Organization: Haiti Design Co-op
Country: Haiti
There is an old Haitian proverb that says, “Many hands make the load light.” The Haiti Design Co-op believes that when the designer, maker, and consumer work together, life’s load is lightened and a positive lasting impact can be made. This product comes from this artisan focused social enterprise based in Port au Prince, Haiti. Through skill training and job creation, the artisans are given the opportunity to earn a living wage which is otherwise unavailable to them, while also showcasing the unique and high-quality products Haiti has to offer.
