We believe business can be a vehicle for creating change, and we are committed to making our company a space of healing, restoration, and learning that will transform lives and positively impact our larger community.
Employment, coaching, and skills training is a big area of need in the rehabilitation of survivors. Yet those who have experienced exploitation often have difficulty in finding and maintaining employment.
Using the unique skill sets of our team members, we are able to provide for this important step in societal reentry process for survivors and their path to self-sufficiency.
Our Impact
Increasing employment reduces poverty in a community.
San Diego, where we are based, is among the top 10 worst cities in the US for human trafficking, the fastest growing form of organized crime.
Our strategic location and the specific skills of our team members allow us to partner with local nonprofits serving survivors to play a needed role in their rehabilitation process.
HAVYN's ultimate goal is to use business as a vehicle of self-sustaining funds to contribute positively toward the community.
Our vision is to promote restoration and beauty for all through the power of fragrance.
We do this by creating premium allergen-free fragrances designed to have restorative skin and emotional benefits, while using our resources to empower the societal reentry of survivors of trafficking and abuse.
We will do this by earmarking 10% of every purchase to provide direct support within our own company for job training, mentorship, and living-wage employment opportunities for survivors.

Our commitment is as follows:
The ultimate goal is to help survivors develop the skills to thrive in a traditional work environment, empower them to be their own agents in their journeys, and provide a starting point that helps build their resumes.
Note that as we first start up and job opportunities are more limited, we will be regularly donating 10% of the proceeds from our purchases to our nonprofit partner, GenerateHope, until we have reached the scale where we can begin to regularly offer employment and training to survivors in their program.
As we grow, the vision would be to broaden to women in transition from other extenuating circumstances.
We are initially partnering with GenerateHope, an established program in San Diego that provides housing, therapy, and education for survivors.
As we first start up, the 10% will be directly donated to support general funds for GenerateHope, until we have reached the scale where we can begin to offer employment and training to survivors.
We are also partnering with Girls Rising Above Child Exploitation (GRACE) in providing opportunities for their youth.
Once we have reached a size where we can scale our operations, our goal is to partner with GenerateHope and GRACE by providing the survivors they serve with the job opportunities and training at our company.
