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.
Cotton sari fabric is found in abundance in the marketplaces in India. Makers and designers have found many ways to upcycle these stunning textiles when they are no longer usable as garments. These earrings are a fantastic example of that innovation! Wire links are wrapped in two tones of cotton sari fabric, creating a dual-tone color palette in the Sari Links Earrings with gold colored metal finishings.

THE MAKERS
TARA Projects stands for "Trade Alternative Reform Action." Working in a 125-mile radius of Delhi, TARA is a fair trade program for community development and business. The organization enables hundreds of artisans who create some of the major handicraft lines of North India to sell their products internationally. TARA is one of the pioneering Indian organizations in the field of fair wages, non formal education programs for children and women, health and environmental awareness and further development for its member artisans. Artisan benefits from TARA include medical insurance, interest-free loans and advances, a savings program and skills training. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from TARA since 1986.
