Originally, I produced this post for Forbes in 2018. During my recovery, I’m sharing it again to refocus a bit of attention on strategies for impact in Haiti. Resenting the prevailing narrative about poverty in Haiti, Marc Alain Boucicault, 30, a Fulbright Scholar, and a former economist for the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, is putting his experience to work as a social entrepreneur, hoping to change the story and the economy.
Marc Alain Boucicault's Banj is rewriting Haiti's narrative with innovation. The first tech co-working space is transforming the economy by bridging gaps between classes and industries. Impressive progress in just a year, hosting giants like Facebook and Google, proves what's possible. Kudos to Banj for not just providing space but empowering entrepreneurs, solving infrastructure challenges, and changing perceptions. Here's to a brighter, tech-infused future for Haiti!
