For more than fifteen years, Kay Tita has been rooted in Port-au-Prince, standing alongside young leaders, entrepreneurs, and neighbors who are determined to build opportunities in one of the world's most challenging environments. From the devastation of the 2010 earthquake to today's climate of political instability and violence, our community has faced unimaginable obstacles. Yet, through it all, the spirit of resilience has remained unshaken.
Every year, thousands of young Haitians graduate with skills, knowledge, and dreams for the future. But in a country where more than 80% of college-educated professionals live abroad due to a lack of opportunities, too many are left with nowhere to go. This "brain drain" has hollowed out Haiti's professional sectors, leaving a generation of youth with untapped potential. Our focus at Kay Tita is to change that story by creating pathways where none exist.
These programs prove a simple truth: Haiti does not lack talent, creativity, or resilience; it lacks pathways.
This November, we are hosting a special virtual gathering, "Pathways for Port-au-Prince: A Gathering with Kay Tita," to reflect on the achievements of our community and to share our next steps. Together, we'll explore how to continue building spaces of safety, creativity, and opportunity, and how you can join us as a partner, supporter, or mentor.
Haiti's future depends on creating structures that retain and empower its young people.
