Ten Thousand Villages in Overland Park, Kansas is proud to be one of the oldest and largest fair trade organizations in the world.  The Overland Park store serves the entire Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas Metropolitan area with fairly traded items from over 35 developing countries throughout Africa, Central and South America and Asia.  A founding member of IFAT (International Fair Trade Association), they see fair trade as an alternative to conventional international trade.

Not only do they sell fairly traded handicrafts and beautiful home decor from skilled artisans, they also sell fairly traded coffee, tea, and chocolate. They have bean soup mixes and dips and salsas from groups that help women in need. They have multi-cultural music and books that are perfect for classrooms and home use alike.
