(p.s. sorry Wishlist Wednesday is making an appearance on a Thursday!)
Here is what Ten Thousand Villages has to say about themselves and their values:
"Ten Thousand Villages is an exceptional source for unique handmade
gifts, jewelry, home decor, art and sculpture, textiles, serveware and
personal accessories representing the diverse cultures of artisans in
Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. One of the world's
largest fair trade organizations and a founding member of the World Fair
Trade Organization (WFTO),
the company strives to improve the livelihood of tens of thousands of
disadvantaged artisans in 38 countries. Ten Thousand Villages
accomplishes this by establishing a sustainable market for handmade
products in North America, and building long term buying relationships
in places where skilled artisan partners lack opportunities for stable
income. Product sales help pay for food, education, healthcare and
housing for artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed."
All of these pieces are beautiful and so is Ten Thousand Villages' mission! Thanks for sharing!!

ReplyDeleteI'm always looking out for fair trade products and companies! While I admit I don't know a great deal about fair trade (I should do some more research into it), I know it offers many people some great opportunities.
