Words cannot adequately express the tragedy of Haiti's devastating earthquake.
The One World Project family extends our deepest sympathies to all those affected by this natural disaster.
We're thankful to report that many of our Haitian artisan partners have survived,
although some are injured; others are still missing.
The soapstone carvers are in an area very close to the epicenter; they are back working again,
while rebuilding their houses and gathering tools.
We invite you to browse through our Haitian artisan products.
Many items are now back in stock!
We hope that you will continue to support the Haitian people and so
we'd like to generate new orders for them!
Under many out of stock items is an "E-mail me when in stock" e-mail link.
This will tell us how many items we should request from the artisans,
and it assures them that their work will continue.

It has been used to treat muscular aches, improve circulation, relieve melancholy and nervous tension,

In addition, it’s valued by the perfume industry for its fragrance-holding properties
and is used in many popular perfumes and colognes.

During the embargo, Haitians deforested their mountainous island for firewood, exposing the
slopes to erosion and land slides. Vetiver's deep and fast growing root system binds the
soil and prevents erosion from water runoff.
Vetiver is an excellent pioneer plant on disturbed land.
It improves the micro environment so local and native species of trees and shrubs can establish themselves later.
For your enjoyment, Haitian artisans have woven, twisted, and turned this useful grass into unique baskets
and decorative accessories.
Your support will help the artisans make a living from vetiver - a renewable natural resource.
