Ten Thousand Villages is the oldest and largest Fair Trade organization in North America, selling artisan-crafted personal accessories, home décor and gift items from around the globe.
Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit program of the Mennonite Central Committee Canada and is a member of the World Fair Trade Organization, a coalition of handicraft and agricultural producer organizations, Fair Trade organizations from both the North and the South.
Ten Thousand Villages creates opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to our markets through long-term, fair trading relationships.
This is not a fundraiser for the United Church it is our way of helping reach out to those around the world. As well as artisans getting a fair dollar for their work 10% of the sales will go to the Early Childhood Intervention Program here in La Ronge.
