As a young man in Haiti, Frederic worked in a metal factory to make ends meet.

While there, another man taught him how to make beautiful metal art. The factory closed and Frederic had no job and no future.

It’s been 20 years since Frederic decided to try to create and sell metal pieces on his own.

Today, he has opened his own small shop in Haiti and is able to support his wife and two children with the sales of his craft!

"Thank you for buying my art," he said. "The work helps me pay for school, buy food and buy land to one day build a house."

Support artisans like Frederic today.
