Daphney St. Claire

Jeremie, Haiti

Daphney is a young woman living in a small town outside of Jeremie, Haiti. She has seen the lack of employment opportunities and shared the weight of financial responsibility with her mother. Determined to provide for herself and her family in one of the most difficult economies in the world, Daphney took on the challenge of creating her own business.

As one of the 23 members selected for Just Hope’s Entrepreneurship Development program, Daphney has been able to accomplish her personal and financial goals through her peanut butter business and still give back to her community through job creation.

Whether the recipe is salty or sweet, Daphney has found the right recipe for success, and we are looking forward to watching her journey unfold.
