About

AyiboPost is a media organization dedicated to enhancing the Haitian media ecosystem by creating and delivering high-quality, accessible, and digestible content. AyiboPost’s content is created locally and acutely understands the local context while complying with international standards. Founded in 2014, the organization produces explanatory, engaging, and multimedia content that reveals critical truths about Haitian society and brings forward voices often left out of mainstream narratives.

With UUSC’s support, AyiboPost is expanding its reach through multilingual reporting (in Haitian Creole, French, English, and occasionally Spanish), investigative content on issues such as discrimination, education, public health, and economic policy, as well as partnerships with grassroots Haitian-American organizations, all while navigating the existential security threats it is facing during Haiti’s ongoing political, human rights, and humanitarian crises.

UUSC and AyiboPost have worked together since 2022, and currently, UUSC provides AyiboPost with grant funding that supports work shifting the US media’s narrative of Haiti. The pervasive narrative that the US and international media push of Haiti is that it is a small, impoverished country that is riddled with violence and misery. AyiboPost seeks to correct this narrative by producing content and materials that illuminate Haiti’s true history, as well as its culture, and the ways in which Haitian people resist violence and oppression every day.
To date, AyiboPost has published numerous articles and pieces of content that share what is happening on the ground in Haiti. These publications help keep Haitians in Haiti and in the diaspora as well as other international communities informed.
