FALL/WINTER 2012
welcome from JULIE Welcome to Vi Bella Jewelry! We are so excited to share our beautiful jewelry—and our mission—with you. Vi Bella grew out of a trip I took to Haiti in June, 2010. The earthquake had devastated Port-au Prince five months earlier, and I was overwhelmed by the desperate living conditions that thousands of Haitians were living in. The foreign aid that Haiti received after the quake did save lives but it could not address the causes underlying this heart-wrenching poverty. As I got to know my Haitian brothers and sisters, I learned that many of them had been living in extreme poverty for decades. Because jobs are so scarce many Haitians could barely afford to feed their families, let alone pay for school, clothing or housing. More than anything else, Haitian women needed good jobs. My mission group and I prayed that God would help our new friends. God answered our prayers with the idea of Vi Bella. Vi Bella means beautiful life. We find inspiration in Jesus’s promise in John 10:10b: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Vi Bella is a self-sustaining ministry that provides life-changing jobs to at-risk women. Our employees are talented artists who craft every piece of jewelry with pride and care. We pay all our artists a living wage and provide a safe work environment, on-site meals, and community support. We also pray with our artists daily and host Bible studies for them. Our artists use their new income to vastly improve their families’ living conditions. Our work is also cleaning up Haiti. Our jewelry is made from recycled materials, mostly plastic bottles. When we first started creating our jewelry, we could find all the plastic we needed by just picking discarded bottles off the ground. Now, we have up-scaled so many bottles, we need to ask the
2
local recycling centers for some of theirs! We’re also using recycled glass, paper, and bottle caps in new, creative ways. Finally, we reinvest our profits back into our artists’ communities. We currently support orphanages and schools in Haiti, after-school programs in Mexico, and mentoring programs in the United States. We are also expanding our business to create even more jobs and beautiful products. In short, your purchase supports sustainable employment, a healthy environment, and community development. Thank you for sharing in the mission of Vi Bella Jewelry —creating a more beautiful life for our sisters, their families, and communities.
OUR MISSION: Sharing the LOVE OF CHRIST

I feel special when I get up in the morning and know that I have a job to go to. Most of the people I know don’t have that. I especially like to assemble the necklaces. They look so pretty when I am finished with them! Getting to pray with my friends before we start work and before we go home helps me have a good day! - Joane
My job at Vi Bella helps me with EVERYTHING! I like to roll and heat the beads. I’m very good at making good beads! I love to pray together. Even when I get home, I pray for my Vi Bella sisters and for everyone in Vi Bella in Haiti, Mexico, and in the United States. - Leneska
