In a context where the efforts of young people often go unrecognized, Rivalpromo509 stands out with an initiative that shines like a beacon in Haitian society: the Honoring Young People Ceremony. This annual event, now considered a national project, aims to reward, promote, and inspire young people who transform their communities through their leadership, creativity, and positive impact.

This ceremony was born from a simple observation: in a country like Haiti, those who work for social, educational, cultural, or health change are rarely honored during their lifetime. Too often, recognition comes late, sometimes after their departure.
With this event, Rivalpromo509 sends a strong message: the true builders of our society must be honored today, as long as they continue to act and inspire others.
Since its inception, this initiative has generated genuine enthusiasm:
- Young people redouble their efforts to be selected.
- Community leaders feel supported and motivated.
- Partner companies find a concrete way to support local initiatives.
The positive feedback received after each edition has pushed Rivalpromo509 to be even more rigorous in its selection criteria and to expand the event’s reach to all departments of the country and the Haitian diaspora.
This year, two major new features stand out:
1. The Tribute to Institutions and Businesses Six organizations that support community action and create spaces for youth will be honored.
2. The Mini-Conference "Building from Communities" A 45-minute discussion led by two respected figures to inspire and train future leaders.
Date: November 9, 2025
Location: Karibe Hotel Port-au-Prince
Participants: Public figures, media, community leaders, young people from the capital, the departments, and the diaspora.
A total of 25 young people will be honored this year. This symbolic number sends a clear message: being part of this circle means that your work is recognized and respected. It also represents a commitment to continue serving the community with determination.
For Youth:
- Community Involvement
- Leadership
- Positive Impact
- Participation in Social, Cultural, and Educational Activities
For Institutions and Businesses:
- Support for Community Action
- Support for Youth Initiatives
- Creation of Employment Opportunities
- Strengthening Community Confidence
The organizers point out that social projects are often the most difficult to finance and gain recognition. However, they emphasize that consistency, patience, and faith in one’s project always pay off.
If you believe in yourself and your project, it will come true, no matter the obstacles.
In a country searching for positive role models, this ceremony plays a crucial role:
- It encourages young people to get involved despite the challenges. - It strengthens the social fabric by building bridges between communities, institutions, and businesses.
- It changes the perception of leadership and success, emphasizing impact rather than personal glory.
Rivalpromo509 doesn’t just organize an event: it builds a movement, a network of young leaders determined to move Haïti forward, brick by brick, community by community.

Haiti, an independent republic since 1804, is a country located in the Caribbean, precisely in the Gulf of Mexico. Occupying the eastern part of an island that it shares with the Dominican Republic, it extends over an area of 27,750 square kilometers. Famous for its tropical climate and tourist attractions such as Labadie, Cocoyer Beach, the Citadel and the Sans Souci Palace, the country attracts visitors from all over the world. Its diverse landscape includes impressive mountainous terrain as well as coastal plains which play an important role in its economy. Among its natural attractions are the majestic Massif de la Selle and inland fishing areas such as Lake Azuei. Despite its natural wealth, Haïti faces major economic challenges, including deforestation and land degradation, which hamper its sustainable development.
In a town struck by insecurity and economic problems, where survival becomes a daily struggle, some refuse to give in to chaos. In Carrefour, a city plunged into the spiral of violence that eats away at all signs of life, Pierry Denejour embodies this spirit of resistance. Aged around thirty, the native of Port-au-Prince is not only a merchant. The only son of Evena Denejour – a "Marijàn" whose name he proudly bears –, the entrepreneur has transformed his love for art into a passion that lights up his life. A collector of paintings on canvas, he is also the founder of DEP-ARTS Production Multi-Services, a company he launched on December 2, 2018, which is now celebrating six years of active presence in the Carrefour community. Specializing in the sale of electronic equipment, MonCash and NatCash services among others, DEP-ARTS has built a solid reputation in six years. But beyond its commercial activities, it is through its ability to establish relationships of trust and support community initiatives that Pierry has established itself as a key player in its community. Under his leadership, DEP-ARTS is much more than a company: it is a symbol of hope in a town in search of renewal.
