       Needs of Petite Rivière Artibonite

 
      1- Renovation of two schools:
               Louis Lamartinière
               Notre Dame de Fatima
(en cours)
       2- Support for the existing
vocational
              
school  in  the city  
       3- Sanitation
       4- Irrigation
       5- Street Identification
               (accomplished by ARENY in
               association with CORPRA & ARQ)
       6- Restoration of our historical monuments
                Fort Crête-à-Pierrot - 365 door Palace
       7- Restoration of the region roads
                Especially from Kafou Pèy to the
                city of Petite Rivière



Fort Crête-à-Pierrot
was the theatre of the famous March 24, 1802 battle among others that led to Haiti 's independence from France in 1804. This historical monument is not properly maintained
 


Once the pride of every Rivartibonitian, The 365 door Palace, pictured above, was built in 1816 by King Henri Christophe. This buiding is slowly dying. The relocation of government offices to the newly constructed building facilities has transformed the 365 doors Palace in an empty lot, leaky roof, and watery soaked walls.
I propose the creation of a COMMITTEE TO RESTORE  KAWA. 
Interested, email me: Asimeus@corpra.org
 


Tourism
can be a good source of revenue for Petite Rivière Artibonnite  Commune. If our historical monuments are well maintained, in addition to Nan Sikret and the Artibonite river, we can sell Petite Rivière to neighboring schools, vacation clubs, and churches etc. Guided tours of the city can be arranged. This will infuse funds in the local economy
