Blossom Inspirations and Bright Endeavors have joined effort, partnership and cobranding to transform more lives in our community.

Right now, making Blossom Inspirations’ candleholders gourds with Peruvian artisans, we have also found a way to support young moms in Chicago, through the artfully hand-poured paid job training program of Bright Endeavors.

Therefore, the purchase of a candle is supporting families and community transformation in Peru and Chicago on their economic independence, better education, social well-being, and self-esteem.

Each candle starts with a natural gourd that was handpicked, dried, cut, carved, painted, and polished by a family of artisans in Peru. The tradition of carved gourds is an artistic expression that dates back over 3,000 years.

Designed by Blossom Inspirations, who trains the artisans to reproduce that unique design and help them in their competitive advantage, differentiation in the market, access to other markets, improve their income and quality of life.

100% soy vegetable wax poured in Chicago with Lavender fragrance into each holder, creating the candle. LEAD FREE PRODUCT
