Old Haiti - Why are they so poor?

French Debt

In the year of 1839, Haiti made a debt of 150 million franc with French for the fine they need to pay. Haiti spent more than 80 years and finally got payed in the year of 1992.

Education

Only 30% of the children ever started school, but only 2% of the 30% went beyond 5th grade


Trading Routes

Even though Haiti has Port-au-Prince for trading goods, but it is too expansive and too risky with loosing their goods.

Lack of Water

Like every one know, water is one of the most needed material in the life of human, but in Haiti the only place that is provided with indoor water is in the rich houses near Port-au-Prince, because oif that people get sick and needs medical service which is very hard to get.
