Welcome to our global maker-to-market movement where, together with 20,000 artisans, we ignite social change. We create opportunities for individuals, families, and communities in developing countries to thrive through strong relationships, fair wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices.
Raise the bar on that cup of cheer with a metallic ornament set featuring classic cocktails - a margarita, a martini and a tumbler with an umbrella. Too fun to put away, add this sparkly set to your bar cart after the holidays! These ornaments are brought to you by our fair trade partner Prokritee, employing women in rural Bangladesh, providing them sustainable income so they can secure proper housing, adequate food and education for their children.

THE MAKERS
Prokritee (meaning "nature" in Bengali) manages several handicraft enterprises and helps other groups sell their products in local and foreign markets. Prokritee and its enterprises provide jobs for poor rural women. By providing jobs for women, Prokritee improves women’s standard of living and helps them send their children to school. The organization provides skills development training to artisans. Prokritee creates and promotes income–generating projects that benefit the artisans, adhere to good safety and environmental standards, and have the potential to become self–reliant. Prokritee was established in 2001 as an independent organization. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Prokritee and its predecessor MCC Bangladesh since 1986.
