Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA)

Who we are

Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA) is a nonprofit organization registered in Indonesia and the US, and based in Bali.  BAWA’s vision is for all of Bali’s villages to be their own animal sanctuaries, where all beings are treated with compassion and respect. BAWA works every day to save, protect and improve the lives of all animals in Bali and beyond. 

BAWA provides numerous programs from humane dog population management and disease control to extensive education and advocacy programs for sustainable improvement in animal welfare.  BAWA works directly to relieve the suffering of animals by providing emergency rescue, food and medication, and rehabilitation and adoption. These programs are supported by educational outreach to schools, universities and villages, as well as individuals.
