EBPP which stands for East Bali Poverty Project established by a British resident of Bali in 1998. With the philosophy of “helping people to help themselves”, EBPP provided programmes that help thousands of people in Bali where they are living in isolation and abject poverty, forgotten by time and progress and chance to change.

 

 

EBPP aims to improve living ecosystems in terms of education and healthcare, they also provide sustainable food sources for thousands of people. EBPP continues ensuring the preservation of the local environment and ecosystems, especially in East Bali. One the example from their educational program is supporting children with disabilities in partnership with the therapist community in Bali.
