This is an association  founded in April 13, 1993 by the people of Gressier residing in France aiming  to contribute to the economic and social development of the commune of Gressier. This initiative is the fruit of a conscious collective wakening and voluntary will of the community of Gressier in France.  The idea of creating CADGH is a step based on respect and discipline. The purpose is to promote and to widen  the circle of friendship and fraternity between the people of Gressiers in France and the United States.  Today, CADGH occupies an important place in this community. It is considered a think tank making it possible for its members to weave and maintain very friendly and very close ties with other partners in France, the United States and Haiti or anywhere else  for the advancement of Gressier.

By embracing this noble cause, CADGH intends to take part in all of the economic, social and cultural initiatives of the commune of Gressier. Thus, within the framework of a partnership and an active co-operation, CADGH - FRANCE, CAGH- USA and COLIDEG, have multiplied their efforts in order to achieve a common objective that is the development of the commune of Gressier.

Financial Sources
