The Raphael Candle Workshop: Crafting Skills, Confidence, and Light

At Raphael, our candle-making workshop is more than a creative activity—it's a path to dignity, independence, and joy for our residents and students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Under the guidance of our vocational trainers, each participant learns to measure, melt, pour, set, and package candles with care. The process not only develops fine motor skills and attention to detail but also fosters confidence, teamwork, and a sense of pride in their abilities.

Every candle crafted at Raphael tells a story of learning and possibility. The students take immense pride in their work, and the smiles you see on their faces are reflected in the warmth and beauty of every candle.

By purchasing these candles, you’re doing more than buying a product—you’re supporting training, livelihood opportunities, and the growth of individuals who are often excluded from mainstream employment. Your contribution helps sustain our vocational programmes and encourages each maker to continue exploring their potential.

Light the way for those who created it. Bring home a candle made with care, hope, and heart today.
