Program Fee

Our program is Balinese-founded and operated under an Indonesian-registered non-profit organization (‘Yayasan’), where 100% of the funds raised go directly toward sustaining our learning centers, employing local staff, and providing children with opportunities for sponsorship and free education.
With the help of volunteers, we assist the children in our region in gaining the skills and confidence they need to support themselves and their families in this rapidly changing world.
Many past volunteers have chosen to join our program because they felt confident knowing their contributions directly support a program run entirely by the Balinese people.
