Campaigns

The Art of Making Foundation, a non-profit organization based in India, is proud to launch its latest campaign – Illuminating Lives. The campaign aims to empower underserved girls from rural India by providing them with skills and training in candle-making, and creating a sustainable source of income for them. In this blog post, we will delve deeper into the Illuminating Lives campaign and how you can support it.

Why Illuminating Lives Campaign is Important?

In India, girls from rural communities often face limited opportunities for education and employment, which restricts their growth and development. According to a report by UNICEF, over 30 million girls in India do not go to school, and many drop out before completing their education. This lack of education leads to limited economic opportunities for them, perpetuating a cycle of poverty.

The Art of Making Foundation recognizes this challenge and seeks to address it through its Illuminating Lives campaign. The campaign aims to provide underserved girls with skills and training in candle-making using 3D printing technology. By providing these girls with this skill set, they are equipped to earn a livelihood and break the cycle of poverty. With the growing demand for eco-friendly and customized candles, this skill set can help them secure jobs in the STEAM industry, further contributing towards their community’s economic growth.

The Art of Making Foundation’s Approach:

The Art of Making Foundation works with underserved girls from Dehradun, located in the foothills of the Himalayas, to train them in candle-making. These girls are provided with a safe and nurturing environment, where they can learn and grow. The foundation uses a 21st-century approach to candle making, which involves using 3D printing technology to create unique and customized designs.
