Meet the Artisan

Claude’s Story of Hope   

In the midst of extreme poverty, political unrest, and constant trials, our Artisan partners in Haiti are creating beauty from discarded materials like upcycled steel oil drums. Abandoned by his mother as a young boy, Claude became orphaned and alone when his father passed away. As a child, Claude worked alongside the Artisans in his village to provide for himself. As a teen, he sold handcrafted Noah’s Arks at local fairs.   
Now in his late 20’s, Claude is highly respected by the dozens of Artisans he oversees in his workshop. Every purchase of this Steel Bethlehem Ornament helps support Claude and his community of metal Artisans in Haiti.

The Impact of Your Purchase 

Haiti endured one of this century's worst natural disasters when a major earthquake devastated this nation that’s home to almost 500,000 orphans. The majority of Haiti’s orphans have not been orphaned by parental deaths or natural disasters, but by parents who gave them up simply because they could not feed them.   


This Artisan community is helping with Haiti’s orphan crisis by providing parents with local business opportunities as Artisans. Through fashion as a force for good, parents in areas of extreme poverty in Haiti can earn sustainable income that empowers them to keep and provide for their children.
