There are many children in Bali living in extremely poor conditions where their only option is to drop out of primary school and work in the fields, as their fathers and forefathers have done for centuries.
We've been coming to Bali since 2007. One of the first things we noticed was the magnetic friendliness of the local children. Despite having very little, they run around finding fun with their beautiful big smiles. Unfortunately many families can't afford to pay for their child's education. Without an education, these children are at a huge disadvantage, and are ultimately lucky to find even low paying work.
Having been so fortunate living in Bali over the years, we wanted to raise awareness about this issue and raise money to fund education for as many underprivileged kids in Bali as possible.

These agricultural areas are shrinking with the addition of new and wider roads to accommodate the growing tourist demand for more hotels, villas and restaurants. The children in these areas will have very little or no work at all.
However, with your sponsorship through Saba's Kids and Bali Children Foundation, these children will be able to stay at school, finish high school, get employment or go on to University or Technical College. With their strong sense of community, the whole family and village will benefit from their education.
Once your payment has been received you will receive an email with a 'Sponsor Kit' including information and a photo of your child. Sponsors will also receive in the mail an update of the sponsored child in form of photobook and letter/drawing as well as a school report.
Since starting Saba's kids, we've driven all over Bali, meeting many wonderful children in the process. Here are some of the images we have captured along the way:
