Pure Love Bracelet

Illiata's Story of Hope Illiata is a single mother of five children who lives in an area of extreme poverty in Haiti where safe dignified jobs with fair wages are scarce. Many other local mothers have been forced to make the heartbreaking decision to give up their children to poverty orphanages to save them from starvation. But Illiata has been able to keep and provide for all of her children with the income she earns as an Artisan. Illiata and other women in her community cut, roll, and paste discarded cereal boxes into beautiful beads to create fair-trade jewelry that provides them with sustainable work and fair wages.

Haiti had this century's worst natural disaster and is home to almost 500,000 orphans. The majority of the 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. The group we work with is an "un-orphanage" and is helping with the orphan crisis by providing parents with sustainable business through creating products.
