In 2016, Crefis decided to take a picture of the houses of Legros. Perhaps, in 20 years we will see the progress made in the area. The situation of the house lie with the economic situation of the population. Crefis’ ideal is to accompany family leaders to gain dignity through work and discipline. Thereafter, family leaders will build decent homes for their family. However, Crefis does not rule out the possibility to help family leaders to build homes for their family.
The mission of CREFIS is to support local leaders and affiliated groups aligned with its vision and ideals, guiding them toward the eradication of poverty in all its forms in Haiti.
To achieve this mission, CREFIS works to:
Create local leadership capable of initiating sustainable and endogenous development initiatives to meet basic human needs;
Organize discussions and training sessions on the causes of underdevelopment in Haiti and on prioritizing key challenges;
Develop projects collaboratively with affiliated groups, encouraging grassroots development initiatives;
Present projects to partner aid organizations, with a strong focus on training, investment management, and project monitoring;
Combat corruption by positioning itself as a transparent intermediary between aid organizations and beneficiaries-actors.
CREFIS aims to identify, support, and train traditional associations in the commune of Roseaux as part of a pilot experience that will later extend to all communes of the Grand’Anse Department and throughout Haiti. This support is technical, institutional, and administrative in nature.
The organization’s field of action encompasses all areas of human and community development, with particular emphasis on:
environmental protection and agricultural development,
education and health promotion,
the emergence of community leadership,
and the development of microenterprise.
CREFIS seeks to support and strengthen existing 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.
