🌍 Meet the Artisans – The Story Behind the Craft:
These exquisite candles are handcrafted by NOBUNTO, a South African Fair Trade company dedicated to producing high-quality hand-painted candles, ceramics, and greeting cards.
Located in Napier, a small village about 180 km east of Cape Town, NOBUNTO was founded to create economic opportunities in a region with over 50% unemployment. By employing mainly women from disadvantaged backgrounds, the organization ensures fair wages, ethical practices, and sustainable development for over 18 families.
The word "NOBUNTO" comes from the Sotho language, meaning "For the People," reflecting their commitment to social responsibility and ethical craftsmanship.
💛 A meaningful and artistic piece that celebrates African heritage and empowers communities.
