Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR No. 5 – SPREAD Kindness

EXTREME POVERTY IN KARANGASEM BALI. We are all here on Earth on a mission, and one of them is to help others. No matter our differences in background or religion, we are obliged to encourage each other to spread love and kindness. We, the Management of Handara Golf & Resort Bali, ‘will do the best we can with this life to be of use’ especially to the poor and the orphan community.  We are committed to help the wider community by implementing CSR Program.

On June 15, 2016, the Management of Handara Golf & Resort Bali visited Nawa Kerti Village in Karangasem, East Bali where thousands of Bali residents live in extreme poverty. The soil is dry and infertile and most of the village residents are very poor and have restricted access to clan water and electricity. Package of daily necessities (i.e rice, oil, sugar, washing detergent and soap) was supported by our loyal patrons the Jester Groups and Handara’s family and friends.

We presented the daily goods package to 402 families living under the poverty line.  We hope to continue supporting them in the future.

We thanks to our golfers, friends and family for making this happen

CSR No. 6 – HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS

The sun shines bright, the fogs cover the hills and the smell of wet grass chills our bones every morning. During this Emotional Intelligence Awareness month, happiness is shared with a lot of people, especially Handara golfers, underprivileged orphan children and special needs children. With a lot of fun prizes, Golfers are gathered in our Handara Golf & Resort to attend our yearly Hackers & Slackers Fun Golf Carnivale as part of our commitment to continue the legacy of giving back to the community in our CSR Program. We were raising funds as well as reaching out to children in need and were supported by a lot of partners such as Nurul Quran Bali, Larondendari Bali, Mom’s and I, Bali Adventure Tours and many more. We’re humbled that other entities have started to trust and support us doing this worthy cause.

Our 2nd Hackers & Slackers Fun Golf Carnivale at Handara Golf & Resort was a great success. With the objection to share happiness with children, especially underprivileged and those with special needs, we invited a total of 50 orphan kids to join us at this year’s Carnivale on the 24th of September 2016. Young and old enjoyed a day full of sunshine, lots of laughters and fun together. To make this happen we were supported by our partners Bali Adventure Tours and Mom’s & I. Handara Golf & Resort is proud to receive their support as well as their trust in us organizing the Hackers & Slackers Fun Golf Carnivale tournament for the second time already. All the funds that have been raised that day will be used for the Handara CSR Program in order to give back to the community and to put a smile on many other children’s faces.

The main mission of the second Hackers & Slackers Fun Golf Carnivale at Handara Golf & Resort was to support a worthy cause and make children smile and happy. In order to make this happen we were coordinating the efforts not only with our supporting partners Bali Adventure Tours and Mom’s & I, but also with Nurul Quran Bali, an orphan care program, and Larondedari Bali. The children’s boutique Larondedari participated by giving one of its gorgeous looking princess dresses to be auctioned during the award ceremony, where 100% of its proceeds go to the Handara Golf & Resort Corporate Social Responsibility Program (CSR).

With Nurul Quran’s orphan care program, the proceeds have been well received by following orphanage houses and organization:

1. Rumah Singgah Yatim dan Dhuafa Pelangi Anak Negeri Denpasar
2. Yapenatim Gianyar
3. Yayasan Panti Asuhan Tunas Bangsa Denpasar
4. ZIS Miftahul Falah Sanur Denpasar
5. Panti Asuhan Yayasan Yatim Piatu Singaraja
6. Panti Asuhan Yappenatim (yayasan Penolong Pendidikan Anak Yatim dan Miskin) Denpasar

And together with Larondedari Bali, the proceeds go to Yayasan Widya Guna WINS Foundation, a home and learning center for underprivileged and special needs children.

We’re planning to have the next CSR program at the end of the year. Should you wish to join this good cause, please don’t hesitate to contact us at gm@handaragolfresort.com. We look forward to your continued support to spread love and care to the wider community.

CSR No. 7 – Partnering A Non-profit Organization that Helps Children with Cancer in Bali

As giving back to the community is part of our mission, this time we wanted to share our happiness with children in need. We were fortunate to have Yayasan Peduli Anak Kanker Bali as our partner. Handara Golf & Resort Bali conducted our CSR Program which was joined by golfers from Sutowo Amateur Charity Golf Tournament, as well as our extended family and friends.
Yayasan Peduli Anak Kanker Bali is a non-profit organization in Bali that helps a lot of children with cancer mentally and financially.

With this program, we helped 14 kids with cancer between the age of 3 to 11 year’s old who are diagnosed with leukemia, skin and kidney cancer. We were really blessed and happy to see the smiles on the children’s faces and to be able to lessen a little of their burden. We hope we can continue sending our support to these 14 kids in any way possible.
