With so much happening in the world and probably even in your life at home right now too, it’s good to take a pause and consider the fact that a lot of people are struggling and suffering right now or will be soon from the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Now that official news is realeased that Bali will closed for at least another couple months for international travel, we are overwhelmed with waves of sadness, because not only that means most of you have to cancel your trip, but more importantly that means so many people in Bali and local business will loose everything that they've worked so hard for.
If they didn't already...we all need to support the island that we love so much in every kind of way, knowing more than 80% of the island depends on tourism, Balinese communities are being hit hard. Leaving families hungry and without any money.
We do our work in Bali, with Bali, for Bali. And we believe that, with your help, we’ll be able to feed Balinese families. By giving back and donating our 10% nett profit to Balinese people starting from the month of September until end of 2020 will go back to Balinese people via Feed Bali.
Maybe Bali is your second home or your upcoming vacation has been canceled and you would love to know how or who to support. These initiatives below would be happy with all of your contributions. And you can make an incredible difference for a Balinese family from your own home wherever in the world.
Local initiatives, projects and businesses are working hard to contribute in this time of crisis. It’s amazing what we’ve seen so far! We thought we share them with you here on the website. So you can be up to date and jump in to support and contribute wherever you can!
We are also working on ideas how we can involve all you guys, our incredible Casa Lovina tribe! And are currently talking to local friends, family and artisans on this, we will keep you posted!
So let’s get to action and spread positivity together to help the communities in Bali survive all this.
It’s an opportunity to unite and support is all that matters right now!

Feed a Family, by Tresna Bali Cooking School
Adi is doing AMAZING work with her team to organize basic staples from her cooking school to bring to local villages that depend most on tourism. She works with the ‘banjar’ (village heads) that know which families need it first. She is buying the groceries from local warungs and markets to further support local communities. You can donate to directly feed a family!

Crisis Kitchen Bali
Watch this video, it says it all! They also ask for food to be dropped off if you can at Jalan Umalas 1 No.54 Bali
(next to Tropicana Churros Cafe). Because there’s not enough time to shop. Most essential are: rice, noodles, eggs, baby milk formula, fresh vegetables. Anything helps! Or drop by to donate cash, and for overseas donations check out this link. With a donation of only 50 USD they can feed 90 people.
