A high rate of HIV & AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections combined with a lack of leadership to address the crisis in Haiti’s Cite Soleil area have resulted in a large population of disaffected youth who believe that this situation is hope¬less. As part of Management Sciences for Health’s “Leadership Development Program” funded by USAID in 2009, young participants from the Haitian NGO Maison l’Arc-en-Ciel (MAEC) learned that they can make a difference. In their rap song entitled “Apprends à faire face aux défis,” (Learn to Confront Challenges) they share what they have learned (in Creole with English subtitles).
