Ten Thousand Villages

Ten Thousand Villages is a retail organization committed to fair trade, providing a platform for artisans from developing countries to earn sustainable incomes through the sale of their crafts. Following the closure of its corporate operations in June 2020, select stores in Canada continue to operate independently under a licensing agreement with Ten Thousand Villages USA, maintaining their dedication to the mission of supporting global makers.

The organization emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities for artisans by connecting them with consumers who value ethically sourced products. Each purchase contributes to improving the lives of these makers, who use natural or recycled materials and traditional skills to offer inspired designs crafted with care.
