Our Story & Mission
Welcome to Kaya Selfcare - where sustainability meets empowerment! Our company is on a mission to revolutionize self-care products by offering refillable and sustainable options, while also making a positive impact on the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID).
In Tagalog, "kaya" means "ability, able to do something," and this concept lies at the core of our values. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to showcase their talents and contribute to society. That's why we are proud to be a team of two sisters and our mom, collectively forming a trio dedicated to empowering individuals like Nina, one of the sisters, who has an intellectual disability.
Nina's passion and dedication inspire us every day. All of our products are lovingly handmade by her, showcasing her unique creativity and skills. Through Kaya, she has found a platform to share her talents, discover her purpose, and create products she can truly be proud of.
While we may be a small company, our dreams are big. We are committed to making a significant difference in the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is staggering, standing at over 80%. This is why we are dedicated to providing meaningful employment opportunities to these individuals, where they can learn essential skills to kickstart their careers.
By choosing our refillable and low-waste products, you join us in our mission to support sustainable and eco-friendly self-care practices. Every purchase you make contributes not only to a greener planet but also to a brighter future for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Kaya natin - Together, we can do it! Join us on this empowering journey to make a lasting impact on the environment and the lives of those who deserve equal opportunities. Thank you for being a part of our vision for a better and more inclusive world.
