Hope Through Education: Support the JJD Foundation

17 Campaigns | 0 Loved campaigns

The Jean-Joseph Darbouze (JJD) Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building stronger families and communities in southern Haiti through education, healthcare, and sustainable development. Since 2008, the Foundation has worked to break cycles of poverty by providing critical resources where they’re needed most.

A cornerstone of its mission is the Jean-Joseph Darbouze Academy, a tuition-free school in Arniquet, Haiti. The Academy currently serves nearly 450 students, offering quality, faith-based education to children who would otherwise lack access. In addition to academic instruction, the Foundation supports students with spiritual guidance, community support, and a safe environment to grow and thrive.

By focusing on long-term solutions and local partnerships, the JJD Foundation empowers communities from within—creating opportunity, resilience, and hope for generations to come.

Story

Why Ernest Davis Chose to Support The JJD Foundation

This campaign is deeply personal. The Jean-Joseph Darbouze Foundation was co-founded by his wife and her siblings to honor their late father’s legacy—and he has seen firsthand the tireless work they’ve poured into it. For years, they’ve sustained the Jean-Joseph Darbouze Academy, often sacrificing their own resources to keep the school running.

In a country where many families cannot afford to send their children to school, the Academy offers more than education—it offers consistency, spiritual encouragement, and a sense of community.

By launching this campaign through Think Local, he hopes to shine a light on how innovative, community-powered models like this can create real impact across borders. This is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a new way forward.
