Your purchase of Shantimalai Nag Champa directly benefits village women trained in the art of creating incense sticks through Shantimalai Research & Development Trust.

A public charitable organization, the Trust serves the inhabitants of a culturally rich but impoverished region of Tamil Nadu, south India.

Projects fostered by the trust offer training and employment for widows, abandoned mothers and handicapped or unmarried women who previously could hope to find work only as heavy field or construction laborers.
