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.

In 1804, Haïti emerged from the flames of revolution as the world’s first independent black republic, but its freedom would come at a steep price. France, a former colonial power, orchestrated an unprecedented economic revenge, weaving a web of exploitation and injustice that would hamper Haiti’s development for generations. This toxic relationship, marked by extortion and violence, not only shaped the destiny of one nation but also filled the coffers of another, leaving deep scars that persist to this day. Immerse yourself in this story, a gripping tale of colonial greed and resilience, which reminds us of the importance of never forgetting the injustices of the past and their lasting impact on our world today.

In the late 18th century, Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) was a prosperous French colony, producing much of the world’s sugar and coffee through the forced labor of African slaves. This wealth was based on a brutal plantation system, where slaves endured inhumane living conditions. Social tensions were high, exacerbated by racial inequality and the violent repression of slaves by the colonists. In the face of this oppression, slaves never stopped resisting. Maroons, escaped slaves, led attacks on plantations and maintained pockets of resistance in the mountains. The French Revolution of 1789, with its ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity, also resonated among the slaves of Saint-Domingue, awakening aspirations for emancipation.
