The Impact of our work is not easy to measure. How do you measure the dignity that a job brings, or the joy of watching your child attend school? How do you quantify the opportunity to buy a home, determine how many children you can afford or purchase livestock to raise for added income for your family? This graph show part of this story -- the numbers. Here you can see that before Artisans worked for Haiti Projects only 23% of the women could afford to pay for medicine, only 27% could send their kids to school, and even fewer could purchase livestock and make repairs on their homes (14% and 5%, respectively). Over the last 20 years these numbers have changed. Close to 60% can afford medicines and almost 100% can send their kids to school. Furthermore, ability to purchase livestock and make repairs has doubled (27% and 13%, respectively). Our impact is clear and significant!
