As part of the celebration of Mother's Day (last Sunday of May) we invite you to share a few special messages:

President of Haiti Jovenel Moïse :

"The Nation, on this special day, expresses its gratitude to the Haitian mothers for their courage and their commitment to the challenges they face. We will always remember the role they play in the building of our country and the development of our society.

Nan moman espesyal sa, Nasyon an koube li byen ba pou salye kouraj ak angajman Manman yo, ki toujou kanpe djanm devan defi ak peripesi lavi a. Nou pap janm bliye wòl Manman yo jwe nan mete nasyon sa a kanpe e nan konba yap mennen chak jou pou fè lavi fleri anndan sosyete a."

Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe :

On this occasion so badly marked by the great covid-19 crisis, I salute the courage and dedication of Haitian mothers. They are the foundation of the family and of society.

I salute their sense of responsibility, of duty, their unconditional love for their children, and above all their capacity for resilience in the face of the hardest and most difficult moments.

Haitian mothers are the symbol of the beautiful, the wonderful. They are our refuge.

At this time of great challenge for the nation and all of humanity, I wish you Happy Mother's Day, with the conviction, the determination that our dear Haiti will triumph !

Haiti is counting on your resilience to continue to amaze the world."

Former President of Haiti Michel Martelly :

Where there is mother, there is love;

Where there is mother, there is hope;

The mother is the remedy for all pain.

Happy birthday to all mothers in Haiti and the diaspora."

United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA-Haiti) :

3 to 4 women die every day in Haiti because of complications linked to pregnancy (Source - EMMUS VI-2017). Women who choose to be mothers should not lose their lives by giving birth. Protect women, protect mothers by ensuring they have access to quality health care. Happy Mother's Day !"
