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. Daily we are doing our best to find out the status and we will keep you informed. One World Projects will donate 50% of all Haitian product profits to non-profit organizations we know and trust, including Partners in Health / Stand with Haiti (www.standwithhaiti.org) and AmeriCares (www.americares.org). Both have an extremely solid reputation and a local presence in Haiti. We also encourage you to donate to them directly. Please browse through our Haitian artisan products. Our stock is limited and selling quickly. Should an item you select go out of stock before we can update the site, we'll let you know and return your money. It will be your choice to be on a waiting list for the item or not. Obviously we don't know when the artisans will be able to work again. Know that as the immediate emergency passes, we'll resume work with our partners in Haiti to help the artisans become self-reliant as quickly as possible. 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 work will be there when they're ready. We'll email you when the artisans are back to work and we can ship your item.

Vetiver is an aromatic grass indigenous to Haiti having a cornucopia of uses. It has been used to treat muscular aches, improve circulation, relieve melancholy and nervous tension, and to ensure restful sleep. 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.
