“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.” - Christopher Reeve
1. Stop Giving & Start Investing
- Foreign aid can eradicate local economies rather than help them become independent
and strong
- Foreign aid should be in form of direct investment, not in the form of tents and food
- Foreign aid can feed corruption.
2. Strong Government
A strong central government will make swifter decisions, speeding up the rebuilding of the country
3. Building Infrastructure*
- A healthy and educated population existing within a sense of safety will bring peace
and stability to Haiti
- New roads, harbors, railways, and upgraded airports will allow new goods and services
into Haiti, transporting them faster, more economically, and creating instant
commerce to stimulate the economy
- Creating commerce means create jobs, which will create tax revenues, allowing the
government to become self sufficient; creating revenues to build sewer systems to
prevent cholera outbreaks, build schools to educate the population for modern jobs,
and build hospitals to keep the population healthy

4. Tourism
- While the infrastructure is being completed, the resort development can begin
- Hotels & other investment companies will start building resorts
- Cruise ships and airlines will begin offering vacations of a lifetime
- Haiti will provide memorable safe experiences for tourists
5. Reinvestment
- With the resorts and infrastructure built it will create hundreds of thousands of jobs
- Jobs bring tax revenues
- Tax revenue needs to be reinvested into the country’s schools, hospitals, sewer systems, etc.
- This path of growth will benefit everybody, rich or poor
