Joelle Pfeiffer Chief Human Resources Officer
WHY I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT LAND RIGHTS?
Landesa brings practical systemic solutions to some of the world’s most complex problems through our work on global land rights. When rural persons experiencing poverty have access to secure land rights, they have the means to lift themselves out of poverty and secure a better future for their families and the next generations. Land rights are foundational to address issues of human dignity, safety, food insecurity, income generation, access to education, peace, and even solutions to climate change.
