Ties That Matter

Ties That Matter is a non-profit organization that teaches low income women to make and sell products created from recycled and donated neckties. Although the organization began in Atlanta, its primary focus is in Haiti where it helps women form craft co-ops that provide reliable income for themselves and their villages. 

From the Ties That Matter website:  Ties That Matter is made up of a community of people tied together by a common dream of a whole and healthy earth and a shared belief that we are responsible for one another.Ties That Matter has determined to fulfill this mission by using donated and recycled materials to help low income women find self reliance, sustainability and self respect by creating and selling crafts made from free or recycled materials. We primarily use recycled neckties donated by churches in the United States.

What a great way for churches and school groups to make a difference.  Click here to go to the site to find out how your group can assist in this creative endeavor.
