waste recycling project
Bali, Indonesia's primary tourist destination faces an escalating waste
problem. In the formerly pristine environment, waste is now disposed
randomly in rivers, canals and roadside or wherever it becomes redundant.
The waste problem in Bali, like elsewhere in Indonesia needs to be
urgently addressed with solutions that are environmentally friendly and
economically viable.

schools projects
Wide public education in Indonesia has been under development for less than 60 years
and has been consistently under funded. The club is working with 44
elementary schools to provide safe physical environments, school supplies,
teaching material and classroom furniture.

sustainable agriculture project
Rice farming in Bali is suffering from soil exhaustion, over-use of
chemicals, reduced availability of water, and reducing yields. The
System of Rice Intensification (SRI) helps return soils to a healthy
state and can double rice production with much less water.

aceh clinic project
RC of Bali Ubud supports Yayasan Bumi Sehat in the tsunami-ravaged area of
Aceh in INdonesia. This NGO is available 24 hours for emergency service. Their daily clinic patients
include those suffering from skin conditions, coughs (sometimes TB), minor
illnesses, tropical diseases (exacerbated by poverty) ie. malaria, dengue,
leprosy, and trauma patients from burns and motorbike accidents.
Daily they offer prenatal care. Birth services 24 hrs, postpartum care and
breastfeeding support. Due to malnutrition there is a grave risk of maternal and
infant death.
Rotary Club of Bali Ubud has sponsored the building of a fully equipped
maternal and child health clinic with funds received from “The Rotary Solidarity
Fund in South Asia”, BAYAR through INDOGERM and the RC Bali
Ubud Tsunami Fund.
This clinic building is earthquake resistant, with waste water gardens for
the effluent, and an independent energy supply (there is still no electricity in
our region of Aceh). This clinic is a turn key clinic, and when completed will
include furnishings and medical equipment.

Another 300 wheelchairs are in the pipeline.

lip/palate surgery offered free by other Rotary clubs of Bali or the John

execute small projects in Bali.
