Our Work
Empowering Youth, Building Futures
For 18 years, Kay Angel has been committed to supporting vulnerable youth in Jacmel. Our programs have evolved from residential care to a comprehensive approach that includes foster family support, transition services, education, and community wellness. Each program is designed to give young people the tools, resources, and support they need to build successful, independent lives.
