A New National Sense of Pride

Jim Lange - CEO HR&DC

Haitian Nationalism?

At HR&DC, we believe “Nationalism” is a critical component for Haiti’s recovery and development.  For decades, Haiti’s unemployment rate has ranged from 50% to as high as 90%.  In addition to its unemployment woes, the Haitian people have endured numerous catastrophic events (hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, etc.) and years of corruption and manipulation.

As a result, the general sense of self-worth of the average Haitian is one of subservience and acceptance.  While this national sense of self cannot be easily replaced, it is the goal of HD&RC to replace subservience and acceptance with hope, meaningful work and some form of trade.
