Woven Grace, Haiti
Note - Global Village Nanaimo has not ordered from this supplier in a while because we have not been able to connect with them.
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.
