“Countries should think of Haiti not as a place where to do charity but...” — Laurent Lamothe Quote

“Countries should think of Haiti not as a place where to do charity but a place where to invest and do business. And doing business in Haiti means poverty reduction.”

“Haiti is open for business!”

“The diiference is that in the private sector you work for yourself, and as Prime Minister I work for every single Haitian - inside Haiti and outside - and for all those who love Haiti as well.”

“If I do any kind of charity work, it catches attention immediately.”

“You don't do charity work for publicity. Well, I know I don't. Everybody's different.”

“If you don't improve the lives of the poor, it's not charity.”
