Not Just A Candle

For over 3000 years the Dalits – or Untouchables – have been positioned at the bottom of India’s society and are subject to the most aggressive and dehumanising abuse. They are born into a culture that devalues them from birth with society considering them lower than animals. The term ‘Dalit’ literally translates to downtrodden or oppressed and there are 250 million Dalits who are exposed to this injustice.

We believe that the injustice of the Dalits is the biggest human rights issue in the world today – Please help us make a difference.

Every purchase of a Dalit candle contributes directly to our mission of empowerment. Our terracotta candles are lovingly handcrafted by the resilient Dalit community, providing them with dignified livelihoods and sustainable income opportunities.

At our core, we are committed to fostering positive change and social impact. By supporting Dalit Goods, you are not only embracing ethical consumption but also championing the rights and well-being of the Dalit people.
