“You’re Welcome”
…Is what Mawali means in traditional Balinese.
And this ideology of willingness to help, and giving back is what encapsulates
local Adelaide brand, Mawali Bali.
Sisters, Judi and Naomi, are on the forefront of charitable
business, with a unique business model, beautiful product selection, and
commitment to helping others; they are able to accomplish something truly great
between our two countries.
Established in 2014, Mawali Bali came about through another charitable
event, Bras for Bali. This project
saw an increased interest in those wanting to provide aide to Northern Balinese
villages, where as Mawali Bali was born and the true beginnings of charitable
work began. This grew to raise funds to cover the costs of luggage’s full of
donations, bulk rice, toiletries, and live piglets for families in need to
raise.

After visiting Bali on multiple occasions, Judi was warmly welcomed into the community, herself witnessing the living conditions throughout villages in Northern Bali. Now, that Mawali Bali is fully established, Judi meets with the artists, designers and suppliers in their villages, sourcing the goods to be sold, and returns proceeds back into the artists communities, something Mawali Bali likes to call “The Full Circle of Love”.

Judi and Naomi would like to thank the support of their wonderful volunteers, both in Adelaide and Bali, who without their help, they wouldn’t have achieved their goals. The brand is fast becoming a favourite amongst Adelaidians, with messages of support continuously flowing in.
The sisters hope to
continue helping and supporting the artists, designers, suppliers and overall
communities in Northern Bali as much as they can.
