The Tessa Brooks Learning Center

Bali, Indonesia

Karmagawa is a new social charity community determined to make a better world for people and animals alike. Since 2018, they have donated $6+ million to 65 charities. Their goal is to build 1,000 schools around the world, one community at a time, as children deserve the best education possible as they truly are our future. They fund amazing charities like Bali Children’s Project, a charity that helps children escape poverty through education.

To date, Karmagwa has funded 44 projects in Bali: kickstarting a renovations program, supplying 250 food packages to hungry families during the pandemic, sponsoring children for school and providing transport for children who walk hours to school.

This school created a new world of learning for 200 students on the north coast of Bali. Karmagawa and I transformed an old library into a new learning center, which is now filled with colorful, exciting books for the students.

Globally, 58% of children and adolescents are not achieving minimum proficiency levels in reading (UNESCO Institute for Statistics).
Most villagers in rural Bali are farmers and laborers, having little spare income for the village to run their schools. Schools lacked supplies, some young learners have never seen educational toys like wooden blocks and puzzles
24% of schools worldwide don’t have access to computers
Most students in rural Bali do not own a quality book at home.
175 MM children are not enrolled in pre-primary education (UNICEF, 2019).

There was a lot of renovations done to the school that helped make it feel and look so much better.

Working with kids and helping kids get a better education is something that I’ve always been very passionate about. This is just the beginning of a long journey that I’m very excited about!

I hope to partner with Karmagawa again to build more schools and create a better future for more children.
