Who We Are
The voice of the Haitian community in South Florida and beyond.
About Us
We are more than just a radio station — we are a cultural bridge that connects generations, preserves our language, and keeps our community informed about politics, social issues, education, and global events.
For over two decades, Radio Haiti Amerique Internationale has been the heartbeat of the Haitian and Haitian-American community in South Florida. Broadcasting 24 hours a day in French, Haitian Creole, and English, we educate, inform, empower, and entertain thousands of loyal listeners at home and abroad.
Our mission goes beyond radio — we are a trusted source of news, culture, and community connection. From breaking stories and in-depth discussions on politics and social issues, to uplifting programs about faith, education, and music, RHAI ensures that every voice in our community is heard and represented.
Over the years, we have become a symbol of unity and resilience, preserving the Haitian culture while embracing the diverse realities of our diaspora. Listeners tune in not just for information, but for a sense of belonging, identity, and pride in their heritage.
At RHAI, radio is more than sound waves — it is a lifeline that connects people across generations, across cities, and across borders.
