Lumarque said the program has helped hundreds of Haitians turn their informal street businesses into formal entities that keep records, pay taxes and have potential for growth. He said it has been a huge success — but stands apart from the usual strategy of foreign groups, including the Clintons, who tend to favor projects imposed by well-meaning foreigners that are more ‘about Haiti’ than ‘for Haiti.’” [Washington Post, 3/20/15] Washington Post: “The Clintons…Were Enthusiastic Backers Of The Caracol Industrial Park,” Built By South Korean Garment Company Sae-A In Haiti, And Secretary Clinton Even Helped Secure Funding When She “Lobbied For The Project With South Korean Officials And Hosted Sae-A Executives In Washington.” “The Clintons also were enthusiastic backers of the Caracol Industrial Park, which was built on 600 acres of farmland just east of the port city Cap-Haitien… The Clintons helped Haitian officials identify Sae-A Trading Co., which operates factories across the developing world and sews garments for giants such as Target, Gap and Wal-Mart, as a potential major investor.
