Haiti, officially the Republic of Haiti, is a Caribbean country. Its capital is Port-au-Prince. Haitian Creole and French are the official languages. Haiti's regional, historical, and ethno-linguistic position is unique for several reasons.
It was the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean, the first black-led republic in the world, and the second republic in the Americas when it gained independence in 1804 as part of a successful slave revolution lasting nearly a decade.
It is one of only two independent nations in the Americas (along with Canada). It is the poorest country in the Americas as measured by the Human Development Index. Political violence has occurred regularly throughout its history, leading to government instability.
The island has had a history of destructive earthquakes. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010 and devastated Haiti. The highest reliable death count was estimated at 220,000. The Presidential palace, Parliament and many other important structures were destroyed, along with countless homes and businesses, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless. The country has yet to recover from the 2010 earthquake (and other incidents).
USA Equal Platforms Blog, GVeria Project Success, wants to share global awareness of the problems and strive to reach goals of ways we all can help as a world community to give back to our Haitian communities..
