Looking for a unique piece of art for your home that not only looks beautiful but also tells a beautiful story? The Beacon of Light Candlesticks are perfect! Handcarved out of musave wood, each candlestick empowers an artisan with a much needed job. I had the opportunity to carve with the guys in their workshop in Muhanga Rwanda. Everything is done by hand and no machine ever touches your product. The level of skill required to carve each one is amazing! Whether you create a beautiful tablescape with them or put them on your shelves, you will love looking at them. This would make a special gift!

Fun fact: Using musave wood is a stainable way to carve. They cut branches to create each design versus cutting the tree down. This fast growing tree then continues to regenerate branches!

Dimensions: Small 7.5 inches, Medium 9.5 inches, Large 11.5 inches

Azizi Life is a ministry in Rwanda that believes in empowering individuals with a hand up and not a hand out. They also believe in physical and spiritual wholeness for the entire community. As the artisans work together, they build a support system. In one community, there has been incredible reconciliation between the victims and the perpetrators of genocide. Know that when you purchase a beautiful Azizi Life product, that you are playing a role in the transformation happening in villages in Rwanda. 

Empowering people. Changing lives.
