Ten Thousand Villages, the largest fair trade organization in North
America, works to provide vital, fair income to artisans in Africa, Asia
and Latin America by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories.
The nonprofit organization has its American headquarters in Akron, Pennsylvania
and Canadian headquarters in New Hamburg, Ontario, and relies on a network
of volunteers to keep operating costs low and to share its story with
consumers. Tens of thousands of artisans benefit from the dedication
and involvement of hundreds of volunteers across North America. Whether
volunteers pull and pack orders in the warehouse or unpack merchandise
and assist customers in a store, they know that their involvement changes
artisans’ lives. Not a subscriber? |
