Global Village Nanaimo - Fair Trade & Non-Profit

Woven Grace, Haiti

Woven Grace is a non-profit organization based in Haiti. The handcrafts opportunities evolved out of a Christian Soccer organization, and a desire to create opportunities for the youth who were living on the streets.

In 2013, the ideas for greeting cards were developed and production began.  Shipping was one of the biggest challenges so a plan with a missionary flight service was set up. Quality control and distribution are done from the USA, but other possibilities are being explored for the Canadian market.

The cards are made by teenagers. These youth attend school on scholarships and many will use their earnings from Woven Grace to further their educations.
