Love for Lembongan: Empowering Health and Education in Our Community
At Love for Lembongan, our mission is to uplift the local community by ensuring access to quality healthcare and education. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, and our partnership with Bali Children Foundation, we’ve made significant strides in both areas, focusing on those who need it most. Here’s an update on how your support has been making a difference.
Revolutionising Education with EdTech and Engaging Learning Programs
During our visit on 18th March 2025 to SDN 3 Lembongan (Primary School in Jungut Batu) , we saw first-hand how our EdTech and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) programs are transforming classrooms. Each Grade 1 student is equipped with a tablet pre-loaded with interactive apps designed to enhance literacy and numeracy skills. With a user-friendly interface and engaging elements, these tablets have made learning more accessible, fun, and effective for young students.
Who is benefiting?
This initiative which was launched in September 2024, is already making a meaningful impact, reaching 147 Grade 1 students across five primary schools: SDN 1 in Sandy Bay, SDN 2 in Nusa Ceningan, SDN 3 Lembongan village, SDN 1 Jungutbatu, and SDN 3 Jungutbatu. A recent assessment conducted by the Bali Children Foundation showed that students from Nusa Lembongan and Ceningan outperformed those in other regencies in Bali, including Buleleng, Bangli, and Tabanan, where schools also participate in the EdTech program. The students here achieved the highest midline scores in both literacy and numeracy—an encouraging result!

Extra English Lessons
Beyond digital learning, we continue to enhance students’ education with our English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, taught by Pak Benhar, who splits his time teaching at the five primary schools each week. The EFL program is being taught to grade 3 to 6 students.
Thanks to your generous donations together with the support and implementation of the Bali Children Foundation, tablets were purchased, as well as the recruitment and training of teachers to support these programs. Your contributions have played a pivotal role in shaping a brighter future for Nusa Lembongan’s youngest learners.
Prioritising Health for a Stronger Community
In the health sector, our priority remains providing essential medical care to those in urgent need.
We are currently updating and reviewing our list of priority patients, as some of the elderly individuals we previously cared for have, sadly, passed away. While supporting seniors and children remains a key focus, this year we are also expanding our efforts to women’s and reproductive health. Through a new partnership with Bunda, we will be conducting Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) screenings—an early detection method for cervical cancer—among local residents.
Your donations are crucial in ensuring these vital healthcare initiatives continue to run, keeping Nusa Lembongan a healthy and thriving community.
Emergency Relief and Community Support
Last year, we supported a local resident, Ketut Stanley, who lost his home and belongings in a devastating fire. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide him with essential supplies to help him rebuild his life.
This year, we remain committed to providing emergency relief for local families facing unexpected hardships. Whether it’s medical emergencies, natural disasters, or other crises, your support allows us to respond swiftly and make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Looking Ahead
As we continue our mission, we remain dedicated to expanding access to healthcare and education in Nusa Lembongan. Every donation, big or small, plays a vital role in sustaining and growing these initiatives.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our donors and supporters who make this work possible. Together, we are creating lasting change. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue making a positive impact in our community!
