Why Thrive Haïti?

         Thrive Haïti sits at the intersection of:

  • Cycling: road, gravel, century rides, and community events
  • Youth development: focusing on access, skills, and long-term growth
  • Culture & Community: a global Haitian diaspora and allies with deep pride and connection

When you partner with us, you become part of a story that is:

    • Authentic: led by riders with Haitian roots and real ties to the community
    • Purpose-driven: centered on youth, wellness, and opportunity
    • Building momentum: through rides, events, and gear support that are already in motion

Your brand shows up where it matters: at the intersection of sport, culture, and impact.

 

What Partnership Makes Possible

         Your support helps:

  • Equip young riders in Haïti with safe, quality gear
  • Build a reliable Vélo Lakay pipeline for equipment and support
  • Power rides and events that raise awareness and mobilize community
  • Lay the groundwork for future programs: camps, clinics, competitions, and scholarships

Behind every helmet, pair of shoes, jersey, or tube is a rider who can train more safely, more consistently, and with more confidence.
