Pāli x Kenshi Collaboration: Empowering Communities Through Artisan Craft and Social Impact
At Kenshi Candles, we are proud to announce our partnership with Pāli Baskets, another inspiring social enterprise dedicated to fostering economic empowerment in Burmese communities. This collaboration marks a significant step towards achieving our shared mission of creating sustainable livelihoods and combating poverty, both locally and internationally.
Why Partnering with Another Social Enterprise Matters
Partnering with Pāli Baskets aligns perfectly with Kenshi's commitment to social responsibility. By joining forces, we amplify our impact and extend our reach, supporting artisanal traditions and economic development in Myanmar. Pāli Baskets, like Kenshi Candles, prioritises community well-being, ensuring that artisans can work from home, care for their families, and contribute to their villages' prosperity. This partnership enables us to create a more profound and sustainable difference together than we could alone.
Our Shared Mission: Empowering Communities
Pāli Baskets engages approximately 600 skilled artisans across four villages, predominantly led by female village heads. Through direct trade and ongoing orders, they provide stable employment, financial security, and educational opportunities for families, paving the way for a brighter future. Similarly, Kenshi Candles began with a mission to combat hunger and food insecurity in Australia, collaborating with the Chin refugee community to create handcrafted candles that empower and uplift.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Pāli Baskets’ commitment to sustainability mirrors Kenshi's dedication to ethical production. Their baskets, woven from a mix of new, reused, and recycled materials such as colourful pallet strapping and plastic bottles, not only promote environmental stewardship but also support local collectors and artisans. Likewise, Kenshi Candles ensures every candle is crafted with care and purpose, embodying our belief in sustainable practices and social impact.
Join Us in Making a Difference
Together, through the Pāli x Kenshi Collaboration, we invite you to support our shared values of community empowerment, sustainability, and social change. Every purchase of our collaborative hamper—a Pāli Basket filled with a selection of Kenshi Candles—directly contributes to these meaningful causes. Join us on this journey of making a positive impact, one candle and one basket at a time.
