Tisaksuk, established in 2013, is a social enterprise, for-profit, that promotes and markets the products made by Atelier Tisaksuk. Tisaksuk has made a name for itself by modernizing and revolutionizing how people consume products that are made in Haiti both on the local market and internationally, especially clothing. The store holds the reputation of being one of the most innovative and having the highest quality “Made in Haiti” brands. Tisaksuk maintains a physical store in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and an online platform where products are made available internationally. Tisaksuk recently launched a distribution center and storefront in Tampa Florida.
Atelier Tisaksuk is based in Carrefour Haiti and was established in 2015; Carrefour literally means “intersection”, a name that fits the structure of this complicated and maze-like city where residents have lived for generations and have deep-rooted history, sprinkled among new arrivals from the countryside, as well as a new generation trying to make a life just outside the capital. Much of the area has become overpopulated (estimated at over 500,000 people), straining the natural environment and infrastructure, and a large majority of the population is struggling to make a better life while living in grinding poverty.
In some ways, the community is a microcosm of Haiti at large. Despite birthing great artists, thought leaders and entrepreneurs, the neighborhood has been abandoned by many who move deeper into Port-au-Prince, in hopes of a better life and now, to escape gang-controlled areas. A situation known all too well by Atelier Tisaksuk who had to temporarily relocate her workshop for safety reasons.
