The Haiti Design Company jewellery team work under the banner of 2nd Story Goods. HDC is known as “Ekip Fanm Djanm” in Haiti, and means 'Team of Strong Women'. The income from this jewellery means everything to each of these women. In Haiti there is no government support for families, and no unemployment services. This income means food and safe shelter for these women and their children.
Every product these artisans are able to make, and export is a small miracle. A marker of their amazing resilience and determination.
2nd Story Goods was established by Kathy Brooks, she is an amazing lady who made a conscious decision to work to empower women in nations where there is embedded poverty. She works in Haiti, where they call her 'Mumma Kat'.
Kathy established 2nd Story Goods for conscious consumers who seek to buy products that empower and value the makers, and give the makers a wage that enables them to survive and thrive.
2nd Story Goods provides an ethical, Fair Trade Marketplace for artisan makers in Haiti. 2nd Story Goods supports and trains artisan jewellery makers, leather workers and clothing makers, ensuring each maker receives a Living Wage, which is around 5 times as much as the Haitian minimum wage.
Every item we receive from 2nd Story Goods is sustainable, with focus on reuse of resources, and many products made from recycled and reused textiles. .
Haiti is an extremely dangerous, poorly governed, economically distressed nation in the Caribbean. This small nation has a long history of being exploited by larger richer nations. Every product made and exported from this small distressed nation is a small miracle, a sign of the makers resilience and strength in the midst of chaos and poverty.
