Ten Thousand Villages

Ten Thousand Villages is a retail organization dedicated to connecting consumers with artisans from developing countries, offering handcrafted products made from local materials. The organization promotes fair trading relationships, ensuring that artisans receive stable income while preserving traditional crafts and skills.

Following the closure of its corporate operations in Canada in June 2020, several independently-run stores continue to uphold the mission of Ten Thousand Villages, operating under a licensing agreement with Ten Thousand Villages USA. These stores remain committed to promoting fair trade and providing meaningful gifts that tell the stories of their makers.
