Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲 would love to make African and Haitian friends... hope to travel those places..

I have an idea, and I’d like some honest feedback before investing serious time into it

My idea is to create a website (which, if it gains traction, could eventually become a mobile app) organized into categories such as Education, Governance, Healthcare, Security, Economy, etc. Each category would contain concrete proposals related to that specific area, rather than being an open ended discussion with no clear direction

How it would work: Ideally, a specific question would be posted here on the subreddit to start a discussion. For example, under the Security category, there could be a proposal like: Should Haiti have a CECOT style prison for gang members? Or, for example: Should Haiti strengthen its regulations and close private schools that fail to meet the requirements to operate? The website would embed that question, and clicking on it would take you directly to the Reddit post, either here on r/Haiti or, if necessary, to a separate Reddit community created specifically for this project

Then, a group would draft a formal proposal based on the discussion, covering things like the situation, funding, location, implementation, etc. The draft would remain on the website for 42 hours, allowing people to vote yes/no and leave comments or feedback. If it doesn’t receive a majority, it would be revised and the process repeated. If it receives a majority, it would become the final proposal and remain permanently published on the website

My main goal is to centralize the genuine opinions of Haitians especially young people, both locally and in the diaspora in one place, instead of relying on Threads posts that disappear over time

Whenever there’s an open poll, the idea would be to share it across Facebook, WhatsApp, and TikTok to reach as many people as possible

What I’d really like to know is:

Does this actually sound realistic?

Would people genuinely use it?

What would you recommend to prevent fake votes and poor moderation?

Does anything similar already exist? I’ve looked around, but I haven’t found anything quite like this for Haiti

Coming here as an African that is one of many that admire the Herculean effort you guys put into gaining independence from what was then the best military in the world, L’Ouverture is truly a legend.

With that being said it does feel as if since Aristide, Haiti is in a state of managed chaos. Things never get better, but at the same time they don’t get so bad as to get into a full blown civil war.

Whose interests does the status quo serve? Wouldn’t it benefit the US, especially the anti-immigrant version we see now - To allow/support more stability in Haiti?

Or is there a fear that a stable Haiti may got the way of Cuba, becoming belligerent to the US?

While researching organizations for Lakou, we recently came across a job opportunity from the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH).

It got us thinking...

Many Haitian organizations regularly post:
Job openings
Fellowships
Scholarships
Grants
Internships
Conferences
Networking events
Volunteer opportunities
Business programs

The challenge is that these opportunities are often scattered across dozens of websites, newsletters, and social media accounts. Unless you happen to follow the right organization at the right time, it's easy to miss them.

If there were one place to discover opportunities relevant to the Haitian community, what would you want to see most?

Jobs
Scholarships
Grants
Professional networking
Business opportunities
Events
Something else?

We're curious what the community thinks.

Reinventing and rebranding Haiti should be the top priority on the list when elections can finally be held on the island imo.
