3 Cords is a social enterprise founded in September 2010 to train, employ, and empower Haitian men and women. Our mission is to provide opportunities for physically handicapped women and men, and to show them that they are both beautiful and valuable. We do this by training our employees as artisans in a loving, community oriented environment.
Our vision is to change lives by providing jobs for women and men to empower them to provide for themselves and their families. In most cases, the women and men at 3 Cords are caring for multiple adults and children within their families. By working full-time jobs, Haitians are naturally empowered, being viewed as hard workers and breadwinners in their communities. Moreover, our hope is that 3 Cords can disprove the cultural stigma against handicapped people in Haiti, and show Jesus’ model of redemption and hope for the world.
