The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was a period of conflict in which enslaved African people and free people of color fought against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue, the French colony that is now Haiti. After years of struggle, the Haitian people were victorious and established an independent republic in 1804.

Since gaining independence, Haiti has faced many challenges. In 2010, a devastating earthquake struck the country, killing tens of thousands of people and leaving hundreds of thousands more homeless. Despite these challenges, Haiti remains a vibrant culture with a rich history and a bright future.

Haiti Today

Haiti is a country located on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea. The western third of the island is occupied by Haiti, while the eastern two-thirds constitute the Dominican Republic. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with an annual per capita income of US$790 and a life expectancy of just 54 years. Nearly 60% of the population lives below the poverty line and 24% live in extreme poverty.

The Haitian economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, which employs approximately 60% of the workforce but only accounts for 15% of GDP. The main crops grown in Haiti are coffee, cocoa, rice, maize, sorghum, and millet. Remittances from Haitians living abroad account for nearly 30% of GDP and are a vital source of income for many families.

Haiti has a long history of political instability and violence. The country has experienced multiple coups d’état and periods of military rule. In 2010, Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake that killed over 200,000 people and left 1.5 million homeless. The country is still recovering from this disaster; however, progress has been slow due to corruption and mismanagement.
