Bali Touch - our story
Bali Touch was born out of a collaboration with a local company in Indonesia called ‘Mimalis’. Mimalis is committed to structurally give back to VP Forever. A meaningful and inspiring collaboration that makes the Bali Touch brand possible. All profits are going 100% to the
local communities In Bali and Mimalis guarantees fair wages and
sustainable job employment opportunities for the Balinese communities.

It is the mission of VP Forever to create solutions for communities in need and we do so through our different frameworks. One of these frameworks is the Bali Touch brand and was created to provide immediate long term solutions for underprivileged Balinese communities that are heavily affected by the corona crisis. VP Forever strongly believes in the power of uniting people to make a real difference in the lives of these people. By setting up long term collaborations with businesses all over the world, we can provide much needed support through local job employment.
Bali has a lot of people with amazing skills. Local artists, artisans, craftsmen and women have the needed skills to produce something amazing, but are without any job. Through Bali Touch, we as Volunteer Programs Forever together with our business collaborations, are able to create opportunities for the Balinese to have a structural income.
Mimalis and VP Forever do not only share its founder. The collaboration is based on shared values. We share the same vision and mission to support and empower people through education, opportunities and job employment.

What are the products?
VP Forever works closely with Mimalis to ensure that all products of Bali Touch are made locally and by people that don’t or hardly have any other source of income. Together we source our materials at local markets, we connect with local Balinese craftsmen and women in rural villages and we work closely together with all our manufacturers and producers. Everyone who works for or with Mimalis is guaranteed a fair wage, sustainable support and an honest and transparent working relationship.
Mimalis supports by facilitating the development of the items for The Bali Touch Brand and hosts opportunities for the sales of the products through their online shop.
The products that are designed are meant to symbolize everything that VP Forever and the Forever Community is about. We want to bring people together. Thanks to the collaborations with businesses around the world we are able to provide job opportunities for these talented Balinese artisans.
