Empowering Artisans, Transforming Lives: About Ten by Three

At Ten by Three, we believe in the power of craftsmanship to change the world. Founded on the principles of fair trade and sustainable development, our mission extends far beyond the creation of beautiful, handcrafted products. We are a St. Louis-based organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty, one artisan at a time. Through our unique model, we blend traditional artistry with modern entrepreneurship, ensuring that every item tells a story of hope, resilience, and empowerment.

Prosperity Through Partnership

Our cornerstone, the Prosperity Wages® model, sets us apart. By ensuring that our artisans receive wages 2.5 times higher than fair trade standards, we provide them with more than just an income—they gain a foundation for a sustainable future.
