The Impact of Your Purchase
Haiti is home to almost 500,000 orphans. The majority of Haiti’s orphans have not been orphaned by parental deaths, but instead have parents, grandparents, and relatives who love them, but surrendered them to orphanages because they could not feed them. This workshop in Haiti provides local parents with a safe workspace to earn sustainable income that empowers them to keep and provide for their children. These Artisans in Haiti are overcoming extreme poverty, political unrest, and gang violence, as they create ethically made jewelry, accessories, and home decor to keep their families together and provide their families with brighter futures.
Meet the Artisan: Makensia’s Story of Hope
Surrounded by the tropical beauty of Haiti, Makensia is also surrounded by extreme poverty. But neither poverty, nor the death of a child, nor domestic abuse have defined her. She has persevered through many challenging seasons and continues to pursue good things for her family.
While many mothers in her village have been forced to make the heartbreaking decision to give up their children to poverty orphanages to save them from starvation, this mother of five has been able to earn enough income to keep her family together by hand rolling beads and making jewelry from Haitian clay and discarded cereal boxes. Your purchase helps Makensia continue to keep her family together.
