Welcome to Cap-Haitien, Haiti (Okap)

Cap-Haïtien is a port city on the north coast of Haiti. It's known for its French colonial architecture. Facing the Place de la Cathédrale is the landmark early-20th-century Notre-Dame Cathedral. Northwest of the city, beaches include sandy Cormier. South, Laferrière Citadel is a hilltop fortress built by revolutionary leader Henri Christophe. The ruins of his 1813 Sans-Souci Palace are in the nearby town of Milot.

We are a group of friends, neighbors, native, volunteers and admirers of Cap-Haitien. It started with a group of friends, Richard, Philobert, Chil, Hugues and Meleck were conversing, lamenting and brainstorming about Haiti when the idea came up to start working on some type of projects that will impact or enhanced the lives of the people in their old neighborhood and expanding to the entire City.
