Today let’s look outside the coffee world to other areas of Fair Trade. There’s an organization in the U.S. and Canada called Ten Thousand Villages that sells wonderful fair trade products such as jewelry, home decor, and gifts.
From tenthousandvillages.com:
Discover a World Of Difference.
At Ten Thousand Villages, we work with over 130 artisan groups in more than 38 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to bring you fair trade jewelry, home decor, gifts and more. As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair trade organizations, we build long-term relationships with artisans that are based on mutual understanding and respect. Fair trade enables artisans to earn a fair wage and provides the opportunity for a better quality of life.
They currently have 155 stores in the U.S. and Canada or you can shop online. For more information, check out their website.
