More from Haitian Handmade!
Haitian Handmade is a program designed to sell products made in Haiti back here in the US in order to help the artisan that created the product and Servants for Haiti. This December we kicked off the selling of these products at a local craft fair. Veronica Gadbois, who is heading up our fundraising for Servants for Haiti sold Haitian products at the local Westford Bazaar. This was a huge success for Servants for Haiti and the artisans in Haiti as this was the first time their sewing products were sold to the public back in the US. Servants for Haiti just started a ...

2013 Trivia Recap
SFH Trivia night was once more a smashing success, an annual tradition that has become a peak moment of the Merrimack Valley social calendar. About 150 people came out to support the great work happening in Haiti with the assistance and support of Servants for Haiti.
Biznis Pam was featured as the recipient of the event's income. Two videos of Monite Métélus-Louis (viewable here and here), founder and director of the business training and micro-loan program, were shown to let people know where their giving would be working. That set the tone for some frenzied ...

Biznis Progress
Back in November, our first Biznis Pam class graduated from entrepreneurial training. We thought you might like to know how they're doing today.
Monite, our field director and trainer, sent us an update this past week. Here's the good news:
Of the five people who attended the first class, four created business plans that were approved and funded with micro-loans. (The fifth student didn't meet all class requirements.) All four new businesses are in operation. Here is Monite's report on the status of each:
Three of the four new businesses are growin...

New logo
When Servants for Haiti began in 2005, we served children in an orphanage and school. To graphically represent our mission, we created the following logo:
The picture of Haitian children coupled with that slogan effectively got our message across. We helped individual children get a good start in life through care and education.
About a year ago, that task was transferred to a new organization, HIA, and SFH moved on with our new calling. Today we are helping young adults and whole families get back on their feet through new homes, businesses, and continuing ...
