How can you help these orphans?

The Centre seeks committed permanent sponsors who will “adopt” a child or family for the duration of their education to whatever level of education the child is capable of reaching.

All sponsorship monies are directed to the payment of the child’s school fees, purchase of uniforms, books and other educational expenses. These are also a provision for morning tea cake which the child purchases at school.

Each sponsors remains committed to the same child / children for the duration of their sponsorship.

The sponsor is issued receipts for all donations.

At the completion of each six month’s school term, the sponsor will receive a summary of the child’s progress at school, a thank you letter written by the child in either English or Indonesian and any other pertinent information about their circumstances.

The children are weighed and measured to monitor their physical development. If a sponsor wishes to send a child gift of clothing, these up to date measurements will ensure the garments fit perfectly.

Together, we can make an enormous difference to the lives these children who, without our love, support and educational opportunities will continue the poverty cycle. These children will be the future leaders within their communities and hopefully beyond into the broader horizons of greater Bali and Indonesia. They will always take with them the comfort of our love and the appreciation of the opportunities they have been given to enhance their live both now and in the future.
