Ethically sourced. Purposefully made.

Provenance should create possibility.

Sourcing

Every hide comes through a licensed conservation programme on land we work with directly, following the management plan its own wildlife managers have set. Nothing is farmed for its skin, and nothing is bought anonymously at auction. Each hide enters the Origin Register with its source region, date and lawful-source reference before it is cut.

Food given onward

MBALI carries the cost of each day in the field and asks for nothing back but the hide. The meat is donated through the landholder's own distribution to children's homes and to communities near that land.

Education commitment

We are formalising a funded education commitment of 3% of net product sales, with named partners and signed agreements. Until those are in place we are not publishing a figure we cannot yet evidence — the commitment and the first allocation will appear here when they are real.

Reporting

Once the commitment is live we will publish an annual summary: the amount allocated, the programmes supported, and what the funds made possible. Impact should be accounted for, not advertised.

Questions about the pledge, the partners or the reporting are answered directly — write to impact@houseofmbali.com.
