Candle No. 1

Incausa is a unique social entrepreneurship venture founded by Vinicius Vieira de Vieira and Carolina Vieira, from Brazil. Established in 2012, Incausa operates both as a for-profit entity through the sales of its branded luxury goods—such as fine soaps, skin oils, and handcrafted wares—and as a not-for-profit organization, channeling the proceeds from the wholesale sales of indigenous-made items back to the artisans. This innovative business model aims to support indigenous communities by connecting their products to the international market without charging producers, thereby promoting economic autonomy among indigenous artisans.
