I first discovered Haiti Babi through a photography client of mine, and even though I don't have any kids, I instantly fell in love with these blankets and the story behind them. They are so soft and have a nice weight to them, and my future babies will definitely be wrapped in these blankets :)

Haiti Babi blankets are handmade by women in Haiti, whom are paid more than twice the minimum wage in Haiti. This allows the women to provide for their families and send their children to school. The founder of Haiti Babi, Katlin, travels back and forth from Seattle to Haiti, ensuring the blankets are of the highest quality, as are the working conditions. What surprised me the most when I spoke with Katlin was learning that a lot of kids who are in orphanages in Haiti aren't orphans at all, but are sent there because their families unfortunately cannot provide for them. Haiti Babi is helping stop that, by allowing mothers to have a job and earn enough money to care for their children at home and in school. You can learn more about the mothers working for Haiti Babi by clicking here.

These blankets come in all different colors, so whether you want something pink, blue, gender neutral or extra colorful, there are so many beautiful shades to choose from. Definitely check Haiti Babi out, whether for your own baby or for some mamas you know!

Lastly, I want to mention that none of these posts on Shop Ethically are sponsored, meaning, I don't make any money off of this project. I'm simply doing it to promote ethical brands, and I hope it's a helpful resource that inspires others to shop ethically :)
