Starting with Bali,

we're harnessing the storytelling power of travel bloggers to multiply the

positive effect of non-profit organisations.











THIS IS THE PLAN

There are 1.2 million travel bloggers in the world.

Imagine if each one of them visited just ONE non-profit organisation at ONE destination.

That would be 1.2 million stories bringing to light the work of non-profits.

People who had never heard of a non-profit before would now know about it.

And hopefully, that would translate into them supporting the non-profit, whether with word-of-mouth, money or time.

Now, we just need to get these stories going. (More on this down the page.)

Starting with ONE non-profit in ONE location.

R.O.L.E. Foundation in Bali.

WHY BALI?

Every year four million plus tourist’s land on the island of Bali. That's as many tourists as there are residents.

"Everyday Indonesia produces 130,000 tons of solid and liquid waste. Approximately 50% of this reaches landfill sites the rest is either burned or illegally dumped and flows into the ocean. This massive volume of waste entering our oceans and skies threatens any chance of a sustainable future." ROLE FOUNDATION]





WHY R.O.L.E. FOUNDATION?

Their mission is having clean oceans, free of land-based waste and sustainable businesses for coastal communities and removes the barriers preventing disadvantaged Indonesian women accessing education and securing work, through a six month intensive course with free education in English, Bahasa, IT, hospitality and business skills. It has helped place more than 800 women in gainful employment since 2012, and will train 120 disadvantaged women this year.





THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN...

With your help, we can raise enough money sponsor the R.O.L.E Foundation programs and to then get travel bloggers or vloggers to create a number of stories and videos about the R.O.L.E foundation and thier positive work in Bali.

For the bloggers it NOT payment, it is only to cover their travel expenses. And we will only approach bloggers that happen to be in Bali at the time. No point paying for a flight ticket and incurring more bad carbon karma!







SO, THIS IS ALSO WHERE YOUR SUPPORT WILL GO.



Construct 1 waste education center.

Support 3 Balinese through the Bali WISE cources.

Teach Balinese women to weave.

Recycle 75 tonnes of wasted Soap.

Tell thier stories though mini documentaires via travel bloggers.





STILL READING?

Let's get into a little more detail....

We've picked an NGO on Bali to start the ball rolling and now it is time to raise some funds for their important projects, then to tell their stories using travel bloggers to do what they do best: share their positive experiences with the world via social media.

Bali is the ideal place for a holiday, which also makes it the ideal destination in need of all our support. We want to give back, we want to help travelers give back while shining positive light on those doing 'good' in Bali.

In 2015 we visited Bali to check out some leading NGO's and we loved what the R.O.L.E foundation we're up to.

Their mission is having clean oceans, free of land-based waste and sustainable businesses for coastal communities.

(SOAP For Hope)



They're Inspiring the local government to incorporate the “Zero Waste to Ocean” waste management into their process so that waste is recycled or upcycled on site, while promoting sustainable jobs and businesses, such as organic cotton, natural dye weaving, permaculture farming and soap recycling.





(R.O.L.E Weaving)

Through Bali WISE they support marginalised women with a six-month hospitality training course, helping them find permanent jobs in the hospitality sector.





(Bali W.I.S.E)

We can't find a good reason not to support their efforts.



That's why, starting with R.O.LE, we're going to, with your help be financially supporting their Environmental Centre, Bali WISE school, Zero Waste Management and Sustainable Business programs (SOAP & Weaving).

(Founding Member Reward)

We'll use the remaining money to encourage locals, travellers and travel bloggers to join in and tell their positive stories about ROLE, Bali WISE and other NGOs, charities and social enterprises helping Bali, of which there is no shortage.
