ABOUT US

“Our Inspiring Journey: Bringing Art to Life, Changing Lives“

“At Bliss Havens, our inspiring journey began with a remarkable moment of inspiration. In 2021, our co-founders were deeply moved by the extraordinary artwork of a beloved grandmother living with dementia. This experience illuminated the exceptional talents that reside within us, transcending circumstances.

Motivated by this artistic revelation, our co-founders embarked on a mission to celebrate the unique skills and imagination within the disabled community. They transformed these exceptional creations into beautiful merchandise, bringing them to life. The response was heartwarming, as people were captivated by the charm and originality of these creations.

In 2023, Bliss Havens officially emerged as an NGO, expanding its impact and transcending borders. Our ultimate goal is to empower the disabled community, offering them a stable income and a canvas for their creativity.

We’re proud to share that 60% of the net proceeds from merchandise sales directly support the creators, while the remaining 40% is reinvested by the NGO in brand development. This symbiotic relationship between creator support and brand growth ensures that our mission thrives and creators receive their fair share.

Join us in celebrating the incredible creativity within us all. Embrace our mission, fall in love with our organization, and let’s make a difference—one artwork at a time. Thank you for being part of our Bliss Havens family.“
