Hand-painted ceramic candles, thoughtfully handmade by women artisans in Iraq. Each colorful ceramic pot is individually painted and filled with a naturally scented candle, making every piece a one-of-a-kind work of art.
This eco-friendly candle is designed to be loved long after the last flicker. Once the candle burns down, simply clean out the ceramic vessel and reuse it as a pencil cup, small vase, or catch-all for trinkets, giving it a second life and keeping it out of the landfill.
Every candle arrives in a beautiful gift-ready box with a card sharing the artisan's story in her own words. Your purchase supports meaningful work for women artisans.

Catalyst Collections sells products handcrafted by women in conflict zones and distressed regions, creating an opportunity for them to achieve economic independence for themselves and their families.
This is one artisan's story:
"My name is Nazhat Hadi. I am a wife and mother. Early in my marriage I faced traditions that discouraged women from employment outside the home. I was ready to give up on my dream until I realized my daughters would face the same destiny. So I decided to make changes that would benefit the whole family, and I enrolled in Prosperity Catalyst's program. Today I make beautiful candles to earn an income. My daughters have graduated from college, and my husband supports my entrepreneurial aspirations."
I am a new woman who can work and support others, the woman that I always loved and dreamed to be."
Kulecha Scent: Kulecha is a traditional date filled cookie sweet-smelling dessert, similar to a marshmallow-y scent.

After the Rain Scent: a light fresh scent, similar to fresh linen
