Jakmel Ekspresyon (JE)

JCEF, or Jakmel Community Empowerment Foundation, is a non-profit, non-discriminatory fund-raising organization that supports the youth in Jacmel, primarily through Jakmel Ekspresyon.

Jacmel, Haiti faces significant economic hardships, and political unrest is constant. The education system in Haiti is weak and does not adequately prepare young adults for life there. Moreover, there is a demoralizing lack of acceptance for marginalized people. 

Jakmel Ekspresyon (JE) offers kids and young adults a safe space for continuing education – a place where   everyone is welcome to learn life skills: technology, arts, environmental practices, trade skills, academics, language, and leadership.
