YABT HAITI is particularly dedicated to the promotion, the development, the implementation of the Business Lab project and other development programs here in Haiti. Through a series of follow-up programs such as the Nex Links, YABT in DC will evaluate the progress made in the areas in which we intervened.

It also tends to work on specific and reality-adapted programs on Business Training, Entrepreneurship Development, Leadership Improvement and Technological Awareness.
