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.
