About Us

Burning With A Passion

In 2010 the charity Life Association launched the Dalit Goods brand to raise awareness of the Dalits' plight & also funds for the charity. The idea for Dalit Goods came about as a result of a trip to India by Life Association director Simon Hawthorne.

Whilst there he began to notice a large number of smashed clay pots around the slum areas of Mumbai. These clay pots turned out to be drinking pots which for thousands of years the Dalit people have often been forced to drink from & then smash on the ground as a sign of their supposed untouchability. It is this powerful symbol of oppression that inspired us to launch our range of Dalit branded products.

It is our goal to design and supply ethically sourced and environmentally sensitive products and provide employment to Dalits in India.

For 20 years Life Association has been building schools & children's homes amongst the Dalits in India. Our handmade clay pot candles are each named after a child we have cared for in one of our homes.

How it's Made

Handmade & Hand-Painted

All Dalit candles are handmade by the Dalit people of India and the purchase of these products supports our work with street children of this people group.

Our clay candles are hand thrown in the Dharavi Slums in Mumbai by Dalit Potters and hand filled by Dalit women.

Our handmade papier-mache decorations and our full enamel collection are all hand-painted in Kashmir.
