'I used the shabbat small candles for Yom Kippur—had 40 people for dinner and the candles were beautiful!'

Gayle K., Kansas City, Missouri

'Since we started selling your candles our candle sales really picked up!  I think our customers love the beauty of your hand-decorated fair trade candles and they love that you have such a big selection of designs.'

'My wife loves these candles.  I am impressed with how clean they burn and how nice they look.'

'The Kapula candles fit well in our museum shops. Our customers love the story of the women that make the candles, and the fact that each one is hand painted. The candles sell well all year.'

Thumbprint Artifacts 'cycle of success' works to create self-sufficiency for our artisans. We purchase the product, import to the USA, sell the product, and order more creating more employment for the artisans.

Cycle of Success

We recognize entrepreneurial spirit by supporting artisan companies in South Africa. This support translates into empowerment and self-sufficiency that helps our artisans - most of whom are single mothers -  care for themselves, their families, and contribute to their communities.
