Women empowerment — Myrah Penaloza giving back community Bali
Giving Back · Our Intention

To uplift every
woman we touch.

This brand was built by women, made by women, and exists to empower women. Locally in Bali. Globally across every cause we stand beside.

Scroll

"Our intention as a company is to empower women. In everything we make, every family we support, every cause we stand behind."

This was never just a fashion brand. From the very beginning, the question underneath every decision was the same one: does this lift a woman up?

The artisan who stitches your garment. The mother in Bali who has nowhere to turn. The woman wrongfully separated from her children by a broken system. The first-time mother who deserves to survive the birth of her child regardless of where she was born.

We see them all. We see them through the eyes of a mother. And we act accordingly.

Every piece you wear from this brand is part of something larger than fashion. When you choose Myrah Penaloza, you choose to stand beside the women we stand beside.

Myrah Penaloza — giving back is not charity, it is the reason for the work
Why We Give

Giving back has never
felt like charity.

It feels like the most natural thing in the world. Because this brand exists because of women. Women who stitch. Women who dream. Women who raise families between fittings and somehow make everything hold together.

As a Mexican woman who built something from the ground up, in a country that was not her own, Myrah knows what it means to move through a world that was not designed with you in mind. These causes are not abstract to us. They are personal. They are the continuation of the same intention we bring to every garment we make.

"This work is not separate from the fashion. It is the reason for it. To leave things more beautiful than we found them."
Community of women — Myrah Penaloza giving back to women globally
"The right to safe motherhood. The right to justice. The right to be seen. These are not political positions. They are the baseline of what every woman deserves."
Our Neighbours in Bali

The island gave us everything.
We give back to it.

Bali welcomed us with open arms. The women and children behind these organizations are our neighbours. We see them every day. They are not a cause at a distance. They are community.

Maternal Health · Bali
Bumi Sehat Foundation

Bumi Sehat operates birth clinics in Bali providing women with culturally appropriate, safe childbirth services, alongside ongoing family health education and care. Indonesia still carries among the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the region. Bumi Sehat is changing that, one mother at a time. We make ongoing financial contributions to support their work.

Women & Children · Bali
Bali Street Mums Project

More than 20 million people across Indonesia live in poverty. In rural areas around Bali, the poverty rate reaches 35%. High unemployment and low education rates force many women into impossible situations — begging, trafficking, survival at any cost. Bali Street Mums has empowered over 400 women and children through education, housing, skill development, and nutrition. We support them weekly.

Safe Housing · Bali
Bali Mother & Baby House

For women and children in Bali with nowhere else to go, Bali Mother and Baby House provides a safe refuge and a path forward. Medical and dental care, hygiene and nutrition education, English lessons, job training, extracurricular activities for children, and sexual health education. A full circle of care for women who have been failed by every other system.

Criminal Justice · USA
The Innocence Project

People are wrongfully convicted every year through incentivized informants, misused forensic evidence, and inadequate legal representation. The Innocence Project fights to free the wrongfully convicted, reform the systems that failed them, and ensure that post-conviction DNA testing is accessible to those who need it. Because justice delayed is not justice. And innocence should never be imprisoned.

Police Reform · USA
Campaign Zero

More than 1,000 people are killed by police every year in the United States. Campaign Zero analyzes police practices, funds policy research, supports community leaders, and develops model legislation aimed at ending police violence. We believe in a world where the police do not kill people. Where accountability is not optional. Where safety is not reserved for the few.

Civil Rights · USA
The ACLU

The American Civil Liberties Union has participated in more US Supreme Court cases over the last 100 years than any other private organization. Free expression, free speech, marriage equality, racial justice, reproductive rights. The ACLU shows up when rights are threatened. In a time when so many of those rights feel fragile, showing up matters more than ever.

What Every Purchase Means

Every piece we make
is part of this.

Every garment that leaves Bali carries more than thread and intention. It carries the work of a woman paid fairly. The support of a mother in Denpasar who now has somewhere safe to go. The funding of a midwife in a community that had none.

When you wear this brand, you are part of a circle that extends far beyond fashion. You are part of our intention to see every woman through the eyes of a loving mother. To leave every place we touch more beautiful than we found it.

We are grateful you are here.

With love from Bali,

Myrah
