Welcome to Raw Foundations. We are a dedicated non profit organization in Bali. Our foundation was originally established in 2020. The difficult times of the Covid-19 pandemic pushed us to come together. Consequently, we decided to take immediate action and make a meaningful social impact across the island.
The name RAW is a meaningful abbreviation from the Sanskrit phrase "Ripta Asasta Waksudha". This beautiful phrase literally means bringing the earth back to green again. In other words, our ultimate vision is to actively create a prosperous and more sustainable world for future generations.
Our Mission as a Non Profit Organization in Bali
Currently, many local communities face huge geographical barriers. Therefore, this non profit organization in Bali aims to develop underprivileged farmers, fishermen, and children. These groups usually have great potential for development. However, they suffer from very limited access to trade markets, financial resources, and proper education.
To achieve our targets, we promote sustainability by helping low-income families get free counseling. Furthermore, we provide necessary tools, ongoing professional training, and direct connections to trade markets for local SMEs. Through these collaborative actions, we can slowly improve their daily livelihoods.
Our Strategic Social Programs
We manage three main pillars to support our core vision. First, we provide specialized SME and agricultural counseling. Second, we deliver vital educational assistance to underprivileged children. Specifically, we support the future generation by giving them their basic right to attend school and learn safely.
Third, we actively run a sustainable Food Drive. In this case, we work very closely with Pepito, the pioneer of premium supermarkets in Bali. We collect and distribute essential food donations every month to communities in dire need. In addition, you can see our progress by reading our latest elderly empowerment updates.
We believe that structural poverty can be alleviated through consistency. If you want to take part in this journey, please visit our volunteer and sponsor page. Together, we can continuously work as an impactful non profit organization in Bali to transform more lives.
