About
I'm creating a women's candle-making and entrepreneurship training program that equips women with practical skills, mentorship, and resources to start and grow their own businesses. $200 fully trains one woman and a candle making kits for practice .
Impact
We’ve trained 50+ students, with 10+ graduates launching their own candle businesses. Our alumni are now building businesses and sharing their skills across 3 West African countries.
Progress
We have built a growing brand, fulfilled customer orders, and trained over 50 women in candle making. Students from Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria have attended our workshops, with many successfully launching their own businesses.
Team
I built Novelty Scent Lab from my small kitchen despite sourcing challenges and limited resources. My journey reflects resilience and determination, and today I use my experience to create quality products while empowering others through training.
