La Gonave Island, located off the western coast of Haiti, has long been in need of revitalization. The Citizens Action to Rebuild La Gonave (CARLG) is an ambitious project that aims to provide a solution to this problem. The project has two main components: the construction of a modern university and the establishment of a state-of-the-art hospital.

The La Gonave Development Project
The Modern University of La Gonave will offer a wide range of degree programs including business, economics, criminal justice, law, finance, dentistry, pharmacology, technology, nursing, medicine, architecture and more. The university campus will feature modern housing for professors and students, and a technical/trade school for those who want to learn a trade. The university will serve as the center of a new community, with the construction of a supermarket, pharmacy, sports stadium and even a mini-airport.
The Legacy Hospital of La Gonave will be a state-of-the-art facility equipped with a helicopter to transport patients from other areas of the country. The hospital will also have a research laboratory and will be staffed by highly qualified experts.
The CARLG Crowdfunding Initiative
The CARLG project is funded through the support of citizens of La Gonave, Haitians in the diaspora, and friends of Haiti from around the world. The goal is to raise $50 million through a network of 500,000 donors who will each commit to donating $100. The project is committed to transparency, and all financial statements will be publicly available on the website.
Transforming La Gonave: The Citizens Action to Rebuild Initiative
The initiative aims to build a thriving, modern community on La Gonave. To ensure the safety and security of the project, the initiative will work closely with local authorities to build a police station and fire department near the university campus. Access to reliable electricity is also a concern, so the initiative is committed to powering the entire campus with a combination of diesel and gasoline generators, as well as solar panels. The initiative is also committed to fostering community engagement and collaboration, which is why an online social media platform has been created.
In conclusion, the citizens Action to Rebuild La Gonave is a call for all Haitians to come together and work towards a common goal of revitalizing the island. The project has the potential to serve as a blueprint for other communities to follow and will provide access to education, healthcare and a modern infrastructure for all.
