Fruit scented and patriotically coloured “Magnificent Candles” are being produced by the Mahaica Women’s Group, a group of single mothers and early school leavers, the Department of Public Information (DPI ) says.

The Region Five women recently ventured into candle and craft making, and recycling.

Sold at the Guyana Shop on Robb Street, Georgetown, the products have attracted a steady stream of consumers, DPI said.
