On this April 20, the Organization of American States (OAS) joins the Haitian people in commemorating National Haitian Diaspora Day.
This day, officially established by the Government of Haiti in 2011, has its roots in a moment of profound grief and international solidarity: the devastating earthquake of January 2010. It was in this context that, during a forum held in March of that same year with the global Haitian diaspora, the Ministry of Haitians Living Abroad first presented the idea of dedicating a national day to recognize the essential role of its citizens abroad. We are honored to recall that this meeting was sponsored by the OAS.
The Haitian diaspora is a living, creative, and resilient force that positively impacts both Haiti and its host countries. With their remittances—which represent approximately 20% of Haiti's GDP—and their work, their intellect, their values, and their community commitment, millions of Haitians around the world contribute to building more inclusive and supportive societies.
From the Americas to Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, Haitians contribute in a wide variety of sectors: agricultural production, science, culture, entrepreneurship, and governance. This tradition of contribution is not new; it is part of the historical legacy of a people who helped forge the independence of several nations in our region.
Today, as Haiti faces immense challenges caused by violence, institutional instability, and a serious humanitarian crisis, this day takes on even deeper significance. The strength and unity between the diaspora and the Haitian people are essential to support the paths of recovery, dignity, and transformation that the country urgently needs.
On behalf of the OAS, I express our sincere admiration for the commitment of the Haitian diaspora. We reiterate our solidarity with the people of Haiti and reaffirm our willingness to continue supporting their efforts for peace, democracy, and sustainable development.
