24. No it doesn't and most articles seem to be in some agreement that what as proposed didn't pan out.

But still why don't these workers make the minimum wage and what is being done about it? Seems like it's been an issue for a LONG time, I don't see how Hillary is to blame for it, but you are correct that she doesn't appear to have fixed it either.

Greg Milne, director of the Clinton Foundation’s Haiti Program, said projects include efforts that have helped more than 2,000 small farmers, an artisan-goods company that employs more than 300 people, a fish-farming operation, a cholera treatment center and improvements to schools in some of Haiti’s poorest slums.

Clinton supporters also point out that their successes have come amid Haiti’s chaotic political situation — parliament is not functioning and President Michel Martelly, dogged by scandal, is ruling with virtually no checks on his power — which is marked by endemic corruption, weak institutions, poverty, poor public education, terrible roads and other factors that have historically made it extremely difficult for development efforts to succeed.
