Bali Sports Foundation

To improve the lives of underprivileged children and children with disabilities in Bali & East Indonesia by using the power of sport and play for development, health and peace.

VISION –
To create a healthier and safer East Indonesia through the power of sport and play.

HOW –
By providing Safe and supportive sports environment which can provide youth with a place in which they are treated with dignity and through which they can:

Develop new and valued skills
Form friendships, receive and give peer support, and enhance their social networks
Receive mentoring support from trusted adults, who can serve as youth advocates
Take advantage of new learning and educational opportunities.
High level training through volunteer coaches and mentors
Train the trainers program for the sports centres
Identify promising talent and provide them with life skills
Particularly assisting the disabled to enhance their lives through sport and recreational opportunities

“Sport can play a role in improving the lives of individuals, not only individuals, I might add, but whole communities. I am convinced that the time is right to build on that understanding, to encourage governments, development agencies and communities to think how sport can be included more systematically in the plans to help children, particularly those living in the midst of poverty, disease and conflict.”
