From "Orphan Prevention Through Job Creation" at Papillon to working directly with artisans in the metal artist colony in Noeille, Haitian artists are represented from Port-au-Prince to the island of La Gonave. Deux Mains is creating "Eco Luxe" products from recycled tires and locally sourced leather. BeadWorx allows parents to create beaded items while working from home. 2nd Story Goods presents artisan goods from Gonaives, working with local, found, and recycled materials to make items with another purpose, a "second story". Art Matenwa artists hand-paint silk scarves and create beaded wall hangings.
