About Little Haiti Global (LHG)

Little Haiti Global is a bold and groundbreaking international initiative creating vibrant, Haitian-rooted communities in welcoming host countries. Similar to Chinatowns, Little Italys, and Little Havanas around the world, LHG  communities honor Haitian culture and heritage while blending seamlessly into local society.

We provide a structured, voluntary relocation pathway for Haitians seeking to Relocate, Retire, or Reset with dignity, stability, and belonging.

Our mission is to restore dignity and opportunity by creating sustainable communities rooted in Haitian heritage and global solidarity. Each LHG community delivers core pillars of:
● Safe and affordable housing
● Access to education and vocational training
● Healthcare and basic health coverage
● Mental health & wellness support
● A sense of cultural belonging and integration

Any individual of Haitian descent who is seeking a voluntary opportunity to live in a supportive, purpose-driven community abroad.

No. LHG is a privately operated initiative. We partner with host nations, service providers, and community stakeholders to facilitate relocation, infrastructure, and integration.

Our services include safe housing, basic health coverage, educational and vocational training, and mental health and community wellness support.

  • Application & Background Fee: $1,500 (non-refundable) 
  • In-Country Investment Fee: $10,000 (covers essential services) 

Note: Travel, food, phone, and other personal expenses are not included.

Our communities are thoughtfully designed to be Little Haiti communities that preserve Haitian traditions while promoting cultural exchange and personal growth. We build a supportive, safe, and empowering environment that fosters long-term stability and investment opportunities.

Participants are placed in fully furnished apartments or townhomes with electricity, running water, and internet (where available). 

  • Every participant has their own private bedroom 
  • Most bedrooms include a private bathroom; some units may have shared bathrooms
  • Kitchens and living areas may be shared among roommates 
  • Housing is coordinated by the host country operator, Little Haiti LLC

Once fully accepted, participants receive an official acceptance letter. From there, you will coordinate your travel timeline. LHG provides guidance and instructions, but you are responsible for booking your own travel.

Once fees are paid and acceptance confirmed, participants receive:

  • Mental health services – Creole and English-speaking counselors to assist with adjustment 
  • Community activities – Building belonging, resilience, and growth

LHG selects secure locations and collaborates with host authorities to ensure a safe environment.

Programs include: 

  • English and local language training 
  • Digital literacy 
  • Vocational and technical training 
  • Workforce development and entrepreneurship resources

Participants may:

This is a scalable, long-term initiative. LHG plans to roll out communities country by country, creating a global network of Little Haiti communities.

To build a worldwide network of Haitian-rooted communities while nurturing the dream of returning one day to a safe and prosperous Haiti, strengthened by international solidarity.
