The community of Juchereau is just a couple of kilometers outside the town of Trou du Nord, which is approximately 8 kilometers west of Terrier Rouge.  The community has a population of approximately 8,000 people, most of whom are subsistence farmers, and is located in a very rural area.

 

  

The school of L'eglise Baptiste Jerusalem de Juchereau has an enrollment of approximately 270 students in their preschool through grade 6 classes. They are now receiving regular food donations from the World Food Program so they are now able to feed the children each school day.
