Welcome!

One Fair World (formerly Ten Thousand Villages) in Salem, Oregon, is a fair trade, not-for-profit retailer of quality, artisan-crafted home décor, accessories, candles, personal care items, jewelry, musical instruments, cards, stationery, baskets, carvings, as well as some food products such as coffee, chocolate, cocoa and tea.

Once you walk through our door, you will find unique, beautiful and delicious products from around the world. Many items are produced with recycled and/or natural, sustainable materials.

We think you will be amazed at the variety of items to be found in our 800 square feet of space in historic, revitalized downtown Salem, where we have been located for eight years. The store may be relatively small, but the selection is vast. Each product will connect you with a talented, hardworking individual in a developing country – each with his or her own story.

We are part of a network of fair trade stores throughout the United States and Canada, whose primary mission is the alleviation of poverty. Our sources have spent decades cultivating long-term trading relationships in which artisans and producers receive a fair price for their work and consumers have access to distinctive handcrafted pieces and delicious food items.

Thus, in places where women and men were either unemployed or underemployed, and in which they lacked other opportunities to earn an income, they now have hope. They become self-sufficient and can provide food, housing, education (including books, tuition and school uniforms) and health care for themselves and their families.
