I haven't set foot in the Grand'Anse in 3 years and exactly 4 months. Jeremie was severely hit by hurricane Matthew in 2016, the storm took away almost all the houses in sheet metal roofing. Only the concrete buildings resisted the repeated attacks of the hurricane. Jeremie has now partially recovered, but even before the storm, Jeremie and the Grand'Anse Department had an urgent need for a massive investment in infrastructure and most important to invest in human capital and long-term business development.
