Navakerala is a non-profit community organization formed by the original Kerala settlers who relocated to South Florida in the early 1990s. Its objectives were preserving culture and traditions, creating a gathering place, and supporting quality of life.

The founders wanted to ensure that Kerala's cultural heritage and traditions, their place of origin, were maintained even as they settled in South Florida. Navakerala aims to preserve and promote its practices and culture in its new surroundings while creating a sense of community and support for themselves and future generations.

Navakerala is a hub for social interactions, cultural activities, and a support network for its members; which involves celebrating festivals, organizing cultural events, providing language classes, traditional arts, and entertainment, and passing down traditions to the next generation.
