About
70% of our artisans are women. Some artisan groups also seek to employ
persons with physical disabilities. Ten Thousand Villages intentionally
looks to work with people who are unemployed or underemployed. Products
sold by Ten Thousand Villages are often made in small group settings
or in homes where artisans also manage household responsibilities
or farm work. You can read much more about how we work here.
