CONNECTING YOU TO THE WORLD 

Empower Change with Every Purchase. Buy Artisanal Crafts That Transform Lives.

WHO WE ARE:
Ten by Three, a St. Louis-based nonprofit, has pioneered a sustainable way to end extreme poverty. Our 10x3 model ensures that when we buy at least 10 products per month from an artisan at Prosperity Wages (2.5x fair trade), they can launch three small businesses, all debt-free. Unlike micro-lending, our approach fosters lasting entrepreneurship without loans or interest. 

Show me the model

WHAT WE DO:
We partner with 3,000+ artisans across seven countries, paying Prosperity Wages, 2.5x fair trade. This “more than” money empowers artisans to launch three small businesses, each creating four income streams on average. Our debt-free, sustainable model breaks the cycle of poverty and builds lasting generational wealth. 

I want proof this model works

WHY YOU MATTER: 
Our 10x3 model only works when you participate. Each item you buy is individually numbered, allowing you to connect directly with your artisan through our Artisan&You program. Your purchase fuels their journey from poverty to entrepreneurship, helping them build three sustainable businesses. Your purchase is a lifeline, the spark for a brighter future, and creates stories of human connection you will be proud to share.

YES - I will shop and help people

HERITAGE CRAFTS

Each item is a labor of love, meticulously handcrafted and subjected to our rigorous seven-step quality control process. This commitment to quality begins the moment artisans join our program, ensuring every product meets our high standards. As they preserve their heritage crafts, and earn they also start three businesses.

SUSTAINABILITY

At Ten by Three®, our promise to purchase 10 products per month from each artisan provides the funding  for them to launch at least three small businesses debt free. Entrepreneurship sparks  sustainable financial independence, breaking the generational cycle of poverty

GLOBAL IMPACT

Our innovative Prosperity Wages® model guarantees earnings beyond fair trade standards, empowering artisans to achieve entrepreneurship without the need for middlemen and the burden of micro-lending debt.
