LIKHAYA BY
VIRLANIE

We are an eco-ethical marketplace that connects socially conscious consumers to sustainable and zero waste products designed and handcrafted by our Nanay artisans.

By creating a stable demand for their designs, we give our artisans employment and the self-belief that their ideas and handiworks matter.

Likhaya is a play of two tagalog words, “Likha” and “Kaya”, which when put together aptly describes how we want our artisans to have – the ability and freedom to create and innovate.

LIKHA means create

KAYA means ability

LAYA means freedom

OUR MISSION :

To empower and transform women and children, making them a source of inspiration within their family and community.

OUR VISION :

Where financial independence is possible, one woman, one child at a time.

MEET OUR ARTISANS

Our artisans are from our Community and Street-Based Programs who are actively involved in our Livelihood Skills Training Program such as sewing and rolled paper jewelry.

Earning away from home is a challenge for our artisans because they have a family to take care of. Thus, Likhaya’s fair trade and flexible production arrangement give them the freedom to produce and earn while staying with their family.

For our young artists in the Residential Programs, we aim to make Likhaya their safe space for expressing themselves and helping them discover and nurture their talents through painting.

OUR PRODUCTS

Each product you find in our Likhaya pop-up store is uniquely designed and intricately crafted by our artisans. Waste materials like telang retaso, old magazines and used cement bags are upcycled and repurposed into environmentally friendly products that can be used every day. One-of-a-kind paintings by our special needs children and young adults are reproduced on canvas bags so more people can appreciate their artworks.

Rolled paper jewelry

Our artisan from the street-based program passionately rolled and glued every strip of magazine pages to create fashionable and sustainable earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.

Art

Our artists from the residential programs created piece of art and let's express their artistic potential. Discover their full range of artistic abilities.

Retaso Weaving

From the usual doormats, our weavers from Rolling Hills, Quezon City stood up to the challenge and innovated their products into placemats, tote bags, bucket hats, coasters, and kitchen mats.

Canvas thought-bags

A mother and child collaboration, each bag is sewn by Nanays from our Communities and artistically painted by our young artists in our Residential Program.

Likhaya's Partners

There are many ways we can work together. We can co-create products for your corporate gifts and giveaways. We can collaborate to help you recycle or upcycle your waste products. We can co-design employee-giving initiatives through community and street-based livelihood programs. We’d love to hear from you!
