> I don't have exact figures, but here is a chart of internet penetration in Haiti and other Latin American countries.
>
>
> As you can see, only about 12% of the Haitian population in 2014 uses the Internet regularly.
>
> Extrapolating from this, I would imagine that smartphone penetration is also relatively low in the country. This link says that mobile device usage is about 63% in Haiti (Mobile penetration rate in Latin America 2013, by country | Statistic <http://www.statista.com/statistics/218143/mobile-penetration-rate-in-latin-america-by-country/>).

> Why SMS Is Important in Developing Nations Like Haiti
>
> In countries like Haiti, where as much as 60% of the population may still be using dumbphones, SMS has proven to be one of the most vital telecommunication technologies.
>
> SMS is really one of the most underrated, but most powerful forms of technology of the world. If you think about it: it comes built in to every phone that exists. You don't have to download anything to use it. This makes it a fabulous tool for people in regions like Haiti who can't afford smartphones or data plans. It uses very little data, making it perfect for low-income people.
>
> For example, Haitians use services like Text Engine: Text Message (SMS) Search Engine <http://textengine.info/>to access information the the Web without the need for a smartphone, mobile web browser, or expensive data plans.

If we are afraid of being hurt we can close off our heart.The truth is the more we adapt our behavior to fear, the more we give it power, and the more it grows.
