## What is Joyya?

Joyya is a private, invitation-only community app for the people who walk alongside the oppressed of this world.

We are a movement working to see full and lasting change in communities affected by extreme poverty and modern slavery. Through ethically made products and deep, local relationships, we create fair, safe work and stand with people facing adversity with courage. Joyya is the app that keeps that community connected.

This app is for members of the Joyya community — partner organisations, change makers and leaders who already walk with us. It is not a public social network, and the community content inside it is only visible to its members.

WHAT YOU CAN DO IN JOYYA

• Community Feed — Follow updates, daily readings, prayer requests and birthdays from your community in one warm, ad-free feed, now with photos and short videos.
• Pray together — Share and respond to prayer requests from members and leaders.
• Put your hand up — Express interest in volunteering opportunities, prayer meetings and upcoming community visits. Change your mind any time.
• See real progress — View your community's weekly attendance, demographics and the classes on offer, so you can see the change you're part of.
• Share with your community — Leaders and membership supervisors can post updates and prayer requests, with photos and short video, straight from the feed.
• Members — Community supervisors can view and manage the members they walk alongside.
• Gentle notifications — Choose exactly which topics you hear about, including announcements from your own organisation. You're always in control.
• Built with care — Comment moderation and a community word filter keep the space safe and respectful.

WHO IT'S FOR

Joyya is used by partner entities and leaders. Access is by invitation. If you've been given a Joyya account or an invitation code, sign in to join your community.

OUR HEART

We bet on the battlers. We build authentic relationships, one neighbourhood at a time. Every connection in Joyya is part of a bigger story of dignity, work and lasting hope.
