The Rural Development Support Group (GADRU) is a non-profit institution founded on November 16, 1992 which works in rural development.

The main actor in rural development is the peasant family itself which, from generation to generation, has ensured its survival and that of the Haitian nation. The first right of the peasant family is to eat well and to be proud of its work. The peasant family needs to be supported to fulfill its primary role in improving its living conditions.
