It’s winter in Kolkata. While everyone heads out for small picnics and day trips, elders are usually left behind. This month, we changed that. We stepped out with the elders from our community for a simple outing, and it meant so much more. Elders are often overlooked, quietly carrying a lifetime of stories, resilience, and care, yet rarely being cared for in return. At Joyya, we believe dignity includes joy, laughter, and the freedom to simply be. Watching them smile, walk together, and share conversations reminded us that inclusion begins with presence and intention.

Being outdoors, and relating to others in positive ways are all linked to just about every indicator of personal wellbeing that exists. In the daily grind of life, we all need to get out and have some fun every now and then. This is especially true in communities impacted by extreme poverty and modern slavery. We can’t always remove the struggles, but we can make sure there are moments of joy and relaxation in our lives.

You can partner with us in this work also through purchasing Joyya products, donating to Joyya, and spreading the word!

Look at this beautiful moment.

On one side sits Sunny, a curious 12-year-old. On the other sits Shobha di, 46 years old.

Two generations apart, yet learning side by side in the same classroom.

In many communities, once people cross 30, they hesitate to return to education. There is embarrassment, fear of judgment, and for women, the weight of “What will others say?” is even heavier.

But Rita di chose courage. She walked into this classroom with confidence, proving that learning has no age limit and carries no shame.

At , we create spaces where people of all ages can learn, grow, and reclaim their dreams. We work within communities marked by extreme poverty and modern slavery, walking alongside women, children, and families as they build a better future for themselves.

And when you buy tees or bags from Joyya, you help make transformational stories like this possible. Visit us at www.joyya.com:

Our 100% organic cotton kids' tees are actually soft (not marketing-soft). Perfect for school events, uniforms, camps, and club merch. Durable enough for daily wear, and full of impact.

You'll often hear us talk about 'beyond ethical', and that by choosing Joyya you're sparking community transformation. But what does this actually mean?

We're not outsourcing to "ethical suppliers" somewhere distant. We ARE the manufacturer. Our production team lives in West Bengal communities where extreme poverty and modern slavery are daily realities.

Your order provides stable employment for people in these neighbourhoods, funds education programs for their children, creates pathways in vocational training, and builds economic alternatives to exploitative labour systems.

Buying a Joyya kid's tee isn't just a brilliant product choice you're making, It changes what's possible for entire communities.

Over the past year, we've seen a growing need for support in our community. So we partnered with the Mental Health Foundation (MHF), who work at community level rather than just clinical settings.

We started with Training of Trainers (TOT) sessions for our frontline team, social workers, leaders, centre managers, and others who work with families daily. These sessions help them recognise early signs of emotional distress, identify concerns, and know when to raise them for proper support.

So far, we've completed two sessions: one on emotional disorders and another on disabilities, with a focus on intellectual disabilities. Even with just these sessions, our staff have already begun noticing signs in children and connecting them with the right support more quickly.

This is only the beginning, but it's an important one. A big thanks to Indu and team for leading this work.

Joyya creates employment in West Bengal communities marked by extreme poverty and modern slavery, but the vision doesn't stop at jobs. We strive to nurture environments where communities can grow stronger, where children and youth find opportunities, and where people can choose dignity, stability, and hope for themselves.

Photo dump from our Joyya picnic (aka our unofficial birthday bash!) There's always something special about getting everyone together for a day of celebration. There are so many parts to Joyya (not to mention locations!), which makes getting everyone together even more important. It was super cool to see faces from all parts of our team and communities for a time of fun and connection. The cake was pretty epic too!
