In October, we sent our intern Kristina to visit the ROLE Foundation in Nusa Dua.
Founded in 2007, ROLE (Rivers, Ocean, Land and Environment) aims to stop land-based waste from leaking into oceans, as well as creating sustainable jobs to protect the livelihoods of coastal communities.
The Foundation runs several programmes in the local communities. The Bali WISE programme educates women. They provide three month programmes to train and prepare women in different areas including hotel, spa and sales. Some women choose to take up a university degree and some enter the world of work. After the programme, the Foundation stays in contact with the women to provide assistance with any job hunting help they need.
