Funding a library in Bali is as rewarding as it gets. Renovating, supplying and training schools is one of the best ways we can support literacy in Bali. Funders are invited to see the projects upon completion.
*all costs given below are estimates, with full budgets and building quotes refined once a project has a potential funder.
Whether you are a school, business, teacher or individual just wanting to do a good thing, our ‘fund a library’ program is open for funding. You can see our whole list of schools currently in need, waiting for you to transform literacy.

Sukuwana Library
Project Type: Medium Size Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $12,000 USD
Students: 135
About
Sukuwana School has lacked support for years. It is in the remote mountains of Bali, down small roads and in the heart of farmland. As it is higher than the rest of Bali, it is vegetables that are grown here, not rice. Most of the parents are only primary and junior high school graduates. The condition of the library is very poor, although the teachers often encourage students to read. It is not very interesting for the students, as all the books are old, boring text books. It requires a fairly substantial renovation to turn it into a thriving learning center.
Amlapura High
Project Type: Major Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $25,520 USD
Students: 712
About
On the outskirts of Amlapura City, we hope to renovate our first ever junior high school library. The school serves 7 times more than the average number of elementary school students. A large building, their library is poor in quality, with the holes in the roof and a damp ceiling that could fall at any time. The library is cramped and full of dusty old black and white text books. It requires a large renovation with more books and furniture that our smaller sized renovations.
Seraya Library
Project Type: Medium Sized Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $10,400 USD
Students: 102
About
Up in the rural mountains of Bali, this library never really had children learning inside. It’s because the books are old and not so interesting. There’s no comfortable seating and the building is showing signs of decay. The school has kept it clean and tried to encourage students to read, but when children aren’t interested, it’s hard to inspire them. We aim to turn this library into a beautiful learning center, if we can find a donor to fund it.
