Tree-planting initiative
For 5 years, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects, a non-profit organization who worked to restore forests while creating employment opportunities in communities affected by extreme poverty.
We committed to planting one tree for every bar sold. Together with our customers, we helped plant over 131,000 trees around the world.
In 2024, Eden restructured its organization and moved in a direction that no longer aligned with our brand and charitable goals. We remain incredibly proud of the impact we created together.
Those 131,000 trees stand as a reminder of what a small business and a passionate community can accomplish when working toward a common goal.
As we look ahead, we're excited to support new initiatives that reflect the same commitment to people and the planet.
Local soap donations
At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we donated more than 100 lbs of soap to two local women’s shelters that were experiencing a critical shortage of soap products for personal hygiene.
Those were uncertain and challenging times for everyone, but the experience reinforced something we’ve always believed: when communities come together, even small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting one another and working as a team when people need it most.
2023 earthquake relief
Following the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Turkey and Syria, Keika committed to donating $1 from every Aleppo Bar sold over the following months to the Canadian Red Cross Earthquake in Türkiye and Syria Appeal.
This initiative held special meaning, as the Keika Aleppo bars we offered for a limited time were produced in partnership with a Syrian refugee soap maker whose family has carried on the Aleppo soap-making tradition for over 125 years. Supporting the people and communities connected to this craft felt both natural and deeply personal.
Pledging profits to charity
In June 2025, we made a conscious decision to pledge 10% of our annual profits to meaningful charities through Give What You Can. It’s our way of turning everyday purchases into something that reaches a little further. We are incredibly grateful for your support, as this commitment is only possible because of you.
