HELPING FAMILIES IN NEED
We are part of the Bali Life Foundation and delivering since July 2020 essential food supplies, if financially possible on a monthly basis, to the village Desa Adat Penutuk in the mountain area of Nusa Penida - Bali’s famous neighbour island!
We are committed to helping people who are still conquering the challenge of the hard island itself, Covid-19 & to give especially the youngest opportunities for a better future!
THE PROBLEM
Nusa Penida is very different to Bali and was struggling from the beginning!
It is not made of volcanic ground but limestone! That means growing veggies there is very difficult; especially in the rainy season where everything is washed away. Usually rice and all other supplies are imported from Bali, but that also means that the prices are way higher.
The government support is low as the Nusa islands are officially part of the rural Klungkung area in the east and don't get as much support as the touristic areas in Bali.
When Covid-19 hit most of the people lost their jobs, as the only good job opportunity were daily tourists who visited Penida's famous spots.
Right now tourism is slowly coming back, but especially the rural areas in the mountains of Nusa Penida don’t benefit yet enough from this effect!
Meaning: the need for help is still essential!
OUR RESPONSE
We are two longtime friends who met in 2015. Since that day our friendship grew continuously every day – we became family! When Covid-19 hit the world and the island it was without any question that we have to act for the people in need.
We started Help4Penida in July 2020 with our GoFundMe campaign and were lucky to receive until now 5.166€ which helped us to deliver almost every month essential food supplies for the villagers in Desa Adat Penutuk – Komang's home village in the mountain area of Nusa Penida.
We are strong together and can make a huge impact to the villagers - even with small amounts! So let’s preserve this paradise together!
MONTHLY UPDATES
Depending on our financial situation, we deliver new food supplies every month. In consultation with the village, we first distribute food to those who have it the hardest that month. On average, we deliver about 200-250kg of rice, 180 packages of noodles, 10 pallets of eggs and oil for cooking to 25 families (4-6 people) per time. This costs between 250-300€ depending on the current food prices and supplies the families over the next weeks.
