The dream of a good job is out of reach for many women in Haiti especially for those who lack a formal education.

W.O.M.E.N. works to create sustainable jobs using a cottage style cooperative work structure, practical skill sets and the industrious work ethic of women in Haiti. Each year, W.O.M.E.N. organizes and sponsors training seminars in a variety of handmade crafts for more than 100 women. Those who show promise can become co-op leaders and given the equipment, tools, supplies, and materials needed to set up their own at-home business. Each woman s encouraged to hire others from within her community to help her produce artisanal quality crafts that enable her to support herself and her family.

The women now have bank accounts and many are able to build a proper home. Each woman feels a sense of pride and is respected in her community. Life begins to bloom and the future is bright for the Women of Milot.
