I love this!




Macy's is helping struggling countries impacted by war and natural disasters, by selling handcrafted goods in their stores. You can buy this beautiful, colorful handcrafted baskets from Rwanda at Macy's. They also have art and crafts from Haiti I have not seen them in the stores, not sure if this is only online.

"The partnership between Macy's and the Rwanda Path To Peace Program since 2005 and was established to create a viable and sustainable business that provides economic stability, the Macy's Rwanda Path to Peace project promotes an environment of peace to positively impact the future of Rwanda's 8 million citizens. Focusing on trade, not aid, the export and sale of the beautiful hand-woven baskets made by has sustainable income directly into the hands of Rwandan women, most of who are heads of households and were previously living on less than $1.00 per day. This income has visibly changed the lives of the weavers in remarkable ways by providing food, shelter, medical care, education, and other necessities, while also imparting a great sense of pride and self esteem."
