Villa Kitty Bali was born out of necessity. We are a non-profit shelter for the kittens and cats that are dumped in rubbish bins, tossed in rice fields or abandoned on roads in Bali. Our 12 staff, including three vets and 5 vet assistants, are dedicated to caring for these helpless animals in preparation for adoption, including sterilising and immunising them against disease. We believe in the importance of socialising our rescued cats and kittens for easy transition to loving homes, and we also work hard to promote education for responsible cat ownership for the protection of Bali's wildlife. Please consider supporting us in any way you can.

"Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight." Albert Schweitzer (14 January 1875 – 4 September 1965)

Four years after founding Bumi Sehat Birthing Clinic, CNN Hero Robin Lim agreed to a request from the mothers of Nyuh Kuning village, to find ways to help their other children.

Thanks to generous supporters, who donated computers and the use of a building, Yayasan Bumi Sehat established a Youth Center in 2007, with free English and computing classes offered to local Balinese youth, between ages 12-20. We now have more than 240 students from neighbouring villages enrolled in various programs, including English, computing, music and organic farming.

Plans are underway to extend into vocational training programs in 2012 and also to establish another youth center near our Aceh birthing clinic, to support the young people who survived the devastating tsunami of 2004.

Volunteer Teaching - Ubud

Our volunteers from all over the world can be involved in any of the four programs currently run at the Center: Teaching English, Teaching Computers, Organic Farming or Recycling Program.

Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF) is a local not-for-profit organisation, founded in 1997 by a group of veterinarians, and conservation / community minded Indonesians.

Our strength is in creating community-based conservation that respects the interdependence of WILDLIFE, HABITAT and local COMMUNITY. We have projects on going in Bali and in Borneo. We combine programmes that directly improve local community wellbeing such as education scholarships, agro-forestry, eco-tourism and we motivate and mobilize local communities to protect wildlife, restore habitat, and support our conservation work.

FNPF invites volunteers to help on our project sites, working alongside local Indonesians in Nusa Penida (Bali) and in Kalimantan (Borneo) or doing scientific research, and also raising funds from home, or donating equipment from their business. Prices, schedule and application form to volunteer with us are available on our website http://www.fnpf.org/get-involved/volunteer-in-indonesia

Using this holistic approach, FNPF's Bali Starling conservation project on Nusa Penida has saved the Bali's emblem bird (Bali Starling) from becoming extinct in the wild, and has resulted in local workers choosing to help FNPF relocate orangutans to safety from the palm oil plantations (where typically they are killed) to Tanjung Puting National Park and Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve.

We are very excited to annouce the very early stages of a new project Hamanah Drum N Dance will launch in 2011..

Called the "TWO HANDS FOUNDATION" a not for profit organisation (called a Yayasan in Indonesia) to help under privilidged Indonesian children to attend school.. Our future aim is to fund musically talented children on music scholarships to further their learning & opportunity..

CAMP HAMANAH students will be the 1st to take part in this project. CAMP HAMANAH will donate $150 from every Full Package Student to pay for 1 year education for an Indonesian child to attend school. Its such a small cost for most in the western world but ironically is an outrageous expense to many parents in Indonesia whose incomes average $60 per month if they are the lucky ones to be employed.

Education is crucial to a 3rd world country if they are to continue to develop & seek better opportuniites that should be equally available to all in the world.

CAMP HAMANAH will provide a childs profile & picture so students can remain in contact with their sponsored child & keep up with their school progress..

CAMP HAMANAH a project of Hamanah Drum N Dance - Indonesia's 1st African Drum N Dance Company! Proudly Indonesian & passionate for its Indonesian people & environment..

The Crisis Care Foundation operates a small clinic in the village of Dusun Lebah, Kaliasem, (near Lovina) in North Bali. The clinic provides urgently needed free medical services to some of the poorest families in Northern Bali. The clinic is run by ’Mama Gloria’, who has dedicated her knowledge and time to supporting the local community for nearly eight years.

The Foundation has a highly trained and well respected doctor on call, and will employ a resident doctor in October 2004. A Balinese Midwife assists with births as well as offering pre and postnatal care to hundreds of local women. Trauma and counseling support is available from a local welfare worker who works in conjunction with the clinic. A trained nursing aide is also employed. Outreach services include home visits to those who are unable to go to the clinic, school support programs, AIDS counsellingl assistance, emergency aid with disasters such as the bombing in Kuta, landslides, fires, flooding and road traffic accidents, counselling for social needs, homelessness, family support, child abuse, provision of medical equipment for other clinics in need and liaison with Government and non Government agencies when needed.Crisis Care has a good relationship with the local Government puskesmas whose staff call in regularly to offer their support and the use of their ambulance when needed. Many other Government Departments support the aid and assistance programs which the Foundation has implemented.The Crisis Care Foundation urgently needs sustainable funding to support the purchase of medicines and to cover the salaries of the doctor and support staff. Please contact the Foundation if you are interested in donating to this invaluable service. Because the Crisis Care Foundation offers its services free of charge to people in need, one of the great challenges faced by the Foundation is the funds needed for paying staff and other basic monthly overheads to keep the project alive. Thank you so much for any support you are able to give.
