Help 1000 Bali Women Gain Health & Life Skills

Thanks for your support during GlobalGiving's Little x Little campaign in March. We raised $3292 in total: $2746 in donations and $547 in matching funds from GlobalGiving. This year, Little x Little was one day shorter than usual, with just four days of fundraising, but 38 donors answered our call and supported us during the campaign. 

The extra donations which came in during the campaign took us to over half way to our goal of $8000!

This workshop program is crucial to improving the health, mental health and financial skills of 1000 women in our local and nearby villages.  We'll guide them with resources or lifestyle changes that can help with mental health issues, post partum complications, diabetes and aging, all of which are rapidly rising issues in Indonesia and disproportionately affect lower income families. Families who can't readily afford health care will often let conditions deteriorate until they're at a crisis point and need extensive medical intervention. This goes for both mental as well as physical health. 

In addition, Bali's traditional culture of preventive care through a healthy diet and getting enough exercise and rest, is being disrupted by the demands of modern life, a lack of time and a relatively new culture of working outside the family home or rice fields. Through our healthy living and healthy skills workshops, we're trying to reinstate a habit of preventive care and self-care before health conditions become critical. 

Thanks to your support, we'll get there!
