Davina created Davina’s Celestial Candles, a successful and profitable microenterprise operating at Davina's local markets.
Davina lives independently but finds traditional employment doesn’t support her needs at this stage which was why working while supported in her own home on an activity she loves worked well.
Candle making allows Davina to set her own hours, engage the right supports and focus on an enjoyable hobby. Davina enjoys attending the local markets and selling her merchandise to other candle lovers.
When asked about her microenterprise Davina tells us “it’s good having my own business because it’s flexible and gives me something fun I can do from my own home”.
Davina's grant helped her establish initial stock and equipment to start her candle making. In her first weekend of selling at the markets Davina made enough cash-flow to continue building stock. Winning!
121 Inc. can't wait to get their hands on a set of candles. You can find Davina on her Facebook page: Davina's Celestial Candles.
