ABOUT

Founded in August 2018 by award-winning Haitian-American entrepreneur and ecosystem architect Shaïna Silva, #SHE_BUILDS is a platform that exists to unify Haitians in Haiti and across the diaspora, to build the future we imagine for Haiti.


 Moreover, through its global network of city chapters, the platform aims to increase the visibility of women leaders, builders, and innovators across the world, and equip them with the tools to scale their impact, and access global opportunities and value chains.

The GLOBAL SUMMIT

JULY 31 - August 2 | #SHE_BUILDS Leadership ONLY

 

On August 2019, #SHE_BUILDS Ambassadors, Deputies, Matriarchs, and special invited guests will convene in Haiti's capital city: Port-au-Prince for the inaugural #SHE_BUILDS Global Summit.

 

This momentous 3 day Summit which will unify city representatives from across 4 continents, will serve as a springboard for Haiti's most influential women to reconnect to their Haitian cultural roots, deliberate on the state of Haitian society and economy, exchange insights from our lived experiences, and set our goals for 2020-2040 decades to ensure a more prosperous Haiti.

THE Festival


August 2-3, 2019 | Public event

 

The Summit will conclude with the #SHE_BUILDS_THE FUTURE Festival, an event open to the broader public, designed to connect more women to influential global platforms, such that they can scale their impact locally, and globally.




Building the Future

"We are entering a new decade, which is a turning point in Haiti's history.

As such, we have an opportunity, and a duty to make radical changes that will set the tone for generation to come."

- Shaïna Silva, Founder #SHE_BUILDS Global Initiative
