Vi Bella has been providing full time employment for at-risk individuals since 2011.
Our Founder, Julie Hulstein, was moved to action after witnessing the impact of a devastating earthquake on the country of Haiti. She witnessed many children in orphanages that had at least one living parent who simply could not afford to care for their basic needs. She saw despair and an extreme lack of good jobs. The people she met needed steady employment to keep their families together. Vi Bella was born out of a response to this call to seek justice and to love our neighbors.
But, our story doesn't stop in Haiti. With two centers operational there, Vi Bella expanded to the small village of Pesqueria, Mexico. The Vi Bella story has grown to provide employment, education, and opportunity to more than 60 artisans in Haiti, Mexico, and right here in the United States.

About- Vi Bella has been providing full time employment for at-risk individuals since 2011. Our founder was moved to action after witnessing the impact of a devastating earthquake on the country of Haiti. The people she met needed steady employment to keep their families together. In Haiti, good jobs are scarce. Many parents simply cannot afford to care for their child's basic needs, so their children are sent to live in orphanages. In fact, over 80% of the children in Haitian orphanages have at least one living parent,. Vi Bella was born out of a response to this call to provide good employment in safe working environments, so families could stay together. Our story doesn't stop in Haiti, however. With two centers operational there, Vi Bella expanded to the small village of Pesqueria, Mexico. The Vi Bella story has grown to provide employment, education, and opportunity to more than 60 artisans in Haiti, Mexico, and right here in the United States.
