Dominican Diaspora urged to invest in Dominica
Dominican business owners living overseas are being urged to invest in the country in order to create job opportunities.
The call was made by President of the International Foundation for the Development of Haitians (IFDH), Petit Louis Acceus .
“We have to tell people about Dominica to come to invest in Dominica, that means when people from overseas come here to invest that is opportunity for Dominican people,” said Acceus .
“ We get people who have money to come and invest, the good thing, light will pay, social security will pay and more people will be employed…everybody will get a piece of that bread.”
He also encouraged Dominicans to help the IFDH that was established in 2012 to assist Haiti in the aftermath of the massive earthquake that rocked the French speaking Caribbean nation in 2010.
“We call on the public to continue to support the foundation,” he noted. “We are trying to put measures in place where we can assist more Dominicans and Haitians.”
The foundation has in the past, reached out to Dominicans.
In November 2015, the IFDH assisted persons who were affected following the passage of Tropical Storm Erika.
