About YAYASAN BALI PEDULI 

BALI PEDULI was formed by a group of concerned Bali residents under the guidance of Dr. Steve Wignall MD. Dr. Wignall is an HIV physician and clinical researcher; National Policy Advisor for M2M HIV policy to the Indonesian National AIDS Commission and Senior Medical Advisor to the Clinton Foundation's efforts to increase access to treatment for HIV+ people in Papua Province. In February 2013, the Government of Indonesia approved YAYASAN BALI PEDULI as a legal charity. 

BALI PEDULI has been funded to date by generous private contributions, and grants from AusAID, AmFar (NYC), Mel Wolf Foundation (US) and in-kind lab equipment from Allere Corporation. The Ministry of Health of Indonesia provides free Anti-Retroviral drugs to Bali Peduli.

Donations are welcome and needed to assist in our ongoing work.
