This handcrafted Haitian clay bracelet features naturally varying shades of unpainted terracotta beads that are ideal for diffusing your favorite essential oils. Every bracelet is accented with painted blush-pink beads that each Artisan hand paints with her own unique distressed finish. Just add a drop or two to your unpainted porous clay beads, and the oil will absorb into the natural clay and evaporate after a day or two. Every purchase provides jobs for women in areas of extreme poverty in Haiti and helps mamas keep their babies out of poverty orphanages.
Every bracelet has variations as a part of the Artisan-made charm!

Makensia's Story of Hope Surrounded by the tropical beauty of Haiti, Makensia is also surrounded by extreme poverty. But neither poverty, nor the death of a child, nor domestic abuse have defined her. She has persevered through many challenging seasons and continues to pursue good things for her family. While many mothers in her village have been forced to make the heartbreaking decision to give up their children to poverty orphanages to save them from starvation, this mother of five has been able to earn enough income to keep her family together by hand rolling beads and making jewelry from Haitian clay and discarded cereal boxes. Your purchase helps Makensia continue to keep her family together.

The Impact of Your Purchase
The Impact of Your Purchase
Haiti endured 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 designs that do good. Purchase this bracelet and empower a woman in Haiti!
