| About Crisis Care Foundation |
|
| The Crisis Care Foundation operates a small clinic in the village of Dusun Lebah, Kaliasem, (near Lovina) in North Bali. The clinic provides urgently needed free medical services to some of the poorest families in Northern Bali. The clinic is run by ’Mama Gloria’, who has dedicated her knowledge and time to supporting the local community for nearly eight years. The Foundation has a highly trained and well respected doctor on call, and will employ a resident doctor in October 2004. A Balinese Midwife assists with births as well as offering pre and postnatal care to hundreds of local women. Trauma and counseling support is available from a local welfare worker who works in conjunction with the clinic. A trained nursing aide is also employed.
Outreach services include home visits to those who are unable to go to the clinic, school support programs, AIDS counsellingl assistance, emergency aid with disasters such as the bombing in Kuta, landslides, fires, flooding and road traffic accidents, counselling for social needs, homelessness, family support, child abuse, provision of medical equipment for other clinics in need and liaison with Government and non Government agencies when needed.
Crisis Care has a good relationship with the local Government puskesmas whose staff call in regularly to offer their support and the use of their ambulance when needed. Many other Government Departments support the aid and assistance programs which the Foundation has implemented.
The Crisis Care Foundation urgently needs sustainable funding to support the purchase of medicines and to cover the salaries of the doctor and support staff. Please contact the Foundation if you are interested in donating to this invaluable service.

| The Crisis Care Foundation’s immediate needs wish list |
|
|
| Because the Crisis Care Foundation offers its services free of charge to people in need, one of the great challenges faced by the Foundation is the funds needed for paying staff and other basic monthly overheads to keep the project alive.
The basic overhead costs for running the clinic are Rp 7,500,000 (US$850) per month. To date the Foundation has received pledges of Rp 2,000,000 (US$225) per month, and is seeking another Rp 5,500,000 (US$625) per month to cover the balance of funds needed for this.
Following is list of urgently needed items for the clinic’s community center development. If you are able to help with any of these please contact the Foundation. Thank you so much for any support you are able to give.

| Community Center and Kitchen Garden Proposal |
|
|
| Crisis Care Foundation purchased land in 2001, with the intention of building a community center where the local community can meet and participate in workshops and training of new life skills.
Funding has been raised for this pilot program to begin the building of the Centre. However, further support is required to fund the completion of the roof as well as to contribute towards general infrastructure and material costs.
The creation of Kitchen Gardens is a 5-year plan; this project will be tailored to the specific needs of local indigenous families in this area, which number around 8,000 people.
CCF believes that women are the key to re-introducing essential gardening skills, and for passing on that knowledge to their children. For an initial pilot plot CCF would like to develop a Medicinal Garden, using indigenous plants previously used by the Balinese. The knowledge of how to use these plants as traditional remedies will be a valuable resource for the local community.
Crisis Care has allocated approximately 6.5 are from the available site to be utilized as a vegetable growing area for the poorest families in the community who are without adequate land on which to grow food for their own use. The land is to be divided into plots and each family will be encouraged to grow a crop of vegetables suited to the nutritional needs of their families. As the gardens develop, vegetables will also be used to supply a local ‘Soup Kitchen’ to supplement the diets of children in the community who currently suffer from high levels of malnutrition and vitamin deficiency.
