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 Friday, July 26, 2024, the eyes of the world turned to Paris for the highly anticipated opening of the Olympic Games. As flags flew and excitement mounted, Haïti captured the attention and imagination of millions of spectators. In a spectacular parade, Haïti proved that it could compete with the world’s greatest powers, not only on the playing field, but also on the fashion and cultural catwalk.
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.

As the new season of Rara looms on the horizon, certain groups such as Saint Jacques Majeur, Ratyèfè, Florida Band, Lambi Grand, and Grap Kenèp are already preparing to light up the streets of Petit-Goâve with their flamboyant costumes and their captivating melodies. For these groups, the future looks bright, promising a season full of passion and success. However, other rara bands are still hesitant about which direction to take. Despite these uncertainties, optimism reigns regarding the success of this new season for all rara groups in the commune of Petit-Goâve. Rara, anchored in the Vodou tradition, is much more than a simple artistic manifestation. It embodies the very essence of Haitian culture, highlighting questions of memory, tradition and identity. This increasingly popular form of artistic expression attracts a large audience and arouses unprecedented enthusiasm. Groups like Ratyèfè, Grap Kenèp, Florida Band and Chenn Tamaren, recognized for their ability to delight their fans, play a crucial role in the continued growth of rara in the town. The rara season traditionally begins on Dead Thursday and ends on the night of Easter Sunday or quasimodo Monday. To mark the beginning of this sacred period, groups organize opening ceremonies, honoring the spirits of the deceased in rituals steeped in spirituality. These ceremonies, often held in cemeteries or in the "Bitasyons" of groups, symbolize the deep link between the rara and Vodou traditions.
