FOOD FOR PENIDA FAMILIES IN NEED

Food for Penida Families in Need

On the Balinese Island of Nusa Penida, local businesses are fundraising to feed families in need this Christmas.   A video plea by the people of Nusa Penida is circulating online attracting attention to the fact that families affected by the global pandemic are going hungry.

The Island became insta-famous after 2015, with tourists flocking in droves to take selfies at the most breathtaking locations.  In February the tourists stopped coming.   Thousands are out of work, without any social services safety net.  Some communities are already suffering from significant poverty. 

“Our beautiful Island is in trouble… we are in the middle of the worst economic crisis we have ever seen” Said Wayan Yadnya, Founder of Nuansa Penida Hostel and Green Kubu Penida.  “Without any income people are going hungry” 

"Many people we asking us 'how can we help the local people affected by this global pandemic?' So this fundraiser is for all of you who love and miss Nusa Penida." stated Liza & Wayan, owners of Penida Colada Beach Bar

 Will you help make a difference for Nusa Penida families affected by the global pandemic?

If Nusa Penida holds a special place in your heart, please give whatever you can.  Your $10 will buy a basic food package for a family in need, right now. 

“Christmas is a time for giving and taking care of those less fortunate,” said Dani, Owner at the award-winning dive centre, Scuba Junkie. 

The Fundraiser is happening from 1-31st December.  Essential food packages will be distributed through December & early January.

So far you have helped us raise $5157.39 to support families in need here on Nusa Penida Island.  That means we've kicked the original goal of $5000 but we're not stopping here.  There are still 8 days to go in this campaign.  More donations = more food packages.

You'll be happy to know 300 food parcels were delivered yesterday.  And more will go out after Christmas.


Please keep sharing the link with friends and family. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!


With thanks and love,

Friday 18th Dec
You've been thinking about it. You saw that post a while back. But Christmas time is always so hectic! We understand. There is still time. There are 12 days left to show your support. If you can't donate, please share this message. The first distribution of food packages will begin before Christmas, just in time to help ease the financial burden as families start sending kids back to school. We'll share photos with you here on the fundraising page. With thanks, Liza, Wayan, Christina, Dani and the rest of the fundraising team. *images include informed consent
