Entrepreneurial Center

Sparking Economic Development

Haiti is understood – correctly – to be a place with many challenges. But for talented people with an entrepreneurial mindset and the right tools, big challenges mean big opportunity. The Kwasans Entrepreneurial Center will develop and support new generations of homegrown businesspeople and entrepreneurs who can help Haiti turn the corner to create sustainability, growth and prosperity, whether they choose to work in government or the private sector.

Currently under construction in Hinche, Haiti, the Center will be a branch of the University of Notre Dame Haiti’s Hinche Campus, which is just a few miles from the site, with business programs and degrees offered through the school. It will also be a nexus for business contacts, sources of capital and other resources.
