Support Us Through Merchandise Sales
Selling merchandise plays a big role in helping us rais e the funds needed to support SoleBuddies and families. We’re incredibly grateful to partners like Waterbom, Blue Karma, Warung Hadsan, and a growing number of hotels, cafes, and restaurants that proudly stock and sell our teddies, hand fan and thoughtful gifts.

Do you run a shop, hotel, café, or know someone who does?
We’d love to explore a partnership with you! By stocking a small range of our merchandise, you’re not only supporting local craft and care — you’re directly funding food, medical help, and transport for those most in need.

May 2026 report:
– Care & Recovery Centre occupancy: 77%
– Accommodation and Meals provided to SoleBuddies and their families: 82 people
– 46 food parcels + 720 eggs. Enough to fuel a village full of nasi goreng, omelettes, and breakfast smiles. (Talk about cracking impact!)
– 8,830 KM travelled. That’s the Bali version of a round trip to Australia — we wish we could collect air miles!

However you choose to help, know that you’re bringing hope, dignity, and care to Bali’s most vulnerable.
