ANAPOK SPORTS is a non-profit organization that will work to facilitate the practice and development of amateur sports (athletics) in Haiti. It will create, fund and manage sports tournaments and training programs for the benefit of the young people of Haiti. ANAPOK - SPORTS believes that through sports, it can make a difference in the lives of the young people of Haiti.

The primary objective of ANAPOK - SPORTS is to contribute to the development of sports in Haiti. In its role as a vehicle of development, it aims to unite the financial strength and sports expertise of all Haitians living abroad for the benefit of the Haitian youth.

ANAPOK - SPORTS will focus on identifying, financing and managing sports tournaments and training programs within Haiti. ANAPOK - SPORTS will seek to work with any elected government of Haiti, all Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), all international organizations, the local municipalities, the local sports commissions and the people of Haiti in putting to fruition all the projects identified by its directors. Where appropriate, ANAPOK - SPORTS will use both foreign and local expertise in its projects.

Reasons and Benefits
The long-standing political crisis in Haiti has had a negative effect on the participation of the youth in organized sports and the practice of sports in general. When things are not going well and resources are scarce, sports and youth programs are always the most impacted. In the Southern region of Haiti, long known for the quality of its athletes in sports like soccer, volley-ball, cycling, basket-ball, etc, the practice of organized sports has regressed considerably. The youth in this region are missing on the benefits of practicing organized team sports. Sports bring discipline, pride, responsibility, hope, self-confidence, teamwork, a sense of belonging, and good health among other benefits.

ANAPOK - SPORTS believes it is paramount for the future of the South of Haiti that organized sports become an integral part of the life of our young men and women, as it was in the past. A lack of leadership and a lack of financing are the primary causes for the degradation of youth sports in the Southern region of Haiti. The creation of ANAPOK - SPORTS will help in both the leadership and financing aspects. Although local and regional organizations should continue to function and grow, having the backing of a unique organization can bring structure and purpose to actions that are being taken by local sports leaders.

It is understood that Haiti cannot rely solely on the international community for the financing of its projects of development. Alternative and indigenous sources of financing must be found and generated. Haitians living abroad can and should become the primary agents of development of their country of origin. In doing so, they will be helping to change the image of Haiti in the world and also generate a renewed sense of hope in the future for the youth of Haiti.
