In addition to abiding by strict self-imposed standards around fair labor relations, each project must be environmentally sound and have the potential to become a self-sustaining enterprise. The Rhode Island-based non-profit, described as a labor of love founded by a husband and wife team, provides entrepreneurial assistance and facilitates relationships between global markets and artisans and co-operatives within Haiti. Unique, handmade and fairly traded items from the various projects are available through the non-profit's [online store](http://www.1000jobshaiti.org/jh/shop.asp). Donations can also be made on the 1000 Jobs/Haiti [website](http://www.1000jobshaiti.org/jh/donate.asp). **Contact Information** 1000 Jobs/Haiti [website](http://www.1000jobshaiti.org/) 1000 Jobs/Haiti on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/1000jobshaiti) 1000 Jobs/Haiti on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/1000jobshaiti) 1000 Jobs/Haiti on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/onethousandjobs) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Employment:** Opportunity to create innovative projects that provide sustainable employment at fair wages in post-disaster areas. - **Entrepreneurial Assistance:** Potential to offer support and assistance for entrepreneurs in developing countries to foster economic growth. - **Fair Trade Initiatives:** Possibility for implementing fair trade projects that promote ethical labor practices and support local artisans. ### Where This Applies - **Non-profit Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for non-profits to create projects that address poverty and unemployment in post-disaster regions. - **Global Markets:** Potential for disrupting global markets by establishing connections with artisans and cooperatives in developing nations. - **Handmade Goods and Crafts:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the handmade goods industry by promoting unique and fairly traded items from developing countries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Empowering Nonprofit Organizations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disability-community.md) - [Disaster Relief-Supporting Pr Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/publicity-for-good.md) - [Social Good Brand Practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dignity-coconuts.md) - [Sustainably Handcrafted Bag Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tote-of-hope.md) - [Empowering Homeless Youth Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tradeworx.md) - [D2C Artisan Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisan-marketplace1.md) - [Branded Hurricane Relief](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ashevilles-entrepreneurial-community.md) - [At-Risk Youth-Targeted Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacific-links-foundation.md) - [Charitable Building Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-hardie.md)
