IMPACT: Made with love in Peru ♥ Ten Thousand Villages is a global maker-to-market movement that addresses economic injustice. They are a pioneer of fair trade, they do business differently, putting people and the planet first. That means you can trust that every purchase you make directly impacts the life and community of its maker in an under-resourced community. Together we break the cycle of generational poverty and ignite social change. #LiveLifeFair

THE MAKER: Deep and lasting relationships are essential to this family-run business, whose name means "hands joined in friendship." They bring the wares of 60 workshops across Peru - gourd carvers, ceramicists, jewelry makers and reverse-painted glass artisans - to market. They create a variety of exquisite handicrafts that tell stories of tradition and resilience. "I want to keep going, keep working to get ahead. My work is a happiness." - Eulogio Medina
