2021: $100,000 towards our Social Mission!!
We have come so far in such a short period of time. We could not have dreamed of being able to announce something so big, so soon.
This year Viori has spent $100,000 USD towards its social mission!!
A big part of our success, if not all, is measured by how well we are able to serve the people that inspired starting our company: the Red Yao community. We are a business, but a business with a mission:
"To create highly effective, all natural cosmetics while preserving the values and traditions of the Red Yao Women for future generations"
This is why we are incredibly proud to be able to deploy such a substantial amount and put this into projects that help the Red Yao community thrive. Our customers have put deep trust and support into us, and we are dedicated to be fully transparent as to how our social mission is carried out.
About....
The funds going to our Social Mission consist of 2 main categories:
1. Beautiful Reason Initiatives:
