Ten Thousand Villages, Utah is a nonprofit storewhose mission is to provide vital income to disadvantaged artisans and theirfamilies. These families live in impoverished areas of the world by marketingtheir handicrafts, telling their stories, and promoting economic justicethrough fair trade.

Many artisans report that fair trade brings themmuch more than regular work and fair pay. They begin to see hope for thefuture, earn dignity and respect in their community and experience joy in beingable to provide for their families.

The handicraft sales allow many artisan groups tosupport not only themselves and their families, but also, the communitydevelopment and education programs. Fair trade allows diverse cultures from aroundthe world to continue to create traditional handicrafts.
