Sustainable Development Goals Projects

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

Support students and youth in villages by sharing skills in digital tools, storytelling, or creative entrepreneurship. Volunteers help build confidence, expand opportunity, and improve job readiness through inclusive, hands-on learning that nurtures creativity and self-reliance.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION

Join community-driven efforts like mangrove planting, beach cleanups, bird monitoring, and zero-waste education. Volunteers support hands-on conservation while learning from indigenous knowledge, local eco-leaders, and deep, time-honored nature-based wisdom in rural Lombok.

KIDS LANGUAGE EDUCATION

Bring language and learning to life for village students through fun weekend classes, storytelling sessions, and cross-cultural exchanges. Volunteers help build curiosity, confidence, critical thinking, and creativity in eager young learners from isolated remote communities.

ECOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT

Support sustainable tourism by helping local guides improve their language, developing signage and tours, or co-creating ecotourism experiences that protect nature, celebrate culture, and empower rural communities through authentic, collaborative engagement.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

Our vocational training program equips youth from pesantren and underserved areas with skills to thrive in today’s world. Volunteers lead sessions in digital literacy, videography, and personal branding, helping learners gain confidence and practical experience. These trainings offer tools that support long-term growth, career access, and greater self-reliance, building inclusive pathways toward opportunity and community resilience.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION

This initiative engages youth and local communities in protecting natural ecosystems through hands-on action. Volunteers join activities like mangrove restoration, bird monitoring, waste audits, and marine education. Working with schools and grassroots eco-groups, the program fosters environmental awareness and regenerative habits, building a foundation for long-term conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable living.

KIDS LANGUAGE EDUCATION

This program empowers volunteers to uplift rural education through creative, hands-on, inclusive teaching. You'll engage children in language, reading, and storytelling, many of whom have limited exposure to global perspectives. These joyful sessions inspire curiosity, build confidence, and foster meaningful cultural exchange, leaving a positive imprint on learners and volunteers while strengthening community bonds and shared understanding for lasting impact.

ECOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT

This program enables rural villages to design tourism that’s community rooted and environmentally responsible. Volunteers help create eco trails, develop bilingual content, and train local youth as guides. It’s a rewarding way to promote regenerative travel, preserve cultural identity and traditions, and support village economies through inclusive, sustainable experiences that genuinely empower, deeply connect, and truly endure over time.

I’m deeply grateful to have started as a social impact volunteer at Bale Nara Lombok and become one of its founders, responsible for SDG-17 (Partnership for the Goals). This journey inspires me and gives me a strong reason to keep returning to Lombok.

As a volunteer, I taught Community-Based Tourism at Bale Nara Lombok’s partner campus and conducted preliminary research for the Fair Tourism Foundation in the Netherlands. I’m deeply grateful for the support of so many helpful stakeholders during my time in Lombok.

I spent six months in Lombok supporting Bale Nara Lombok while on sabbatical. Coming from South Africa, a country so different from Lombok in terms of its warmth and safety, I was truly amazed. I’ve already decided to return to this island and make it my permanent home.
