About Thrive Haiti
Wheels down! Our Mission is in Motion.
Thrive Haïti exists to empower young people in Haiti through cycling, wellness, and community. Providing access, education, and opportunities - locally and internationally. We’re a bold nonprofit startup building a movement—and you’re invited to ride with us.
Founder's Story
From Brooklyn to Haïti, One Vision Drives Us Forward.
Moved by several tragic events that occurred in short intervals in Haiti in 2021, and how they escalated the needs of the people who had already endured decades of political turbulence and economic disintegration. Handal Alouidor founded Thrive Haïti Inc. in 2022 to bridge opportunity and empowerment through cycling. A Haitian-American community member and athlete, Handal brings a vision rooted in heritage, joy, and hope. He saw the potential for something bigger: a youth-focused initiative in Haiti that blends sport, culture, and purpose.
Why We Ride
Cycling is more than just a sport. It’s a tool for mobility, resilience, leadership, and joy. In Haiti, where infrastructure is limited and opportunity uneven, cycling represents freedom and possibility. We believe every young person should have access to that.
Our Partners
We’re proud to work in collaboration with the Haitian Cycling Federation, Haiti’s national governing body for the sport. This partnership ensures that our programs are locally rooted, professionally supported, and built to last. We are also actively seeking corporate, philanthropic, and community partners to help turn this vision into reality.
