Mama Lucy sold chickens. She saved her income and, in 2003, used it to start a primary school near her home in Tanzania, believing that education is the key to transforming a country gripped by poverty. Now, hundreds of amazing children from local villages attend Mama Lucy's school - aspiring doctors, teachers and astronauts - each of them inspired by her to change the world. Mama Lucy's name is derived from a word that means "shine". She does, and by purchasing this candle, you're helping to expand her school, and shine her light into the lives of even more children.
Hand-poured at the exclusive <a href="http://www.timothyjaycandles.com/" target="_blank">Timothy Jay studio in West Hollywood</a>, this candle's fragrance is reminiscent of bamboo and tiny jasmine-like coffee flowers that blanket the slopes of Mount Meru, one of the tallest peaks in all of Africa, in whose shadow Mama Lucy's students learn and grow.
