Article 1 of the Haitian Constitution: The 6 Terms that Define the Republic of Haiti

Article 1 of the Haitian Constitution of 1987, amended in 2011, establishes the foundations of national identity. In one concise but powerful sentence, it states that Haïti is an indivisible, sovereign, independent, free, democratic and social Republic. These six terms reflect the fundamental values ​​and collective aspirations of the Haitian nation, forged through a rich and tumultuous history.

ARTICLE 1: Haïti is a Republic, indivisible, sovereign, independent, cooperative, free, democratic and social.



Let’s discover the meaning and importance of each of these principles in the context of the Republic of Haiti.

- Key figure: Haïti has 10 administrative departments, but they all operate under a single national entity.
- Concrete example: The national motto, "Unity is Strength," illustrates this commitment to unity.

6. Social: a commitment to justice and equity

The social character of the Republic emphasizes the reduction of inequalities and the promotion of collective well-being. This includes initiatives to improve education, health, and living conditions for citizens.

- Concrete example: Community programs aim to strengthen infrastructure and reduce poverty.
- Notable fact: Approximately 60% of the Haitian population depends on agriculture for their livelihood, highlighting the importance of social policies.

An article that embodies the essence of Haiti

Article 1 of the Haitian Constitution is much more than a legal text. It is a declaration of the values ​​and aspirations of a nation proud of its history and identity. These six terms – indivisible, sovereign, independent, free, democratic, and social – encapsulate the vision of a unified, strong, and resilient Haiti.

By celebrating these principles, every Haitian is called to contribute to a Republic that honors its past while building a promising future.

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.
