That\u2019s the number of children that die from hunger every year \u2013 can you imagine? Statistics like this touch us deeply which is why we hold onto our mission to fight world hunger for more than 11 years now.<\/p>\n<h1>More than just candles<\/h1>\n<p>In 2010 we thought that making and selling fragrant quality candles is nice, but we want to do more! We want to make a change in this world with what we do. Of course with Bridgewater Candles create cosy homes and cause happy smiles all over the world when they are lit, but our goal was to make an impact that goes much further!

Fighting hunger means providing meals! And not only one meal, but we wanted to fill the belly of a kid for a whole day. So we decided that for every Bridgewater Candle we want to donate 3 meals for a child in need. We teamed up with our great partner Rice Bowls, a non-profit organization that helps us get food to orphaned kids all over the world. They provide food budget for orphanages across the globe and do a really great job! The food that they provide for the kids is locally sourced, nutritious and of course delicious!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1279807865\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_2049378852\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:75%;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"252\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles38-scaled-e1622029026928-252x300.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles38-scaled-e1622029026928-252x300.jpeg 252w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles38-scaled-e1622029026928-860x1024.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles38-scaled-e1622029026928-768x915.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles38-scaled-e1622029026928-1289x1536.jpeg 1289w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles38-scaled-e1622029026928-510x608.jpeg 510w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles38-scaled-e1622029026928.jpeg 1433w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_2049378852 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-collapse row-full-width\"  id=\"row-298954416\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1039701267\" class=\"col medium-6 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_964050440\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles18-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles18.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles18-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles18-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles18-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles18-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.bridgewatercandles.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/BW0000_LACFAC_KidsWithCandles18-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_964050440 {\n  width: 84%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-782653533\" class=\"col medium-6 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h1>What you can do to help?<\/h1>\n<p>It might sound too good to be true, but really all you need to do is buy and enjoy our scented candles.
