About this facility

Mission
Who We Are
The Association of Peasants of Fondwa (APF) is a grassroots organization that has worked men nan men (“hand in hand”) with the peasants of Fondwa, Haiti since 1988. APF envisions a new rural Haiti, one which is populated with sustainably and holistically developed communities that actively promote the civil and human rights of the poor. APF’s daily work is dedicated to making this vision a reality by empowering and enabling the poor to become their own agents of liberation. Together, APF and the peasants have created basic infrastructure, health care, financial services, agricultural training, and primary, secondary, and university-level education to the residents of Fondwa. These opportunities do not simply improve the current quality of life in Fondwa, rather they strengthen community relationships by preventing the migration of rural youth and providing community leaders with access to continue to develop their own community. Where We Work
APF works for the development of Fondwa, the 10th Communal Section of Leogane situated about 60 km south of the capital, Port-au-Prince. APF’s Secretariat operates out of Port-au-Prince and serves as the administrator for APF activities in Fondwa. APF’s Technical Team works in Fondwa directly with the peasants to implement projects and provide them with hands-on-learning. Before APF was founded, Fondwa had no access to basic infrastructure. However, the past 21 years has transformed Fondwa into an area of potential economic growth. Where community members once left their community in search for educational and work opportunities in the larger cities, the same community members are returning back to their roots in Fondwa.
Areas served
Number of people serve: 50,000 in the Fondwa region (in 6 different communities) and 570 rural communities through SEKONAPA
