13 Gifts You Can Give Your Boss if They Love Haiti

If your boss loves Haiti, they will appreciate any gift inspired by its culture or history. Here is a list of 13 items we believe anyone would love. 

Congratulations if your boss loves a great bag or anything that is leather. Your support for Deux Mains helps ensure that the people of Haiti have access to sustainable income, medical care, and quality education. A solar-powered, female-owned manufacturing facility is your top choice. You opt for reusing and recycling resources, using time-honored techniques, and thinking in terms of a closed loop. Good-for-the-world clothing is what you wear. You can also support the work of Haiti Made, which is united around excellent products, respectable jobs, and economic sustainability to break the poverty cycle in Haiti and join the battle against the orphan and child trafficking crisis. And Haiti Design Co was founded in 2014 to facilitate sustainable development by means of designs, training, and creation of new jobs; around their workshop, “MEN ANPIL, CHAY PA LOU” is a common refrain. Many hands make the load light; this is an old adage in Haitian. They have faith that the designer, manufacturer, and consumer all have common ground and that by cooperating, they may ease one another’s burdens and make an everlasting positive impact.
