2nd Story Goods

MUCH Ministries created a small non-profit, called 2nd Story Goods, to help Haitian artisans come together to sell their handmade home goods and accessories. They fight poverty by employing local makers to create products from locally-sourced and upcycled materials and focus on development work through practical, real-life training with individuals, families and small businesses in the most marginalized areas. They sees the possibilities in each person as they watch the work of the artisan’s hands bring economic growth and stability to families in the community.
