MESSY BESSY CLEANERS INC

• MESSY BESSY produces and distributes natural home and personal care
products in order to rehabilitate at-risk young adults. Messy Bessy
provides disadvantaged youth with the education and business acumen that
enables them to become agents of positive change in their communities.

• HISTORY
• It was when the founder Kristine Reyes-Lopez (Krie) visited Delancey Street Foundation in
San Francisco, and discovered the unique business model of how to empower disadvantaged
youth through business and imparted her with the realization that businesses can be used to
empower marginalized members of society. Adapting that model here in the Philippines, Krie
later put up Messy Bessy Cleaners Inc. a then simple line of environmentally safe products,
with the initial aim to empower sexually abused girls by providing them with an education.

• PRACTICES
• The number of underprivileged youth in Manila, particularly girls vulnerable to sex trafficking, is
escalating. Krie identified the integral role the lack of education plays in keeping them trapped in
the poverty cycle. In response, she developed Messy Bessy to cater to the vital need for education
for all marginalized youth.

• On the consumer-facing side, Messy Bessy’s products fill the market gap in affordable
environmentally friendly home cleaning and personal care products. 60% of the Messy Bessy
workforce are at-risk youth and they are compensated by Messy Bessy through individual
mentorship, counseling, financial coaching, and a salary which is managed to cover all tuition and
living expenses and grow a savings account.

• Years passed and with the growth of Messy Bessy, the H.O.U.S.E. Foundation was put up to
expand the program to help and lift more impoverished individuals out of poverty until this day
and years to come. In 2017, and up to this day, Messy Bessy Cleaners Inc. is a proud member of
the United Nations Development Programme and Business Call-to-Action (BctA) for their model
in poverty alleviation among at-risk individuals in the Philippines.

• OPERATIONS
• Messy Bessy now has over 20 products, over 10 kiosks in key areas around
Metro Manila, over 40 retail partners, and a growing online platform. The
H.O.U.S.E. Foundation has since helped over 400 at-risk young
individuals lift themselves from the poverty line and equipped them with
the tools for a bright future ahead.
• Messy Bessy offer an array such as personal care, home care, baby care,
and an industrial cleaning line. They also offer corporate gifting
opportunities and have a growth partnership program.

adults, awarded SGD $15,000 in scholarships, and supported 50 college
scholars. In 2012 Messy Bessy formed a partnership with Manila Business
