Pedaling Opportunity Forward in Haïti
Thrive Haïti uses cycling, culture, and community to create access, wellness, and opportunity for Haitian youth.
WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW
Real Momentum. Real Movement.
Through our Vélo Lakay initiative, donated cycling equipment is preparing to reach communities in Haïti.
🇭🇹 On May 17, we gather for Ride & Fête 2026, our annual Haitian Flag Day celebration ride and fundraiser.
🤝 We are actively building partnerships to expand impact.
WHY IT MATTERS
More Than a Bicycle
A bicycle can create:
Mobility • Confidence • Fitness • Community • Opportunity • Hope
For many young people, access changes everything.
VÉLO LAKAY
Creating pathways for cycling access and opportunity in Haïti through donated equipment, community support, and long-term ecosystem growth.

Gear & Support Pipeline
We collect quality cycling gear and equipment, coordinate shipping, and work with local partners so Haitian cyclists and clubs receive what they need to ride safely and consistently.
-
Events | Rides | Centuries
We host community-centered events including our annual Ride & Fête, intimate gatherings, community mixers, group rides, challenging #CenturiesforHaïti 100-mile rides, or join road and gravel events to raise funds, awareness, and support for the mission.

Youth | Health | Community
Our long-term vision is to support youth cycling and clubs in Haïti - providing access to bikes, gear, mentorship, and a healthy, supportive community on and off the bike.
