Welcome from the President
Welcome all to Rotary Club of Bali Ubud Sunset
I am German, 67 years old, retired and living in Bali for a couple of years. I love the wonderful Indonesian island and people. I am President of Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset [RCBUS].
RCBUS is a club that is between small and midsize. We are a very active club with a lot of activities and interesting projects supported, in part, by other NGOs and Rotary Clubs. Our partner clubs are located in Germany, Australia and the USA. These clubs are only one success factor for our projects.
RCBUS has great members – locals and expats in a good mixture.
If you are interested in meeting us and supporting our projects, please let us know. You can attend one or more of our meetings to see what a welcoming group we are. RCBUS is always open for new ideas and your feedback. This makes us more successful.

The Balinese need your help!
Our main projects are:
Water Project
For almost two decades RCBUS has been involved in water projects in East Bali. RCBUS helps to develop solutions to the problem of inaccessible water supplies by designing a water system that will bring spring water directly to the villagers. We install water tanks directly in front of family houses.
Sewing for Living Project
RCBUS is teaching local women to sew and crochet. It is important for local women to make their own money, not only for themselves, but to enable each of them to support her entire family. We get the yarn donated from our partner clubs and sell the items in Bali and also in Europe.
Environmental project in Kalimantan
Goals of the project in Kalimantan are preservation of tropical rain forests, reduction exchange of CO2 / carbon, and protection of the habitat for humans and animals. One focus is protection the remaining, endangered Bornean orangutans. We do this with other NGO’s in Germany and Indonesia. Currently we are responsible for around 80,000 ha forest. Empowering the Dajak villages is an important part of the project.
Education Project
A mobile library, managed by our Rotaract club, is a RCBUS project initiative where RCBUS assists with funding boxes of new books for the school libraries along with paper and pencils for under-equipped schools.
Health Project
In close cooperation with JFF [John Fawcett Foundation] we do eye treatment and surgery in villages in Bali. JFF goes directly in the villages with a mobile bus equipped to perform eye surgery. RCBUS donates medicine and glasses. This is a two day event. The second day involves examinations and treatment in the schools.
