PeaceCYCLE

Amber Rose is the founder of PeaceCYCLE, a social business in Haiti designed to provide dignifying work while cleaning the environment. They collect a pervasive form of plastic trash, reforming it through a labor intensive craft, into durable and desirable products. The journey of observing problems to taking actionable steps in addressing them, has not been a simple process in the poverty stricken and politically unstable nation. PeaceCYCLE's objective is to insert a CYCLE of Peace in the midst of the ongoing negative cycles that plague Haiti. Illiteracy, violence, malnutrition, pollution, gang activity, prostitution, and poverty are a few of the cycles that are interrupted with the insertion of dignifying employment. Simultaneously, the products created at PeaceCYCLE act as a source of education, raising awareness to the consumer, outside of Haiti. Rose's dream is that this CYCLE of Peace will spread, creating a more dignifying, just, and equitable world.
