I understand your frustration.

There are a lot of people like yourself who have given up on Haiti.

A good friend of mine worked for the UNDP in Haiti for years.

He is an architect and engineer by trade.

He created a lot of projects for Haiti and submitted his plans to the government of Haiti (current and past) countless times.

The government never implemented none of the projects.

ZERO. Now the plans are sitting in a storage room full of boxes collecting dust. He even had tourism plans for Tortuga island! Finally, he asked to be transferred to another country.

He said that people who get in power in Haiti are very corrutpted.

They are not patriotic.

They only think about themselves.

If they are going to be in a position for 5 years, they will try to make as much money as possible.

Very selfish behavior.

He also said they are very disorganized.

No one gets along with each other and many are incompetent.

They also like to blame the U.S. government for the failure of Haiti as a country.

Although the U.S. always had a great influence on Haiti, if Haitians in power truly loved their country, the U.S. would not be an obstacle.

Of course, because Haiti is black a lot of countries do not care about it and would even like to see her death but I do not buy that as an excuse for these politicians not getting the country to progress.

Even myself, I proposed a plan who would have fixed Haiti but the government does not want to take anything into consideration.

My plan is to take a percentage of the remittances sent by the diaspora and used it for projects to build the infrastructure in Haiti.

I am not going to get into details about the plan because it is already within my past posts.

However, your name is Christian.

If you are also a christian, this means you must have faith and hope. A lot of people pray for Haiti, perhaps God will have mercy on her.
