Heart of Haiti and Macy's



The devastating earthquake of January 2010 has made it nearly impossible for Haitians to earn a living. Raw materials have been wiped out, there are a lack of secure and sanitary conditions and little funding to support economic relief.


Through the sale of Heart of Haiti products, artisans are able to earn life-changing income for themselves, their families, and their communities. The initiative is enabling artisans to repair homes, pay school fees, and feed and clothe their families. The income also allows them to have access to better nutrition, improved education and healthcare.





The Heart of Haiti collection has already led to employment of 350 artists in Haiti and has provided some financial benefits for an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 people in the country.

Check out the Heart of Haiti collection on Macys.com.
