CREFIS seeks to support and strengthen existing peasant associations and community groups in Roseaux and throughout the Grand’Anse region by providing training and guidance. Its objective is to help these groups break the vicious cycle of poverty by promoting dynamic local leadership capable of initiating, managing, and monitoring investment projects focused on basic human needs, including access to potable water, electricity, health services, education, employment, and cooperation. Beneficiary groups are viewed not merely as recipients of aid, but as beneficiaries-actors—agents capable of actively contributing to their own emancipation.
