How do YOU make a difference?

While changing families lives is no easy task, we think sponsoring them should be. 

Here are five steps you can expect:

We set up a food drop

Our team will set up a food drop to provide aid for struggling families in remote areas of Bali. Our aim is to provide families with enough food to last them 3-4 weeks.

We scout for the most vulnerable

On average, a food drop will provide aid to 20-40 families each month. During our food drops, our team scouts for families in critical need of adequate shelter.

A family's life is changed forever

We then choose one family to completely change their lives. We build them an adequate home to properly sustain a family and make sure to provide them with anything need for a fair chance at life.

We share their stories

On average our projects takes 1- 4 weeks to complete. We’ll keep you updated along the way and show the world the power of community and love.
