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

Gayle K.

'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.'

'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.'

Cycle of Success.

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