MPP Mission

Mouvman Peyizan Papay (MPP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to work toward social justice and improvement of quality of life in Haiti.

In order to do that, it focuses its activities on educating and organizing primarily the peasants which are the largest and most neglected group in the country.

MPP works to empower the poor peasants to organize themselves to contribute to the construction of a just and responsible society working together for the well being of all.



 

Some of our major goals include:

  • Improve the environment and the soil so that Haiti can regain its food sovereignty
  • Contribute to an efficient management of natural resources such as water, forests, seeds, etc
  • Advocate for women’s rights
  • Promote environmentally conscious and sustainable alternative sources of energies
  • Work to build the countryside to become a dream place for people to live, work and raise families

 

MPP History

Founded in 1973, Mouvman Peyizan Papay (MPP) is a grassroots movement that organizes the small farmers in order to improve their living conditions. It started  in Papaye, a small community  located 2.5 miles from the city of  Hinche, capital city of the Department Centre in Haïti. 

From just the two groups in 1973, MPP rose to nine groups in 1975 to 39 in 1976 .  The average number of members per group is 12.  In 2008 MPP counts over 50,000 members including adult men, women, and youth. The youth and women have their own structure (Youth movement, Women’s movement) inside MPP.

 In Haiti, MPP is member of MPNKP (National Peasant Movement of  Papaye Congress), PLANOPA (National Platform of Peasant Organizations) and also a member of the RENASSA (National Network for Security and Food Sovereignty).

On the international level, MPP is a member of following organizations:
--Via Campesina (Founding member)
