Diane Moffi / howFar Haiti Director
howFar Haiti would like to announce the creation of Haiti
Works, a non-profit, online purchasing experience benefiting the howFar Haiti
micro loan program and education in Haiti.
Haiti Works will offer hand-selected products made in Haiti
and offer them for online purchase here in the US. Proceeds from the sales go directly back to
Haiti.
This is a WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN -
This is a WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN -
WIN: the products
purchased in Haiti give income to artisans making the products!
WIN: the products
purchased by people through Haiti Works bring beautiful handmade specialty
pieces to their homes and increases their awareness of Haiti!!
WIN: the proceeds from
sales will help support the micro loan program, which will increase the number
of families that can participate!!!
WIN: the families
participating in the micro-loan program will have financial security by earning
a steady income, providing housing, food, education for their kids and the
feeling of self-esteem!!!!
Ultimately, Haiti Works wants to sell a selection of
beautiful hand-made products: Jewelry;
metal art; bags; pottery; greeting cards; coffee; vanilla and sea salt. Each product we buy in Haiti and sell in the
US brings much needed income to local artisans and workers. While this is good and worthwhile, we also
want to emphasize the beauty of Haiti and her people. Haitians are hospitable, warm, friendly
people who have an inconceivable amount of joy while most are living in
desperate poverty. We want to change
poverty to prosperity one family at a time!
Many times parents are forced to make the tough decision to
give their children to a local orphanage because they cannot financially care
for them. Some of the orphanages in
Haiti are not run with the children’s best interest in mind. Our micro loan program will help parents keep
their families intact…children can grow up with their family, which is where
they belong!!
Please keep Haiti Works in your prayers as we launch in
February! Pray for an abundance of
buyers who want to do something good for someone else. Pray for our artisans and workers in Haiti
who make the products we will sell, that they will see the glory of God as He
provides them with HOPE through you, our customers!
