Your Cart is Empty
Behind every candle we pour is a resilient woman and her journey toward a brighter future. Whether fleeing persecution, a war widow, or a mother escaping poverty, her strength and perseverance have led her to Prosperity Candle. She is rebuilding her life one candle at a time.
Your candle includes the name of the woman candle maker who made it for you, either on the label or a story card. She would love to hear from you.
