Founded in 2011, Yayasan Solemen Indonesia is reputedly one of Bali’s most visible and trusted charities. Solemen actively reaches people who fall through the healthcare cracks and are not helped by the existing network of charitable organisations and government programs.

 

Solemen assists people of all ages, religions and social positions Bali-wide. The organisation funds regular medical assessments and treatments, provide enhanced nutrition in the form of specialist milk and food parcels, providing the staples required monthly. Solemen programmes also sponsor education, vocational training. We engage with local communities for their support to optimise outcomes

 

We are now looking after the daily needs of thousands of “SoleBuddies,” the affectionate term for those we care for. We have a talented Board of Directors, dedicated managers, and a wonderful group of outreach workers, all of which is supported by a lean administrative team. Compassion is the basis for our holistic work, and it carries us through some truly heart wrenching experiences.

TESTIMONIALS

Sometimes people ask which charities to support in Bali…This is one of the absolute ‘diamonds’…Sarah Chapman and Robert Epstone do the most remarkable work – and so much of it is ‘hands on’. This organisation is world class – whatever you feel you can give, small or large, will always be appreciated too.

Solemen Indonesia post almost daily they show photos of what they’re doing, they show where the money is going, they show their gratitude for the people who have donated, they are totally transparent. I need all the help they can get. They specialize in medical help which cost thousands and thousands of dollars for specialized surgery and Hospital situation. They distribute food, clothing, medical assistance, wheelchairs, everything that’s needed the most and they document everything. You can trust this organization with every cent that you donate to go to exactly where it’s intended to.

“How can the Sudarsana Family ever thank you enough. Ibu has suffered such pain with these nasty infected ulcers. You and your team brought miracle to her and her family. Until Solemen team came to visit, the family was terrified of all hospitals. Nurse Sarah Chapman presented such a convincing rational explanation for the need of a hospital visit that tomorrow, the family will take Ibu for an X-ray. Thank you so much for one of your team being at the hospital to guide the family through the necessary procedures. There were a lot of tears in that room today, all of gratitude and relief. Such kindness is a beautiful thing to see. Please keep up your good work.”
