The Mitra Bali Foundation was established in 1993 and is based in Bali, Indonesia. As a member of WFTO and a non-governmental and non-profit organisation they act as a market and export facilitator for small craft producers.

Mitra Bali work within a framework of approx 100 producer groups employing over 1,000 artisans with access to a free design centre facility for producers which provides a library of books, current magazines and consultations with product designers. They also hold monthly workshops focusing on new trends, technical aspects of production, health & safety and the use of environmentally sustainable resources.

They have a tree-planting scheme to replenish stocks of all Albesia wood used in its handicrafts. This is also part of the organisation`s efforts to promote reforestation to protect the livlihoods of indiginous people and to ensure they don`t become landless.

Around 20 artisans and their families are supported by production of these products.

Our beautiful Round Shell Necklace on Coconut Beads was handmade by Mitra Bali artisans.
