Welcome! By being here, you’ve either purchased a cap (thank you!) or you're interested in learning more about this cap and its design. By doing so, you’re not only supporting our friends at Ciele Athletics, but your purchase also helps us, WORK, end generational poverty.

Our mission here at WORK is to accompany families in Haiti and beyond out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. We believe in the power of work, and we provide wraparound services in education, healthcare, and job opportunities to help families achieve this goal. The majority of our family members are informal waste collectors, the true heroes of waste supply chains. They do the crucial work of collecting and diverting plastic from the oceans and landfills.

You may be wondering how this hat ties into Ciele Athletics. They have been a proud sponsor of our Run Across Haiti and Move Across May campaigns for the past few years and share our belief in the power of jobs to end poverty. Our friends at Ciele have partnered with us to release exclusive hat collaborations.

This year’s design is the most unique to date. Rather than continue with another black or white edition of their GO Cap, we chose green—the color of the plastic that our collectors in Haiti gather.

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

This new GO Cap design also symbolizes our organization's growth and expansion. After spending nearly a decade in Haiti, we've witnessed the power of jobs in ending poverty for our families, while addressing the global waste crisis. We recognize that our successful model can be implemented in other landfill communities around the world. We’re currently building out our programming in landfill communities in Taiwan and are working to establish a foothold in Ghana.

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.
