Our Mission
ALENNYA was founded to honor craftsmanship, preserve cultural heritage, and create meaningful impact within artisan communities in Ecuador.
Our work goes beyond offering handcrafted pieces. We believe business can serve as a bridge — connecting culture, opportunity, and community support. Through intentional partnerships and giving, ALENNYA seeks to contribute to the wellbeing and future of the families connected to the artisans who inspire our brand.
Founder’s Commitment
For founder Leslye Spindler, this initiative is deeply personal.
The mountains of Ecuador — home to many artisan communities — are also the homeland of her parents and the foundation of her family’s story. These communities represent heritage, resilience, and values passed down through generations.
Giving back is not simply a business initiative; it is a personal mission to honor her roots and her father’s legacy. Supporting children and education reflects the belief that success should uplift the communities that helped shape who we are.
Through ALENNYA, Leslye aims to create a cycle of impact where opportunity abroad contributes meaningfully to the future of children and families in Ecuador.
Why This Initiative Matters
In small communities like Chordeleg, families work tirelessly to provide for their children, yet resources are often limited. A child who is hungry cannot fully focus or thrive in school.
A daily school lunch provides more than nourishment — it gives children the ability to learn, participate, and grow while offering parents peace of mind knowing their children are cared for during the school day.
