Bali Life was established by Brad and Siska Little, an Australian-Indonesian couple, after their encounter with a 9-year-old boy living on the streets of Kuta inspired them to set up a children's home in Bali. With the support of a visiting businessman, Bali Life was born and they were able to find a suitable property for their first two children in 2006. In 2013, Siska's brother Piter Panjaitan and his wife Lyna took over the organisation, continuing to grow the foundation's impact across Bali and Indonesia. Under their leadership, Bali Life expanded to include a Street Kids Centre, Women's Workshop, Suwung Community Centre, and disaster relief programs.

Bali Life Foundation is a registered Indonesian nonprofit. General charitable donations in Indonesia are not automatically deductible from personal income tax - only specific categories qualify under Government Regulation PP 93/2010 (donations for national disaster relief, research and development, education, sports development, and social-infrastructure built through approved channels). Zakat, infak and sedekah paid to a nationally licensed Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ) or to BAZNAS are deductible from gross taxable income under Law 23/2011 - proof of payment (Bukti Setor Zakat) is required. International donors can give through PayPal, GlobalGiving, or direct bank transfer (Indonesian banks: BCA, Mandiri, BNI, BRI); domestic donors typically use bank transfer, Kitabisa, BenihBaik, or e-wallets (GoPay, OVO, DANA, ShopeePay). Consult an Indonesian tax adviser for guidance specific to your situation.

Bali Life Foundation is a registered Indonesian foundation. It is registered with Ditjen AHU under Indonesia's Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham), with registration number AHU-4948.AH.01.02.Tahun 2008.

You can verify Bali Life Foundation's legal status in three ways. First, search Indonesia's official AHU registry at https://ahu.go.id/pencarian/yayasan (for Yayasan) or /pencarian/perkumpulan (for Perkumpulan) using the organisation's full Indonesian name - every legally-registered Yayasan or Perkumpulan must appear in that database with its SK Menkumham (decree number). Bali Life Foundation's registration number is AHU-4948.AH.01.02.Tahun 2008. Second, ask the organisation for its NPWP (taxpayer number) and the most recent akta yayasan or akta perkumpulan (notarial deed) - legitimate Indonesian nonprofits will share these on request. Third, check whether the organisation publishes annual financial reports (laporan keuangan) and a list of its board (pengurus) - both are required for legitimate Indonesian foundations under Law 28/2004.

You can donate to Bali Life Foundation directly through its donation page (https://balilife.org/donate/). Indonesian charities typically accept bank transfers (Bank BCA, Mandiri, BNI, BRI), e-wallets (GoPay, OVO, DANA, ShopeePay, LinkAja), and donations via Indonesian fundraising platforms such as Kitabisa or BenihBaik. International donors can usually give via PayPal, GlobalGiving, or international wire transfer; remittance services like Wise or Western Union also work but the fee structure varies. Always confirm the recipient's bank-account name and NPWP / registration number before sending funds, and ask for a written acknowledgement (tanda terima donasi).

Bali Life Foundation is based in Ungasan, Bali, Indonesia. Bali sits on the Lesser Sunda Islands, one of the major island regions of the Indonesian archipelago.
