Jacques Jille is the leader of the Peasant Organization of La Victoire (OPLD), a community-based organization serving La Victoire and surrounding rural areas in Haiti’s North Department. Jacques and other OPDL members support more than 8,000 Haitian farm families, strengthening their long-term capacities to sustainably improve their livelihoods, food sovereignty, health and natural resources management. Groundswell International and our partner in Haiti, Partnership for Local Development, support OPDL with financial resources and technical and methodological support. Strong leaders and local organizations like Jacques and OPLD are at the core of our strategy to rebuild rural Haiti as a foundation for the revitalization of the entire country.
