Ten Thousand Villages Harrisonburg

Ten Thousand Villages' mission is to create opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to our markets through long-term fair trading relationships.

Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit retail store that provides vital, fair income to people in developing nations by marketing their handicrafts, selling their products, and telling their stories in North America. Ten Thousand Villages works with artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed. This income helps pay for food, education, health care and housing.
