Donate to Bali & the Balinese people

The coronavirus had a particularly devastating impact on the island of Bali and, consequently, the Balinese people. What we found during our support work was a network of people that have fallen through the cracks. Impoverished before the pandemic, they have been left even more vulnerable and desperate in its aftermath.

Over 70% of the population relied - and still relies - on tourism to make a living. This was made virtually impossible once COVID-19 halted domestic and international travel in early 2020. The halt to travel resulted in a 95% decline in international visitor arrivals in Bali, which has caused a ripple effect that has been felt throughout the whole community.

With tourism beginning again, the hard work still remains to be done to support those that have been left behind. It is crucial that we continue to support the work that has been done - and the work that still needs to be done. This includes not just the physical work, but also the emotional and mental work that is needed in order to rebuild these communities.

Please consider donating as your donation will help make a real difference in the lives of those who have been left behind. The food packed for our community drops costs as low as a $13AUD charitable donation and can feed a small household for about 10 days. They will generally consist of 5kg of rice, noodles, eggs, oil, antibacterial soap and vegetables. They are funded by donations with the phrase "Bali Help" as the reference.
