The Vision Behind the Kay Nou Model
“I created the Kay Nou Model to address the fragmentation and lack of coordination within the Haitian community. While we possess expertise, determination, and capacity, we lacked a unified structure that would allow our individual efforts to have real influence.
The Kay Nou Model is a framework strategically designed to enable success both individually and collectively, empowering Haitians in the diaspora and in Haiti to amplify their influence. With this unified, capacity-building approach, we can improve economic and social conditions in our communities and reshape the conditions of our homeland as we envision them.
Kay Nou is more than a model—it is a strategic platform for Haitians to define their goals and transform their vision for Haiti into reality.”
