5% of Calyan Wax Co. revenue (NOT profits/proceeds) is donated to end trafficking in the USA. When we sell $5000 of candles, we donate $250. We are the only candle company that does this!

Our donations are NOT based on profits or proceeds. Donations based on profits or proceeds do not meet our standards  of transparency and impact. Our donations are based on revenue because it provides greater transparency to our customers and allows us to donate more!

Traffick911's Voice & Choice Advocate Program

When a first responder encounters a sex trafficking victim in need of emergency services, they can call Traffick911 for 24-hour crisis response. A team member from Traffick911 will arrive and provide immediate aid to the survivor and start working on a case management plan to help them get back on their feet. 

But that's not all. Once the survivor is stabilized, they will be paired up with a seasoned advocate (kind of like a mentor) who will be there for them every step of the way. This person will provide emotional support, help the survivor navigate the complex legal system, and connect them with all the resources they need to heal and rebuild their life.

And get this - Traffick911 doesn't work alone. They collaborate closely with regional multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that each victim gets the individualized support they need. It's a true team effort, and we're honored to support them in their mission to end trafficking and help survivors.

Jacob founded Calyan in 2017 with a strong desire to make a difference in the fight against human trafficking. He knew that the issue was complex and widespread, and he wanted to find a way to contribute meaningfully.

As he researched different organizations to support, Jacob was looking for more than just a good cause. He wanted to partner with a nonprofit that had a strategic approach and a team of dedicated individuals who shared his passion for helping survivors of trafficking.

One day, Jacob attended a Traffick911 volunteer training and was blown away by the organization's commitment and effectiveness. He was impressed by the professionalism of the staff and volunteers, and their deep understanding of the complex issues surrounding trafficking.

It was at that moment that Jacob knew he had found the right partner for Calyan. He was excited to support Traffick911's mission and work alongside them to combat trafficking and support survivors.

Today, Calyan is proud to partner with Traffick911 and support their vital work in the fight against human trafficking. We are committed to working together to make a difference and help end this horrific crime once and for all.
