Why are we helping?
In 2002 and again in 2005 terrorists exploded bombs in the heart of the tourist areas of the Indonesian island of Bali, killing and injuring many people.
Unable to get work or feed their families many Balanese have been forced to send their children away to one of the over 100 orphanages just to survive.
Many of these orphans are classed as "Economic Lemah" which means Parents of poor economic circumstances. They come from all over Indonesia including Bali and also from East & West Timor where ethnic and cultural violence left many children with no one to care for them.
The One World Orphans Fund is currently engaged in providing assistance to a number of Orphanages and Aid organisations in Bali, with Food, Whitegoods, Building materials, Educational Products, Medication, Hygiene Products, Clothing and Toys.
Funding for these institutions comes almost entirely from donations as in many countries there is no Government assistance available.
The Funds longer term goal is to provide building service and renovate many of the orphanages facilities where cooking and bathroom conditions are poor.
Ultimately the fund would like to provide a University level education to some of the children disadvantaged in this way so that they may contribute to their societies in a meaningful way.
