Our Pink Soapstone Heart is not just a beautiful decorative item; it is also a product of fair trade practices. By choosing to buy this heart, you are supporting the Artisan Business Network (ABN), an organization dedicated to empowering Haitian artisans. The ABN provides artisans with the tools, resources, and market access they need to improve their livelihoods and support their families.
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 average income in Haiti is a mere $55 per month, and access to basic necessities such as clean drinking water and healthcare is limited. However, through the efforts of the ABN, artisans are gaining the opportunity to improve their circumstances and contribute positively to their communities.
The ABN operates three depots in Haiti, located in Jacmel, Port-au-Prince, and Croix-des-Bouquets, where they support traditional arts across various mediums, including metal crafts, soapstone, paper mache, and plant fibers. By connecting artisans with the international market, the ABN helps them to regain their footing and provide for their families.
Choosing our Pink Soapstone Heart means choosing to make a difference. Each purchase directly impacts the lives of Haitian artisans, allowing them to continue their craft and support their families. This heart serves as a beautiful reminder of the resilience and creativity of the Haitian people, making it a meaningful gift for any occasion.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Pink Soapstone Heart is a conversation starter, allowing you to share the story of the artisans behind it. Whether displayed on a shelf, given as a gift, or used as a decorative piece in your home, this heart embodies the spirit of hope and empowerment.
