What We Do​

Our goal is focused. We are dedicated to equipping people in one community with education and economic support so they can attain whole-life improvement.

Our programs directly benefit people in Bon Repos, Haiti. We provide child sponsorships, a girls scholar program, university scholarships, adult literacy courses, and business microloans. Our initiatives create a cycle of hope for a new day for these students and entrepreneurs.

Through the spirit of “Konbit” — working together as a team, a tribe, to complete a task until the end — Jou Nouvo partners with individuals to improve their lives and their community.

About Us

Haiti is the most impoverished country in the world. With a literacy rate less than 53% and 29% of the country living in extreme poverty, many Haitians struggle to improve their livelihoods, even slightly.

More than a decade ago, Kerline Tofuri founded Jou Nouvo to help the people of Bon Repos, her community of origin. With Kerline’s roots and connections, we are able to make a meaningful difference in this community.

Through literacy, education, and business development, we bolster hope. Children see a way out of poverty through education and adults gain financial independence as entrepreneurs.

Two years ago today, we opened our beautiful community center in Bon Repos. 

To this day, we are grateful, proud, and we celebrate this milestone with all of our friends and our staff who contributed and made this dream come true. 

We are eternally grateful to our committed supporters, who continue to walk alongside our children and families on the path to a New Day. 

Stay tuned for the progress of our gardening project!
