Bali Crisis Care Foundation – Lovina, Bali

Bali Crisis Care – Lovina, Bali

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.

Yayasan Kemanusiaan Ibu Pertiwi

Yayasan Kemanusiaan Ibu Pertiwi The Humanitarian Foundation for Mother Earth was created by a group of individuals, both Indonesian and expatriate, who were directly involved in different areas at the Sanglah hospital in the first traumatic days after the Bali bombing of October 12th, 2002.

YKIP is working on the development of long term projects to improve existing medical services, to assist the children of the bomb victims through educational scholarships, and to assist the Balinese community in general. YKIP also acts as a conduit for donors from around the world who would like to help the Balinese.

SALAM Children

SALAM Children SALAM Children's Home was established in March 1979 by four independent Christian organizations to provide a way for disadvantaged children in small villages to go to school. These organizations were Saksi, Christian Life Foundation, Ambassadors and Mel Tari Evangelistic Association, forming the acronym SALAM which is an Indonesian word meaning "peace" and "greetings".

A large proportion of SALAM's foundation children were fatherless- in the aftermath of the communist coup in 1965. The vision of the SALAM Founders was to provide a nurturing Christian environment for those children who came out of this situation, with a focus on providing education, but also serving their communities.

Puppy Shelter - Bali

Puppy Shelter - Bali
before

after
We are setting up a puppy shelter for young neglected Bali street pups. For the street pups in Bali it really IS a “dogs life” nothing is easy they are neglected , starving , suffering all sorts of parasites and skin diseases.

They are ravished by all conditions, and no home to live in, they are killed to be eaten for dinner.
They spend their young lives hiding in fear, they become flea infested and tick infested the ones which die quickly are lucky, the ones which are flee infested and left to die slowly, suffer greatly with open wounds which are fly blown, they stagger until they drop in filthy gutters.

Puppies need to be loved and nurtured, that's what this shelter would like to do. The aim is to also give medical attention and a shelter where they will be able to rehabilitate and learn to trust again, attention to sterilization, and education for children. We want to adopt pups to good homes where they will be loved and appreciated.

This is to be an important facility for Bali and to help us to make it a success please contact us telp 7904579, email
