Fair World Marketplace was a fair trade store
(a Ten Thousand Villages partner store) located in Syracuse/DeWitt, New York. Over seven years, sales from this store provided more than $250,000 in income for artisan and farmer co-ops throughout the world. Declining sales following the 2008 recession forced the store's closure in 2011.

Thank you for your support for fair trade!

Choose Dignity and Freedom


Your purchase of a Fair World Marketplace tote helps provide a sustainable income to over 50 former prostitutes in Calcutta, breaking the cycle of poverty for these women and their daughters.

To continue in the spirit of their mission locally, we will donate 20% of your tote purchase to Vera House.

Located in Syracuse, Vera House works to support those affected by domestic and sexual violence to live safe, self-sufficient lives, to empower women and children and to promote a culture of equality and respect in relationships. For more on their mission, please visit http://www.verahouse.org/ .
