Members of Mom Bloggers Club were recently asked to spread the word about a product sold at Macy’s called the Heart of Haiti. The proceeds from the sale of these items are helping to rebuild Haiti through “Trade, Not Aid.”
The main benefit of this program, is creating jobs and income for the people of Haiti while providing life-changing income for artisans, their families, and their communities. This income allows artisans to repair homes, pay school fees, and feed and clothe their families. Whereby giving them access to better nutrition, improved education, and healthcare.
The Heart of Haiti collection includes handmade products for the home such as quilts, metalwork, ceramics, and paintings. Each item is designed by a Haitian master artisan and produced by hand in Haiti from recycled materials.
