In September the world is usually focussing on going back to school. Whether parents are sending their children off to school for the first time, students make their ways back to the auditoriums of their universities and home schooling programs commence, there are other parts in our world that face a completely different reality – one where we find children struggle to go to school at all.

We are taking this month as an opportunity to support our Balinese community by sending kids off to school. Despite Bali’s wonders and beauties that are commonly for the world to see, there is another side to what is happening in Bali at the moment. 

   

Bali has its rich and its poor and its visible and invisible sides. Going off recent government reports, 1 in 10 (or 10%) of children will fail to graduate from high school. Poverty is common and widespread, particularly in remote communities beyond the reach of tourists. Adding on the global crisis we are currently walking through people who were living in poverty anyway are now struggling to live – a situation we have been trying to alleviate with our Adopt a family project that has been running since March 2020.

Since our early days we have always supported the education of Balinese children, because we believe that the future and with that a better tomorrow lies in the hand of the upcoming generations. Education doesn’t only involve literacy and maths, but also social interaction, play, ritual and compassion. 

Since the outbreak of Covid we have shifted our focus on delivering food packages to underprivileged families with our Adopt a family program, however, we now feel a strong urge to come back to our original mission to support the future of Bali as much as we support the present.

 

The Bali Children Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation on our home island dedicated to helping children in Bali escape poverty through education. It is their mission to create better futures, so that the kids become more than just statistics and can make their dreams come true, ultimately helping not only their selves but also their families. 

As you or a loved one are getting ready to go back to school, we encourage you to seek out an opportunity to support somebody else with the same blessing. To share a piece of education. 

From September 1st to 8th we are running a ‘Back to school’ sale which gifts you 15% off our entire collection (except for sale items). 5% of all proceeds will be donated to the Bali Children’s Project to ensure Bali’s kids to stay in school. You’ll get to gift yourself a wonderful intention and support children in need at the same time.

Because we are in business to improve lives, for a thriving community, a healthy planet and a better tomorrow.

Much love from us!
