Karma

In Balinese culture, there is a deep belief in the law of karma,  the principle that every action has consequences, not just in the present life but across generations. Some communities believe that having a child with a physical or mental disability is a form of karmic punishment, a result of misdeeds committed by past ancestors. In many cases, families even feel the need to ask for forgiveness on behalf of their forebears.

Struggle

Because of these beliefs, children with disabilities are not always fully accepted in their communities. Combined with limited financial resources and access to healthcare, families often struggle to provide the support these children need. That’s where the Smiling Kids Foundation Bali steps in.

Empowering Children with Disabilities in North Bali

Just 1.4 km from Lovina Beach, located at Jalan Giri No. 25, Kalibukbuk Village, the Smiling Kids Foundation was established to support children with disabilities, giving them hope, independence, and the opportunity to live with dignity.

Community Life

The foundation specializes in custom-developed physiotherapy programs that empower children to become more self-reliant and engaged in community life. Their mission is rooted in a powerful vision:

"Where there is protection, there is love. Where there is love, there is hope. Where there is hope, there is life"

Changing Lives Since 2003

Since its founding in 2003, the Smiling Kids Foundation has helped thousands of children by providing:

• Specialized physiotherapy treatments
• Mobility aids and walking equipment — free of charge
• Access to meaningful education
• Logistical support and transportation for low-income families
• Medical cost assistance during treatment and recovery

The foundation welcomes all children with disabilities, especially those who are often marginalized or misunderstood by their communities. They help children regain a sense of identity, confidence, and joy in life.

A Bridge Between Donors and Those in Need

Smiling Kids Bali is more than just a foundation, it’s a bridge between kind-hearted donors and children in need. People from all walks of life and all over the world contribute through financial donations, educational support, and volunteering opportunities.

The foundation also serves as a popular site for community service projects and internships, offering students and professionals the chance to share their knowledge and compassion with these amazing children.

No matter your background, your help can make a lasting impact. Whether it’s your time, your expertise, or your heart, every act of giving brings a smile.
