Candelas La Luciernaga
Honduras
The cooperative Candelas La Luciérnaga (“Firefly Candles”) is a project of the nonprofit women’s organization Actions for Popular Development (ADP). The work of ADP, an organization dedicated to the empowerment and welfare of women, includes a shelter for abused women and their children, a home for pregnant women and a microlending program. La Luciérnaga supports ADP financially while providing the women artisans with income. La Luciérnaga artisans produce a variety of candles, decorated with natural materials like dried flowers and leaves.
Candelas La Luciérnaga was established in 1999. Women of the ADP abused women’s shelter decided to make decorative candles after having difficulty raising funds for the shelter.
Ten Thousand Villages purchases candles from La Luciérnaga. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from La Luciérnaga since 2002. We are featuring these beautiful candles this month. Come in...
Ten Thousand Villages Seattle is a fair trade retailer. Featuring products from more than 130 artisan groups in 38 countries, we are part of a network of more than 156 retail outlets throughout the United States selling Ten Thousand Villages products.
As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair trade organizations, Ten Thousand Villages has spent more than 60 years cultivating trading relationships in which artisans receive a fair price for their work and consumers have access to distinctive handcrafted items. A founding member of the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT), Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade.
To many, fair trade is just an economic term. Our definition, however, runs far deeper. At Ten Thousand Villages, fair trade is a partnership based on dialogue, mutual understanding, respect and direct contact between ourselves and our artisan partners in developing countries.
