Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the region a fact that has everything to do with bad past leadership and various other calamities such as the recent 2010 earthquake that rocked the country. It has been under heavy strain trying to keep up with the current trends in the various industrial sectors trying to promote the welfare of the country but with very little achievement.

It is thus not surprising that some of the young minds with a lot of energy are opting for easier and the as they see it the only way to make ends meet. They are engaged in these activities such as stealing sometimes with violence only because they have no other alternatives and if they have them no one gives them the chance to try them out.

However, the government is trying its best to keep up with the various programs aimed at helping and enabling al these young people get a good life as they deserve by introducing various programs and events that enable them achieve all this.
