Ten Thousand Villages, St. Paul

Ten Thousand Villages is so much more than a store. We're a not-for-profit  global maker‑to‑market movement. We're a way for you to shop with intention for ethically-sourced wares — and to share in the joy of connecting with makers around the world.

With your donation, we can continue to break the cycle of poverty and impact the lives of 20,000 makers in 30 countries around the world. 

As a pioneer of fair trade, we do business differently, putting people and planet first. That means you can trust that every handmade purchase you make from us directly impacts the life and community of its maker in a developing country.

We know because we've been there. Our average buying relationship with artisan groups is 25 years. That's enough time to see their children flourish as they grow into adulthood. Every handcrafted product generates income —  and has a positive community impact for future generations!

Investing in a fair trade organization is an investment in humanity.
