There wouldn't be Ananda Soul without the island of Bali. This magical place has been at the heart of the inspiration for our designs since the very beginning. Bali's lush nature, vibrant culture, and profoundly spiritual, generous people are at the very core of why we created Ananda Soul, which goes far beyond simply wanting to craft beautiful jewelry.
Ananda Soul was born out of a deep desire to make art in a way that serves a greater purpose, where every decision made and collection created is in integrity with our values and mission. At the heart of this mission is empowering the women of Bali and supporting their families through children’s education.
Empowering Education Through Ethical Jewelry
Education is a fundamental right for every child, yet not all children can access it. In Bali, many families struggle with poverty and cannot afford to send their children to school. This leads to a cycle of illiteracy and limits the opportunities for these children's future. By providing education, we can break this cycle of poverty and open the door for these children to have a better tomorrow filled with possibilities and hope.
Education serves as a powerful tool that not only transforms individual lives but also uplifts entire communities. As we empower Balinese children through education, we simultaneously empower their families and villages, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
With a solid educational foundation, these children can grow up to be the future leaders, innovators, and changemakers of Bali, equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. Investing in their education is an investment in a brighter, more prosperous future for Bali.
That's why a portion of every purchase from Ananda Soul goes towards community development by supporting the education of underprivileged children in Bali.
Through our collaboration with the Bali Children Foundation, we fund scholarships, school supplies, and other educational initiatives to give these children the opportunity to learn and thrive.
Transforming Lives: The Impact of Your Purchase
Every time you wear an Ananda Soul piece, know that you are not just adorning yourself with a beautiful piece of jewelry, but you are also making a positive impact in the lives of these children. 10% of the profits from every purchase in Ananda Soul, as well as 100% of a selection of our non-profit bracelets, go directly towards the Bali Children Foundation, which has touched the lives of countless children since its inception in 2002.
The foundation supports children from education to employment through its comprehensive programs. These include student sponsorships, upgrading schools and libraries, preserving mother and infant health for the critical first thousand days of a child's life, and teaching children English to improve their employability. These programs not only support communities and provide access to basic education but also equip the children with practical skills they can use in their future careers.
With your help, we have been able to fund numerous scholarships and educational initiatives. We have also witnessed firsthand how education has transformed these children's lives- from being able to read and write to pursuing higher education and securing jobs that bring financial stability for themselves and their families.
We are currently sponsoring the tuition of 11 children. With the help of our customers, we have already fully funded the education of two of our students until they graduate High School, and we aim to be able to do the same for all the children soon.
As well as sponsoring their education, we provide each of our kids with the necessary books, school supplies, uniforms, and shoes on our visits to their villages.
We believe that by empowering these children through education, we are creating a better future for all. And we are grateful to have you be a part of this journey towards positive change.
Jewelry That Nurtures Wisdom
We design each piece of Ananda Soul Jewelry to carry a specific energy and intention from our heart to yours, infusing it with love and healing. From the precious gemstones and other ethically sourced materials to the intricate craftsmanship of our artisans and the traditional Balinese ceremony we perform to bless each piece, our jewelry is a work of art that carries a deep significance.
Our "Nature of Us" collection, inspired by the ancestral wisdom of the owl, serves as a powerful reminder to always seek knowledge and understanding in our lives. Owls have long been revered by many ancient cultures as symbols of insight and intuition, guiding us to embrace curiosity and gain knowledge from our experiences and our elders.
This collection pairs the symbolism of the owl with the protective powers of Smokey Quartz, a stone that helps to ground and protect us as we embark on our many journeys through this life. Smokey Quartz serves as a powerful ally, helping dissolve any negative energy and enhance our connection to the earth. Together, the owl's wisdom and Smokey Quartz's protective energy guide us through life's challenges, allowing us to move forward with confidence and clarity.
As with all our collections, 10% of the profits from each piece of the "Nature of Us" collection goes towards supporting the children of Bali through the Bali Children Foundation. By wearing a piece from this collection, you are not only nurturing your own wisdom but also empowering education and positive change in this beautiful island that has given so much to us. We hope these owl jewelry pieces inspire you to continue tapping into your own most profound wisdom and intuition while making a difference in the world.
