Ten Thousand Villages

Ten Thousand Villages is a socially responsible retailer that connects consumers with artisans from developing countries, showcasing unique, handcrafted products made from local and often recycled materials. With a mission to create opportunities through fair trading relationships, the organization ensures that every purchase helps improve the lives of the makers by providing them with a fair and stable income.

Following the closure of Ten Thousand Villages Canada in June 2020, several locally run stores retained the brand through licensing agreements with Ten Thousand Villages USA, committing to uphold the fair trade values of the original organization. These stores continue to serve as a platform for artisans, allowing customers to shop their values and give meaningful gifts.
