Its unique model challenges the conventional approach, placing employees and their families at its core. Joyya's initiatives include living wages, work hours conducive to family life, professional growth prospects, comprehensive benefit plans, health and emotional support, debt-reduction programmes, and educational offerings. The organisation's dedication to ethical practices extends to its products, which are handcrafted by skilled artisans using environmentally friendly methods, comprised of sustainable materials like organic cotton and jute, and adhere to fair-trade and transparency standards. By fostering authentic relationships and embodying compassion in action, Joyya seeks to infuse a little more goodness into the world, one neighbourhood at a time.
