ARTISANAT STAFF
CAROLLE POULARD, Artisanat Supervisor
Carolle Poulard has been working with Haiti Projects since 1996 when the artisana was just a group of women embroidering together. Over the years she has taken on many roles from an embroiderer to a sewer. She has worked her way up to Supervisor and is now in charge of overseeing all the other women. Carolle’s favorite part of her job is preparing the boxes of finished products to send to Port au Prince and the United States because she gets to see all the great work the women have completed.
MARIE-MARTHE ST JOASSE, Manager
Marie-Marthe is an expert sewer as well as one of HP’s managers. She walks about an hour each day to and from work and loves her work with HP, especially sewing the nightgowns. She continues to do her best work, making products for customers who understand quality workmanship and mindful purchases.
Marie-Marthe has three grown (23, 22 and 19) children of her own and recently adopted her cousin’s 3 1/2 year old daughter because the little girl’s mother died when she was just 5 months old.
To support our artisanat, please visit SHOP MAISON D’HAITI or visit our DONATE PAGE.
Your purchase and donation helps to keep nearly 100 women of our community employed at Fair Trade wages. The income these women bring in is critical as they are, in many cases, the sole caregivers for their children and a source of strength for their community.
