Warm Welcome to Rotary Club of Bali Nusa Dua
It is with great pleasure and deep gratitude that I step into the role of Club President for the 2025–26 Rotary year. It is truly an honor to serve this outstanding club, which has built a remarkable legacy of service and fellowship.
Our Mission in Action
Rotary Club Bali Nusa Dua continues its long tradition of supporting those most in need in our community and beyond. Among our flagship programs is the Cleft Lip and Palate initiative, which will soon reach a milestone of helping nearly 2,500 children and young people from Bali and Eastern Indonesia.
We are also proud to sponsor the education of youths from underprivileged families, providing opportunities from secondary school through university. Year after year, our club supports children affected by HIV, distributes surplus food to those who need it most, and provides wheelchairs to restore dignity and mobility. These efforts are sustained by the generosity of our members, partners, and friends like you.
Why We Thrive
Rotary Club Bali Nusa Dua continues to attract new members from around the world—a testament not only to the impact of our charitable work, but also to the strong fellowship and friendships built within our club. Representing more than 12 nationalities, our members live by our guiding motto: “Think Global – Care Local.”
Join Us
We welcome both Rotarians and non-Rotarian guests to our gatherings. The club meets on the first and third Thursday of each month at 12:30 PM at Merusaka Nusa Dua. Please check our website for updates, as schedules may occasionally change. We also host evening fellowship dinners, wonderful opportunities to meet members and friends in a more relaxed setting.
