We want to see a Haiti and eventually a wider Caribbean where distance from a traditional bank branch no longer decides whether someone has access to real financial tools. Where people don't just have a wallet on their phone, but actually understand how to use it. And where economic progress doesn't come at the cost of the land people depend on.
In a lot of rural and semi-rural parts of Haiti, traditional banking simply hasn't reached everyone. At the same time, mobile phones and mobile data keep getting more common, even in places banks haven't. That gap is an opportunity: public blockchain infrastructure like Celo can act as a bridge to financial services without requiring a physical branch on every corner.
Growth can't come at the environment's expense, though. That's why reforestation isn't an afterthought bolted onto a fintech project it's built in as a founding pillar, on equal footing with education and financial access.
By 2030, we want to see:
- Thousands of people who've completed financial and Web3 training in Haitian Creole
- An active community agent network operating across several departments in Haiti, and in other Caribbean islands
- Thousands of trees planted and tracked through our community-led reforestation work
- A governance model mature enough that other community initiatives look to it as a reference
