The war in Ukraine is turning the daily lives of millions of families upside down, and its consequences are being felt well beyond the country's borders. At Terre de Bougies, we have decided to act in our own way to help households plunged into darkness.
A spotlight on the crisis in Ukraine
Since February 2022, war has broken out in Ukraine. Its consequences for our daily lives, but also for the whole of Europe, worry us and affect us deeply.
The entire country is affected, but it is the East that has been hit hardest by the conflict. Most of the women and children have fled, while many continue to fight to defend their country. The people who have stayed near the front lines, such as in Marioupol, are facing a desperate shortage of food, drinking water and essential resources: heating, electricity. And the lack of electricity plunges families into darkness. It is precisely on this need that we have chosen to act.
Candles in the face of the electricity shortage
To help households cut off from power, we are sending 750 kg of ready-to-use unscented candles, with the support of the association PromoUkraïna. The aim: to allow people to light their homes and carry out their everyday household tasks, even after nightfall.
We have organised the entire logistics operation to make sure this donation reaches Ukrainian families safely.
A word about our delivery times
Faced with this unprecedented situation, a shortage of raw materials — including some of our waxes — is currently lengthening the delivery times of several of our products. We offer you our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and are doing everything we can to resolve it as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and your solidarity.
