Now for the Heart of Haiti. If you are looking for a handmade Mothers Day gift this year consider shopping with Macy's and their Heart of Haiti shop which also helps Haitian artisans support their families. Visit the complete shop featuring their amazing artists. Please enjoy a special discount code shown at the bottom of the post.
The devastating earthquake of January 2010 has made it virtually impossible for Haitians to make a living. Raw materials have been wiped out; there are a lack of secure and sanitary conditions and little funding to support economic relief.
Purchasing one of these handcrafted masterpieces directly benefits Haitian artisans by allowing them to support their families with dignity and purpose. Artisans receive 22 percent of the retail price for each item in the collection.
This initiative offers the first sustainable income since the earthquake, enabling artisans to repair homes, pay school fees and feed and clothe their families. With steady income comes better nutrition, improved education and access to healthcare.
Heart of Haiti also offers new opportunities for artists to collaborate with US designers, strengthening artisan associations and inspiring and energizing their communities. Men and women are working together, gaining confidence and hope for the future. Master artisans who planned to leave the country are now staying behind to train the next generation. The tradition of rich and unique Haitian art lives on...through the generosity of many like you.
