The nonprofit Comite Artisanal Haitien (Haitian Committee of Artisans) markets and exports crafts made by Haitian artisans, cooperatives and craft groups. Some are cooperative associations, some family workshops and some independent artisans; all depend on CAH to market their handicrafts for a fair wage. The economic situation in Haiti is bleak, and the need for income generation is great. CAH craft sales often are the sole income source for artisans and their families.
