Savanne Carree
Project Date: 2010-2012Bamboo has been cultivated in the mountainous region of south central Haiti for the last 10 years. Local artisans learned how to make baskets from the Chinese who planted and then exported the bamboo. Savanne Caree represents several young men, ages 18 to 20 years old who would like to stay in the community and at the same time provide for their families; basket weaving provides this opportunity.
