Wick of Hope, a rapidly growing Canadian candle company founded by Andy and Selvia Theng, is deepening its commitment to social and environmental causes by increasing the impact of its donations through every candle sold. Since its inception in September 2024, the company has successfully merged high-quality, non-toxic candle production with the pursuit of meaningful social change. With its latest expansion, Wick of Hope is enhancing its contributions to survivors of trafficking, vulnerable children, and environmental sustainability efforts.
The company’s ethos is rooted in the belief that quality products and purposeful actions can coexist. Wick of Hope candles are carefully hand-poured in small batches using coconut soy wax and FSC-certified wooden wicks. These ingredients are chosen not only for their non-toxic qualities but also for their commitment to sustainability. Each candle is designed to offer an eco-conscious alternative to conventional home products while also providing an opportunity for consumers to make a positive impact on the world.
Elevating Social Impact With Increased Contributions
In its ongoing mission to drive change, Wick of Hope has partnered with i=Change, a giving platform that directs donations to high-impact NGOs. Through this partnership, the company donates $1 from every order to support critical causes, including aiding survivors of human trafficking, providing emergency support for children in crisis, and improving healthcare access for children in underserved areas around the world.
Following this latest announcement, Wick of Hope is increasing its financial contributions to further amplify the impact of each candle sold. The company is enhancing its relationship with i=Change, expanding the range of NGOs and causes it supports. This move is in line with Wick of Hope’s long-term goal of creating a scalable model where each consumer purchase contributes to sustainable and life-changing initiatives worldwide.
A Dual Commitment to Social Change and Sustainability
While Wick of Hope’s social mission is its foundation, the company is also unwavering in its commitment to environmental sustainability. The brand has collaborated with Greenspark, a platform dedicated to environmental initiatives, to fund projects that promote tree planting and ocean clean-ups. Through this partnership, Wick of Hope’s customers are directly contributing to efforts that protect the planet.
“As a company, we are committed to more than just producing high-quality candles,” says Andy Theng, co-founder of Wick of Hope. “We are creating a pathway for our customers to contribute to both the well-being of people and the health of the planet. We believe in giving back at every level, and our expansion reflects that philosophy.”
Incorporating eco-conscious materials and processes into production is an important aspect of the company’s identity. Wick of Hope aims to minimize its environmental footprint by using FSC-certified wooden wicks, coconut soy wax, and high-quality essential & fragrance oils free from parabens and phthalates. In doing so, the company ensures its products are both safer for people and more sustainable for the planet.
Crafting Candles With Intention
The journey that led to the creation of Wick of Hope was born out of the founders’ personal need for healthier candles. Both Andy and Selvia sought alternatives to conventional candles, which often contained chemicals that aggravated health issues such as asthma and headaches. This experience prompted them to develop candles that prioritized clean-burning ingredients and non-toxic materials.
“The idea behind Wick of Hope was simple,” says Selvia Theng, co-founder. “We wanted to create a product that not only brought comfort to people’s homes but also had a positive ripple effect on the world. Every candle sold should be a small act of kindness to someone in need.”
With each purchase, customers become part of a greater mission to fund social justice causes and environmental preservation, while enjoying the high-quality craftsmanship of a non-toxic, sustainable candle. The growing demand for Wick of Hope candles is a testament to the increasing desire among consumers for brands that are both purpose-driven and environmentally conscious.
A Growing Brand, Grounded in Community and Values
The success of Wick of Hope has largely been fueled by word-of-mouth referrals and community engagement. Since its launch, the company has witnessed a surge in interest, as consumers continue to prioritize brands that align with their values. Wick of Hope’s transparent business practices, commitment to sustainability, and social impact have established it as a leader in the emerging market of responsible consumer goods.
Looking ahead, the company plans to further expand its offerings, including new scent collections and collaborations with other like-minded brands to deepen its mission. By connecting with consumers on a shared commitment to making a difference, Wick of Hope is positioned to continue its positive impact and grow its loyal customer base.
