Questions about Bisou Bisou Haiti.
What we have done, where we began, what has changed, and what is possible next.
About our organization
What is Bisou Bisou Haiti?
Bisou Bisou Haiti is a community-centered education nonprofit established in 2012. Our historic work has included student-led study support, a community library, local initiatives, and international educational exchange. Read our story.
Where was the Bisou Bisou Haiti community library located?
Our historic library and learning center operated in Kafou Fèy (Carrefour-Feuilles), a neighborhood in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was not located in Cap-Haïtien. Learn about our community library project.
Is the Kafou Fèy center currently open?
No. Our physical learning center was destroyed, and in-person services there are suspended. The current situation has significantly constrained operations and access. We are exploring responsible ways to remain connected through remote opportunities. Read our operations update.
Learning, volunteering & the future
Are there current volunteer trips to Haiti?
Not at this time. We are not advertising or booking in-person service trips. Travel could be reconsidered only for appropriate locations after careful safety assessments, local consultation and operational planning. Explore our vision.
How could people help students from outside Haiti?
We welcome conversations about remote tutoring, mentoring, student seminars, curriculum development, technology access, research and responsible partnerships. These are potential ways to participate, not guaranteed open placements. Explore ways to get involved.
What is the plan for Maniche, Haiti?
Our long-term vision includes a proposed educational resource center in Maniche, with books, study space, opportunities for local leadership and flexible learning support. The center is a future goal, not an open facility. Read the proposed roadmap.
How do I get updates about future opportunities?
Use the interest form on the Get Involved page. At present it opens a prewritten email to send to our team; your request is not received until you send the message. We intend to connect a dedicated signup service in the future.
How can I research the impact of Haiti's crisis on students?
Our education journal contains 33 articles on school closures, displacement, safety and the hopes of learners. Articles link to the original reporting; student spotlights are credited to UNICEF and are not presented as Bisou Bisou Haiti program participants.
