HaitiProjects.org was helping island families. Founded by Sarah Hackett of
Gloucester, Massachusetts, the nonprofit facilitates the sale of hand-embroidered linens to benefit women artisans. It also funds a library, medical
center, and micro-lending program for farmers. The work continues, and a purchase is a small but meaningful way to support its efforts.
