Caribbean Craft promotes employment in Haiti by training unskilled - but often highly gifted - craftspeople in metal art, and by assisting the independent artisans through the introduction of new designs and new market outlets. Unemployment in Haiti, the poorest country of the American hemisphere, is variously estimated at 60 and 80%.
