re: I just don’t understand how Haiti has all these problems

They sold, for very cheap, a lot of their natural resources, and all the money went to a few corrupt people.

The very few wealthy in that country sold out their own countrymen for short term gain.

That's the typical pattern in these former colonial areas. There isn't really an easy fix.

You can't skip steps in development and just emerge in the developed world. This goes back to the foundational, core belief in Tabula Rasa that Leftism reverts into.

The ultimate irony is that this was a former Leftist argument explaining how the USSR "wasn't real communism", because the same socio-economic "step skipping" is why Russia could never become true Marxism.
