"Before Cerita Hijau, I was struggling to feed my three children. Now I make beautiful candles from cooking oil waste and earn enough to send them to school. This program didn't just give me skills - it gave me hope."
Artisan & Mother of 3, Jakarta
"We've been sourcing handcrafted candles from Cerita Hijau for our hotel chain. Our guests love the story behind each product, and it perfectly aligns with our sustainability goals. The quality is consistently excellent."
