With Ananda Soul, we honor and celebrate the island of Bali and its people. We stand for mindful intention, sustainability, empowerment of underprivileged communities, and conscious consumerism. At the heart of Ananda Soul is a mission to support humanity and the planet, to act with integrity, and to leave a better world for future generations.
Our Why: Empowerment and integrity
From its inception, Ananda Soul was driven by a deep desire to make a positive impact on the world. This vision has consistently guided all our creations and initiatives. Our core intent is to give back and support the women and children in the communities where our products are made. Reciprocity is central to our philosophy, ensuring that our actions benefit not just our business, but also the planet and its people.
Our products are rooted in spiritual traditions and rituals, bringing blessings and good intentions into the world. We prioritize sustainable production, aiming to minimize harm to our nurturer, Mother Earth. Every decision at Ananda Soul is guided by a commitment to integrity, mutual respect, and compassion.
Giving Back is our commitment to community
Since the beginning, Ananda Soul has dedicated not only 10% of its profits to supporting women and children in Bali but also created additional non-profit projects to find ways to give back. Our projects have ranged from educational programs to funding initiatives addressing social and environmental issues. Since 2021, we have contributed over $17,000 to projects supporting Balinese mothers and children and over $50,000 to COVID-19 relief efforts, helping 1,311 families in times of crisis.
Our non-profit bracelet collection
Today we are excited to share our non-profit bracelet collection, a piece of work and art that exemplifies our commitment to giving back. Over the last few years we have launched piece by piece parts of this collection. Now we are adding on a few more of these lovingly crafted bracelet designs and share them under one roof: as our non-profit bracelets.
This collection is crafted by Balinese mothers and aims to support two main local projects: the Bali Children Foundation and The Bali Street Mums Project. Each bracelet is a symbol of empowerment, providing employment opportunities for Balinese mothers and directing 100% of profits to these vital projects.
By employing mothers of street children to braid our bracelets, we help break the cycle of poverty. These bracelets, each carrying a unique message and charm, provide these mothers with fair wages and the dignity of work.
The projects your purchases support
Since the beginning of Ananda Soul 10% of all profits have been directed towards sponsoring the tuition of underprivileged children in the North of Bali. Supporting children in their education creates an important pillar of our giving back work. Children are the leaders, shapers, and the decision-makers of tomorrow. Providing education, mirroring different ways of thinking, communicating and empowering them to speak their own truth are essential means for a self-determined and impactful life that contributes to a better, thriving community.
Bali Children Foundation
In 2019, we started to support the Bali Children Foundation, a foundation that focuses on enabling education for children from Balinese families in need as a way out of poverty, paving the way from education to employment. Our contributions cover tuition, books, stationery, uniforms, and more, empowering children to build a brighter future.
10% of all profits as well as 100% of profits from the bracelets shown below form our ongoing support of education for children. Currently, we are sponsoring the tuition of 11 children in total, of which we have completed the payments for two children to graduate through High School. We are devoted do the same for the remaining 9 children and, as we grow, bring on more children.
To date, we have donated $10,404.58 to the Bali Children Foundation.
The bracelets that support this cause include:
The Bali Street Mums Project
The Bali Street Mums Project focuses on rescuing abused children and mothers from the streets, to provide them with shelter and food, medical aid counselling, and education to keep them off the streets.
Ananda Soul has been supporting the Bali Street Mums Project since December 2022 and to date have donated approximately $7000.
Our contributions support 125 children, 6 infants, and 35 mothers, with ongoing efforts to build a new safe house in Denpasar.
