Founded in 2019 in Kuta, Lombok, the Lombok Eco Flea Market (LEFM) was created to provide a central collective for the many talented eco-artisans and environmental organizations working in Lombok.
As a community collaboration that empowers eco-preneurs to act and increase their professional development, we believe that global environmental problems can best be addressed through programs that are designed, implemented, and owned by local communities. And, since our inception, we’ve held true to this mission.
Created by the community, for the community.
Today, there are nearly 40 active companies under the LEFM umbrella providing them a place to sell their products, educate them, help them with marketing and improve their processes toward sustainable and environmentally-friendly production. All with a strong focus on involving women and communities in poverty. To date, this includes over 500 people supporting sustainable and environmentally-friendly businesses across Lombok!
With our work in development interventions, we emphasize building on local ecological and cultural knowledge and practice, facilitating innovation and introducing new eco-friendly techniques as appropriate. Through our local communities, we undertake activities that will make a significant improvement in our and their well-being, while generating global environmental benefits.
