Fair Trade and Community Support

This Soapstone Fish Dish is not just a beautiful product; it also supports fair trade practices and empowers local artisans in Haiti. The Artisan Business Network (ABN) plays a crucial role in improving the livelihoods of Haitian artisans by providing them with entrepreneurial tools, design input, and access to international markets.

Haitian Artisan Culture

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. However, organizations like the ABN are working tirelessly to uplift these communities by promoting traditional arts and crafts, including soapstone carving. The ABN has established depots in Jacmel, Port-au-Prince, and Croix-des-Bouquets, supporting artisans in various mediums such as metal crafts, paper mache, and plant fibers.

Empowering Lives Through Art

Despite the adversities faced by Haitian artisans, there is hope for a brighter future. The ABN is dedicated to empowering these talented individuals, helping them to recapture losses from past economic challenges and natural disasters, such as the devastating earthquake in January 2010. By connecting artisan handcrafts with the international market, many artisans can now provide better care for themselves and their families.

In summary, our Soapstone Fish Dish is not only a stunning piece of art but also a symbol of resilience and hope for the artisans who create it. By choosing this dish, you are supporting fair trade practices and contributing to the empowerment of Haitian communities.
