Artisan Story

MKS Export Ltd. works with Ten Thousand Villages. Ten Thousand Villages operates on an artisan investment model that puts the maker first. They’re built on long-term partnerships and fair trade principles to provide makers in developing countries an opportunity to gain a safety net of financial security and break the cycle of poverty.
