO A NEW HAITI

The H.A.I.T.I.E.N. organization was formed to help bring Haiti to its feet economically and help the Haitian people live with the pride and dignity that they deserve.  We believe that until Haiti becomes economically independent and self-sufficient, political stability will only be a fleeting dream that continuously promises a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, only to  disappoint again and again as the fog disperses.
