WELCOME! BY BEING HERE, YOU EITHER PURCHASED A CAP (THANK YOU!) OR YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT US.

You're not only supporting our friends, Ciele Athletics, but your purchase helps us, WORK, end generational poverty.

WORK's mission is to accompany families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. We use a holistic approach created alongside our families to accompany them to financial independence. Our wrap-around program includes access to medical care, education assistance for all school-aged children, and professional development and business investment opportunities for adults.

Many of our family members are informal waste collectors who reclaim waste material and divert them from the environment. We work with the collectors to build the capacity of the waste supply chain and improve quality of material, livelihoods, and ensure essential needs are met.  

This year's design is the most unique to date. The color green represents the color of the plastic bottles that are collected and recycled.

The "200" represents the 200 miles that our runners completed in our past event, Run Across Haiti®. Our runners conquered 200 miles over 8 days from the northern tip of the country to its southern end to show that Haiti is not a place to be feared or to be pitied. While that Run is on pause, our community now gathers virtually through our Move Across May, a month-long campaign challenging you to move with us, in whatever way you choose.

The “Block by Block” (or “Kominote pa Kominote” in Haitian Creole) design represents our program model that is created in partnership with our families and communities. 

This new cap design comes as our organization continues to grow and expand our program to additional communities in Haiti and beyond. Thanks to new funding sources, we’ll also bring our model to other countries to address the growing waste crisis globally. We hope you'll continue on this journey with us and invite you to sign up to receive our impact updates. Thanks again for your support.
