If you’re passionate about women’s rights, equality, and making a difference, this program in Ubud, Gianyar, offers a unique chance to create a lasting impact in the lives of women in need. You’ll have the opportunity to teach basic English, share handcrafting skills to produce authentic Balinese items for the tourism market, support women recovering from trauma, and offer valuable guidance on business growth, profit management, and investment strategies to strengthen the local economy.
Our initiative supports women facing a range of financial and personal challenges—single mothers raising children alone, women struggling after separation from their husbands, and those coping with family health crises. Each woman’s story is different, but our shared goal is to empower them to build brighter futures and achieve financial independence.
The program thrives on the dedication of individuals committed to uplifting women from diverse backgrounds. Key areas include providing essential English lessons to improve employability in Bali’s tourism-driven economy, offering business coaching to help women run successful enterprises, supporting trauma recovery through psychological care, and enhancing arts and crafts skills to boost income potential.

Location
Ubud, pronounced ‘oobood’ is located centrally in the heart of Balinese culture. Far removed from the tourist crowds of Kuta, it is famous as an arts and crafts hub, and much of the town and nearby villages seems to consist of artists’ workshops and galleries and a general feeling of well being. Ubud is surrounded by most of the things that bring people to this unique destination – scenic rice fields, small villages, art and craft communities, ancient temples, palaces and rivers.
