Community

Haiti Creates products are made at a factory which is located within the footprint of Cite Soleil Community School (CSCS). CSCS provides an elementary school education and daily meal program for people who otherwise would not be able to attend school at all or eat on a regular basis.

Building A Sustainable Future

Haiti Creates workers are community members and parents of the children at the school. The factory provides work, supports the school, and represents a commitment to move from charity to sustainable development. The factory is solar powered and products, as much as possible, are made from discarded items and materials that can be recycled rather than thrown into canals full of trash.

Products By Haiti Creates

Most products are made from discarded rice and flour bags, plastic water bags, and recycled cardboard. The creative workforce is constantly making new products and seeking ways to turn trash and refuse into items that are useful and beautiful.
