Haiti faces a severe crisis as gang violence escalates, impacting education and daily life. Schools like Collège Florian Ganthier (CFG) struggle to continue operations amid insecurity, with students facing psychological stress and disrupted learning. The country's political instability, exacerbated by historical and recent events, has left many without access to education, increasing the risk of youth joining gangs. Despite these challenges, educators remain committed to providing education, viewing it as crucial for Haiti's future. Calls for a locally led political solution grow, but international support remains limited.

In 2013, the Haitian government targeted Ile-a-Vache for a major post-earthquake tourism program, with investments over $200 million. The project turned into a nightmare, with vast sums spent and few completed projects. Seven years later, the island faces severe drought, and the population is poorer than ever. Residents have been dispossessed of land and resources, with insufficient or no compensation, and human rights violations have been reported. The fishing industry has declined due to unfulfilled promises and political favoritism. The project, part of a neoliberal strategy by the Martelly/Lamothe administration, has been criticized for its lack of inclusion of local populations and for being mired in corruption, with international companies involved in the mismanagement of funds. The situation on the island has not improved, with hotels closing due to a lack of tourism, and the island's population continues to suffer as corruption remains a major issue.
