Bali Care Foundation is continuously working to identify residents in need and to provide them with the right help. In this blog we would like to tell you more about the disabled people in Bali. The situations we encounter, how parents and family members deal with children with a disability and how we as a foundation can offer a helping hand.

It was early March 2020. The coronavirus reached Indonesia and thus also the Indonesian island of Bali. Most tourists, students and digatal nomads decided to leave the island and return to their homeland. We decided to establish the Bali Care Foundation.

Clean drinking water, how special is this? The fact that we in the Netherlands have clean drinking water is something we do not think about in our daily lives. We just turn on the tap, flush the toilet, turn on the garden sprinkler and we have unlimited access to water. This is a completely different story in Indonesia and therefore also in Bali.

Recently Bali Care Foundation met the family in the picture above. This family consists of father, mother and 6 young children. The parents do not have sufficient (financial) resources and other possibilities to let their children go to school. Although primary education in itself is financed by the government, the parents themselves have to pay for uniforms, books, school supplies and transport.

The day on which Indonesia celebrates its independence, Bali Care Foundation was able to do something for the local population. On this day in Negara, in the west of Bali, we were able to provide 3 elderly people with a walker/ wheelchair and thus give back part of their freedom.

This action took place in the village of Gegelang, located in the east of the island near the coastal town of Candidasa and in the village of Tinggarsari, located in the mountains in the middle of Bali.
