Led by the Cabo-Verdean Association of Disabled Persons, Lumiarte is a social enterprise that offers handicapped women in Santiago the opportunity for dignified work producing artisan candles. It is the only candle producer in the country, and all profits go towards improving the lives of disabled persons in Cabo Verde. Each Lumiarte candle is born in the skilled hands of one of our artisans. Each one is a symbol of opportunity and of our shared humanity.
