On Saturday, October 18, 2025, Georges Wilbert Franck, Minister of Social Affairs and Labor, participated in an open house organized by the National Old Age Insurance Office (ONA) as a prelude to the institution's 60th anniversary celebration. Themed "ONA Family Day : Sharing and Discovery", this activity aims to strengthen ties between the ONA, its policyholders, and the community at large.

In his remarks, Minister Franck reiterated the crucial importance of the ONA in the protection and social security chain for the population, particularly workers.

He praised the dedication of ONA Director General Ronald Bazile and the team organizing this activity, which showcased the talents and potential of the institution's civil servants, particularly in the areas of craftsmanship, art, and cuisine.

Franck stated that these events will allow citizens to better understand the ONA's operating mechanism and the various services offered by making them accessible to all. Such initiatives, the Minister affirmed, are essential to forging a positive public image of this social security institution.

For his part, Ronald Bazile stated that this celebration was part of the preparatory activities for the institution's 60th anniversary. He emphasized the importance of this event, which showcases ONA's executives and various departments, allowing participants to better understand the institution's services and new products, while promoting national culture through various events, exhibitions, and discussions.

Furthermore, ONA officially presented the "ONA Education Kredi Lekòl" program, an innovative initiative designed to support Haitian families and offer credit facilities to help insured parents better meet the costs of their children's education.
