Unemployment is 70 - 80%. Compare that to America's 6%. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Haitians speak
broken French; otherwise known as Creole. The capital is Port-au-Prince. It is located on the island of Hispaniola along with
the Dominican Republic. It is in the Caribbean Sea and is apart of the West Indies. Most live in the capital where there are
terrible living conditions. Most Haitians live in one-room houses, with no sewage, electricity, or tap water. The slums they
live in are often overcrowded, and food is hard to get. There is a large amount of orphanages, and one can help the humanitarian
effort by sponsoring a child in an orphanage.
