Empower & Overcome

At Ten by Three, each basket we sell is a testament to our mission of uplifting artisans through economic empowerment. Recently, we faced a significant challenge when a shipment from Bangladesh arrived in St. Louis laden with items that did not meet our quality control standards. 

Kristy, our country lead in Bangladesh, is a remarkable and capable young woman. Because of her hard work and dedication, she was named Country Lead of the Year in 2023. Despite her achievements, Kristy’s ability to enforce these standards was compromised because of her gender, age, and marital status in a male-dominated society.

We stand firmly with Kristy, championing her leadership because we believe in nurturing local leaders to foster profound social change and economic empowerment. Your support will help us offset these unexpected losses and reinforce our commitment to delivering the highest quality goods. Join us in our mission to empower and overcome, driving meaningful change where it's most needed. Every donation supports our unwavering dedication to our artisans and leaders like Kristy, who face daunting challenges with courage and resilience.
