Ten Thousand Villages is a nonprofit fair trade store in Denver offering a unique selection of handmade global gifts, home decor, oriental rugs, jewelry and personal accessories that represent the diverse cultures of our artisan partners in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.

Our mission is to create opportunities for artisans to earn income by bringing their products and stories to the North American marketplace through long-term fair trading relationships.  Ten Thousand Villages in Denver is one in a network of stores across the U.S. that shares the common vision of bringing dignity and hope to underemployed and unemployed artisans. With artisan partners in over 30 developing countries, we focus on areas where skilled artisans lack opportunities for stable income.
