Widya Guna Bali
Travelers seeking a meaningful and immersive experience in Bali should consider volunteering at Yayasan Widya Guna. This non-profit foundation in the village of Bedulu provides education and support to underprivileged children, orphans, and those with physical and developmental disabilities groups often overlooked by traditional schools. By volunteering here, travelers have the chance to make a real difference through teaching, art, yoga, therapy assistance, or even organic gardening. The experience goes beyond volunteering it’s a deep cultural exchange, with volunteers staying nearby in locally run accommodations and participating in daily village life. Contributions directly support the foundation’s self-sustaining model, funding essential needs like food, school supplies, and medical care. With a supportive environment and flexible roles tailored to each volunteer’s skills, Yayasan Widya Guna offers a truly rewarding opportunity to give back, grow personally, and be part of something lasting.
At Yayasan Widya Guna, we are a passionate and close-knit team committed to creating equal opportunities for children who are often left behind especially those with disabilities, from impoverished backgrounds, or without families. Founded with the belief that education and compassion can break cycles of poverty and exclusion, our team consists of local teachers and certified therapists who treat every child and volunteer as part of our extended family.
Volunteers can expect to be welcomed with warmth, respect, and genuine appreciation. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be guided by experienced staff who will help you settle in, understand your role, and provide ongoing support throughout your stay. We believe in open communication, mutual learning, and cultural exchange, and we make it a priority to match each volunteer’s skills and passions with areas where they can make the most impact. Whether you’re teaching English, assisting children with special needs, or helping in the garden, your contribution is valued.
We strive to create a nurturing environment where volunteers feel safe, included, and inspired. Many of our past volunteers describe their time with us not only as impactful for the children, but also personally transformative thanks in part to the strong bonds formed with staff, students, and fellow volunteers. Here, you’re not just giving your time you’re becoming part of a caring community.
