Supporting Fair Trade

When you purchase our Purple Soapstone Heart, you are supporting fair trade practices that empower Haitian artisans. The Artisan Business Network (ABN) plays a crucial role in providing artisans with the tools and resources they need to succeed. By connecting them with international markets, ABN helps artisans improve their earnings and provide for their families. This fair trade initiative not only supports individual artisans but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community.

Empowering Communities

Haiti faces numerous challenges, including poverty, lack of access to education, and inadequate healthcare. The average income for many Haitians is just $55 per month, and only a fraction of the population has access to clean drinking water and sanitation. However, through the efforts of organizations like ABN, there is hope for a brighter future. By purchasing handmade products like our Purple Soapstone Heart, you are helping to create sustainable livelihoods for artisans and their families.

Artisan Business Network

The Artisan Business Network is dedicated to empowering Haiti's artisan culture and improving community well-being. With depots located in Jacmel, Port-au-Prince, and Croix-des-Bouquets, ABN supports traditional arts across various mediums, including metal crafts, soapstone, paper mache, and plant fibers. Their mission is to help artisans recapture the losses incurred during economic hardships and natural disasters, such as the devastating earthquake in January 2010.

By purchasing our Purple Soapstone Heart, you are not only acquiring a beautiful piece of art but also playing a part in the recovery and empowerment of Haitian artisans. Your support helps them to rebuild their lives and communities, ensuring that their rich cultural heritage continues to thrive.
