Hometown Hero
Haitian-born fashion designer Azede Jean-Pierre is working with local artists to create new uniforms for schools in Haiti. “All education in Haiti is private, and I know firsthand how difficult it is for families to afford the tuition, let alone the additional necessities like books, transportation, and uniforms,” said Jean-Pierre. “This project gives parents much-needed support, and it’s my hope that it will increase the efficiency of the traditional attire, as well as boost student self-esteem.”
