Today there are 13,000 orphans in Bali. In the light of the many demands on Indonesia’s social relief programs after the Tsunami and other disasters the Indonesian Government has reduced provision of financial contributions to many community support organizations. One of these is the Widhya Asih Foundation in Bali, who since 1975 has established seven orphanages that today aims to feed, shelter and educate 700 children in Bali.
As a result of this cut in funding the Widhya Asih Foundation is in serious need of funding support. Bali Bridges was set up in 2006 with two aims, to raise funds for the Widhya Asih Foundation for critical initiatives that impact the livelihood of the children and secondly to provide a unique and strong platform of cultural exchange and friendships between the orphans and the students and their families at United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA).
In today’s complex world of “giving” we wish to assure all donators that our objective is to ensure that 100% of all donations are given to Widhya Asih Foundation and utilized in the specific projects that have been accessed and agreed by the Bali Bridges team
