Haiti is often regarded as one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere, with many artisans facing significant challenges due to economic hardships and political instability. The Artisan Business Network (ABN) plays a crucial role in empowering these artisans by providing them with the necessary tools, resources, and market access to thrive. By purchasing our Green Soapstone Heart, you are directly supporting the ABN's mission to improve the lives of Haitian artisans and their families.
Our Green Soapstone Hearts are not only beautiful but also ethically sourced. They are fair trade imported, ensuring that the artisans receive a fair wage for their hard work.

The Artisan Business Network is dedicated to preserving Haiti's rich artisan culture while improving community well-being. With depots located in Jacmel, Port-au-Prince, and Croix-des-Bouquets, the ABN supports various traditional arts, including metal crafts, soapstone carving, paper mache, and plant fibers. Their efforts have helped many artisans regain their footing after the economic trade embargo of the 1990s and the devastating earthquake in January 2010.
