FOR BALI

We believe our duty as a small business in Bali is to give back to the island and community that has given us so many opportunities 
FREE - We are happy to do our best to schedule one of our drivers and vans for your group when available to visit Seeds of Hope or YPAC (home for Physically Challenged). Please visit their websites to schedule your visit and we'll help with transportation. Both homes are doing fantastic work and in need of regular support to continue to do so. Should you prefer, donated goods can be left at The Shampoo Lounge / Bali Barber in Seminyak or Nusa Dua and we'll for sure get them to those in need. 

    Would you like to visit a Bali home that needs contributions?

We frequently get the question, what is needed? Imagine raising fifty kids (or fifty elderly people in poor health) or more on a super tight budget, now cut that budget in half. They definitely don't need candy, treats, etc. Here's a good list to reference provided by YPAC that is pretty much universal at all homes.
