Community Empowerment in Bali: The Maju Foundation's Mission

We partner with local rescue organisations to provide love, care and a second chance to abandoned and abused dogs in Bali, with a strong focus on community support.

Meet Ella, our second rescue, who has become a cherished member of our team. For the first five years of her life, Ella was confined to a cage and used solely for breeding. When she could no longer produce puppies, she was discarded on the streets. Weak, suffering from a severe blood infection and nearly bald, Ella was in desperate need of help. With gentle care and patience, our team at Maju helped her heal, body and soul. Today, she’s a vibrant, happy companion who brings joy to our office every day. 

Our dream is to build a safe, healing sanctuary between Ubud and Kintamani, creating a peaceful haven where dogs like Ella can recover, thrive and feel loved. We're committed to transforming their lives and nurturing their spirits, one dog rescue at a time.

At the Maju Foundation, our mission goes beyond animal welfare and dog rescue; we are dedicated to providing community support and uplifting our local community in Ubud.

We believe in the power of hospitality and caring and we aim to bring that spirit directly into the heart of the community. Through locally driven projects, we’re working to improve daily life, support small businesses and provide training and assistance to help local people thrive.  

By sharing our knowledge and resources, especially in hospitality and community care, we hope to create opportunities for sustainable growth and empower the next generation to succeed right here in their own village.  

Together, we’re building a stronger community; one meaningful connection at a time.
