For four consecutive weekends, 50 young people from Fontamara will follow a practical and comprehensive program focused on creating viable and innovative microenterprises.

Key Objective: To strengthen entrepreneurial skills, stimulate creativity, and promote the economic independence of Fontamara’s youth.
The training, designed to be both theoretical and practical, is divided into four essential modules:
- Entrepreneurship: From idea to business model, legal status, vision, and strategy.
- Simplified Finance: Understanding turnover, profits, margins, forecasting finances, and managing cash flow.
- Marketing, Communication & Sales: Building your brand image, mastering sales techniques, and pitching your project.
- Emotional Intelligence: Developing leadership, managing emotions, and improving relationships.
At the end of the program, 50 young people will have been trained and at least 20 entrepreneurial projects will be launched, in areas such as services, recycling, crafts, and food. A supportive ecosystem will be established, bringing together mentors, partners, and local organizations to ensure the sustainability of these initiatives.
To amplify the impact of LESPWA POU DEMEN, the organizers are launching a call for grants, partnerships, and sponsorships. Public institutions, foundations, businesses, and donors are invited to support this program in order to create a model of sustainable change for Haitian youth.

On May 18, Haïti celebrates "Flag Day", a public holiday marking the creation of the Haitian flag in 1803. Displayed for the first time in Arcahaie by Jean-Jacques Dessalines, this national symbol results from the fight for independence against slavery and French domination. Established in 1926 by Timothée Paret, then Minister of Justice under the presidency of Louis Borno, this celebration took on a particular dimension in the midst of American occupation and remains as a tradition. Haitians honor this day with school parades, musical groups in the streets and patriotic songs, recalling the union and solidarity of ancestors. The “Flag Festival” is an opportunity to reflect on the values of freedom and determination which continue to forge the Haitian national identity.

The name "Haiti" is much more than just a word; it carries within it the history, culture and identity of a people. But what does this term really mean and what is its origin? Let’s discover together the richness of this word that resonates through the centuries.
Melchie Daëlle Dumornay is a professional Haitian footballer who plays in the first division of the French women’s league. She was born in Haiti, in a mid-sized town called Mirebalais, on August 17, 2003. At just 21 years old, she has become the only Haitian personality, regardless of gender or category, to be nominated among the 30 candidates for the prestigious individual award that is the France Football Ballon d’Or. Indeed, the 21-year-old finds herself — unsurprisingly — on the shortlist for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, alongside some of the biggest names in world football, after an exceptional season both individually — scoring 24 goals and providing 10 assists in just 31 matches — and collectively. She reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League (where she was named best player of the 2024-2025 season) and won the French league title with her Lyon teammates.
