"Think Global - Care Local"
Warm Welcome to
Rotary Club of Bali Nusa Dua
It is with great pleasure and deep gratitude that I step into the role of President of Rotary Club Bali Nusa Dua for the 2026–27 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 our Cleft Lip and Palate Program, which since 1994 has provided more than 2,500 life-changing interventions, helping children and young people from Bali and Eastern Indonesia.
We are also proud to support the education of young people from underprivileged families, providing opportunities from secondary school through university. Year after year, our club assists children affected by HIV, supports schools for children with special needs, and provides prosthetic legs to restore dignity and mobility. These efforts are made possible through 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 humanitarian work, but also to the strong fellowship and lasting friendships within our club. Today, our members represent 12 nationalities, united by our guiding motto: “Think Global – Care Local.”
