Mission Made Jewelry (MMJ) is a Wilmington-based non-profit organization breaking the cycle of poverty in Haiti through the sale of handmade products. MMJ partners with artisans in Haiti to establish training programs and create job opportunities. Products are created using traditional crafting techniques with locally-sourced materials. Every purchase improves the lives of the artisans and their families by providing fair wages, a sustainable income, and a safe job to keep families together.
OUR MISSION Founded in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Gift of Hope is changing lives through stable income, discipleship, education, and the investment of relationships. Together with our founding nonprofit organization, Haiti Foundation Against Poverty, we employ over 70 Haitians and pay a living wage that is at least three times the minimum wage. We also partner with local artisans to support Haitian entrepreneurs. Our goal to raise families out of poverty is a holistic effort to educate and empower the entire family system. There is a direct correlation between the number of sales and the number of children who are spared living life as a poverty orphan. You can unite with us to preserve families by shopping and wearing powerful things! The...
JoyHouse Coffee Brews Up Jobs, Gives Back to the Community Since the early 1800s, one of Haiti’s main exports has been coffee beans. Throughout the country, coffee formed the backbone of the economy.

The Beginning To fully appreciate the deux mains brand, we have to start at the beginning, January 12, 2010. As a response to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Julie Colombino founded a nonprofit organization REBUILD globally, that still exists today and serves as our most strategic partner in fighting poverty. Julie realized the women who survived the horrible disaster were looking for ways to help themselves recover. So she opened a small training center and taught these women to make sandals from the tires found in the streets. Over the year, through the efforts of REBUILD globally, deux mains was able to spin off into its own official Haitian business and fashion brand. --- The Journey For five years, through...
