Founded by the JAAGO Foundation and in collaboration with United for Action, a group of young dedicated volunteers of Canada, the JAAGO candle factory hopes to empower women through training and enable better wage and job opportunities for them.

The United for Action is a volunteer based group which aims to empower the public to seek a safer and improved future. Not unlike JAAGO Foundation, this organization welcomes workers regardless of their varied backgrounds to work to bring a change to today's world; and to leave a better future to the next generation.

Although some of the mothers of the JAAGO students and few others in the community work in the JAAGO Sewing Center, there are also a number of women who suffer from poor eye-sight due to negligence over the years and malnutrition. As they cannot see the needle or the thread well enough to work, these women are given special training and later employed at the candle factory. Mombatti, as the candles are named, emphasizes on the word 'Batti' which means 'light' in English; the project was named so as it spreads light in the lives of these unfortunate women.

The candle-making factory not only provides employment to these women, it also provides a safe environment for the workers which is rare elsewhere; no hazards, no heat - according to the staff themselves. As for the products, they are also of international standard. Most of the candles produced are sold locally, but very soon they are about to be exported to Canada. The candles sell at 50 BDT by packets, and are produced for both regular and decorative uses.
