TAYO Collective:

Tayo is a Tagalog word meaning “to help stand”, “to build”, and is also the pronoun for “we.” This word captures the essence behind TAYO: to help survivors of sex trafficking stand, by building them up, together as a community.

Every Tayo piece is handcrafted and designed in the Philippines by the women of Wipe Every Tear, a non-profit dedicated to empowering women trapped in the sex trade in Southeast Asia. These women have stepped out of slavery and into a life of freedom. They have chosen to leave the bars where they were once trafficked, manipulated, sold, and exploited. Accepting the invitation from Wipe Every Tear, to come live, eat, and go to college all for free. Through TAYO the women are empowered to earn money as they go to school. They proudly pay the women a living wage so that they can care for their families as they prepare for their future.

Each piece of jewellery carries a message of hope. From darkness to light. From slavery to freedom. The same hands that once were held in bondage are now alive and creating new things.

About Pag-asa Collective:

Pag-asa means 'hope' in Tagalog & the core purpose of this project is to try & give hope & to provide opportunities for local businesses and projects in the Philippines to sell their products here in New Zealand. The reason I have chosen the Philippines to support is because I am half-Filipino and see this as a way to connect with my roots and to help in some way with those from my Mom’s home country. This business is not-for-profit & everything made goes back into the communities; I have chosen to run the business in this way so that it never becomes about me & the core passion & purpose is always for the benefit of the communities.

After a lot of research I have chosen to partner with social enterprises that have a focus on working with local communities, victims of sex trafficking & place importance on sustainable & ethical work practises. Currently, we have partnered with 5 local businesses with the hope of partnering with more in the future.
