While the 2010 earthquake in Haiti isn’t in the news anymore, the poverty-striken country that was decimated is still working to rebuild today.
Macy’s has a great collection of handcrafted jewelry, crafts, and home furnishings called the “Heart of Haiti Collection”. More than just a charity handout, these are handicrafts done by citizens of Haiti still working to rebuild their lives. This Heart of Haiti Tray is a good example of the types of crafts they produce: they’re great quality and they reflect the culture of the island nation. Click around the site to see the amazing array of art they have in this collection.
Proceeds of sales will help the artisans rebuild their communities. The program is done in cooperation with Fairwinds Trading and BrandAid Haiti.
