does not exist for profit, instead we exist to raise money for communities in Asia, where there are rural villages in need of educational skills and basic resources. We realise that we live in a privileged society with great education, families and plenty of nutrition. However, in rural India, only 3.5% of students graduate from school and a massive 35.7% of residents cannot read or write.*
When
you purchase your Sapling Candle, you're not just receiving an insanely great smelling soy candle, you're funding a small business for a woman, a community for the mentally disabled and a secure home for a child. Join us as we rally together to generate lasting change in rural Indian communities! Our profits train young leaders in rural Indian villages to educate, lead and up-skill their own local communities. We fund their ability to start their own schools, their own disability assistance programs and their own orphan care programs. It's Indians supporting Indians, with the funds that we raise!
