A moment of emotion, satisfaction, and hope

The closing ceremony was an intensely emotional moment. The event culminated with the "Best Website" challenge, a stimulating competition where each team had to create a website for their school. Creativity and innovation were on full display!

The grand winner? The Adventist College of Cap-Haïtien, which brilliantly integrated a virtual reality tour directly into their website. This technical feat impressed the jury and demonstrated the exceptional potential of our young talents.

Coding Club Haiti: Catalyst for Digital Transformation

Founded by Appolon Guy Alain, Coding Club Haïti is a dynamic community of passionate developers committed to creating innovative projects with economic and social impact.

This community works to democratize digital learning and create a sustainable technology ecosystem.

I believe technology can be an economic lever in Haiti. I dream of seeing Haitian platforms emerge internationally and bring enormous economic benefits to the country.

71 Certificates Awarded: A New Generation of Budding Developers

71 schoolchildren received their certificates, rewarding their remarkable commitment and determination. Parents, friends, and school officials witnessed exceptional achievements that portend a promising digital future for Haiti.

Future Vision: Expansion and National Impact

Coding Club Haiti’s ambition doesn’t stop there. For the coming years, the organization plans to:

- Integrate more schools into the program
- Expand the program to various other cities across the country
- Provide personalized support for young talent to bring their projects to fruition

A Tangible Socioeconomic Impact

These budding young developers aren’t just learning: they’re already innovating! Several projects with strong social and economic potential are currently being developed, with the continued support of Coding Club Haiti.

August 29, 2025, will be remembered as the day Cap-Haïtien laid the foundations for a truly Haitian digital revolution. NUMECO is not simply a training program: it is the first chapter in a transformation that will place technology at the heart of Haiti’s socioeconomic development.

Towards a digital future for Haiti

With NUMECO, Coding Club Haïti is laying the foundations for a sustainable technology ecosystem, training the next generation of Haitian developers and opening new perspectives for the future.

August 29 marks the end of NUMECO, but also the beginning of a future where technology will be at the heart of Haiti’s socio-economic transformation, not through grand speeches, but through concrete projects,

Haïti Wonderland: How to Rewrite the Narrative of Haïti on the Web?

For the last three decades the internet has transformed the way people live, access information and promote worthy causes. Institutions that embrace this technology lead the way in their respective industries and last, while countries that embrace this technology and wisely implement it enable themselves to thrive and build sustainable economies. After decades of existence, the internet has been shared with mainly two groups of people; those who use it as a tool to build, and those who use it as a tool of destruction. Those who see the internet as a bridge to make a positive impact in the world and those who see it as the comfy bed to never leave, hence, the difference between the consumer and producer. Unfortunately our beloved home, Haiti, has been of the former mindset. Is it a lack of vision, lack of skills and competences or is it lack of hard working individuals? Regardless what it is or had been for decades, now is the time to change the paradigm on all fronts necessary and reshape the future. If the past decades have been ruled by non-production and negative press, now is the time to change the paradigm by producing and using the limitless of the web to sell the beauty, the culture and the greatness of Haïti to the rest of the world. If the past has been ruled with a selective truth and an effort to showcase the worst and by extension create the worst narrative, now, my fellow Haitian, regardless of where you are on this planet, is the time for us to undertake this mission, to take responsibility and recreate the narrative of our mother land. A narrative based on truth and transparency, a narrative that tells the story of who we are and certainly who we are not, a narrative to invite the world to explore and see for themselves. It is our duty. If not now, when? If not you and I, then, who? Our main mission at Haïti Wonderland is to rewrite the narrative of Haïti on the web. Then use the internet to bring Haïti back to the top of the touristic destination map once again. Those are what motivate us, the oxygen that we breath, they are the reason we wake up in the morning and fight. We didn’t choose this path because we know it will be easy but we choose it because: 1. It is a noble cause 2. It is necessary and 3. It must be done. But must importantly we take this path because we know you and every Haitian in this world, who knows the truth about Haïti are tired with what you see when typing Haïti on the web, and at the same time understand that something must change, and it must be done as soon as possible. We know you are ready for this, and together we will change the narrative of Haïti on the web and we will bring Haïti back to the top of the touristic destination map. This is a call of duty to you, regardless of your field of endeavor or where you’re located in this world. This is a call to join (http://haitiwonderland.com) to first see for yourself the movement you’re joining, then create your own account and start creating and sharing. Together we will rewrite the narrative of Haïti on the web. Thank you for joining this worthy cause. Let’s invite the world to discover the true face of Haiti.
