Since 2009, Access Life INT’L has been dedicated to providING hope and care to people with disabilities and to providING clean water to villages and communities.

Our Mission:

Access Life International, Inc. exists to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities throughout the developing world. Access Life will provide tools of access for appropriate distribution and training to individuals with a disability, in order to enable them to participate in social and community life.  In addition to this, we are creating clean water systems that will provide drinking water to people right where they live.

Our strategy:

Access Life International is currently involved in three initiatives on the islands of Bali and Lombok in Indonesia:

Mobility

Helping disabled people out of the shadows. People with disabilities are not only the most deprived human beings in the developing world, they are also the most neglected. It is important to acknowledge that more than 600 million people in the world live with some form of disability. More than 400 million of them live in developing countries, often amidst poverty, isolation and despair. Not only are they, typically, the poorest of the poor, but they also need more money and help than able-bodied people to overcome their handicaps, and attempt to live normal lives.

Clean Water

Indonesia is in a state of water crisis. We are also partnering with local teams in the installation of clean water systems in villages that do not have access to clean and safe water.

The vast majority of Indonesia’s 220 million people still lack access to an improved water source. More than one hundred thousand children under the age of five die every year in Indonesia as a result of intestinal illness.

As Indonesia’s population grows exponentially, the burden on existing fresh water sources increases proportionately. If current trends continue, Indonesia is headed for crisis. ALI is committed to making a difference.

Twelve Values Program 

Indonesia has 786 distinct ethnic groups, 707 living languages, and 6 recognized religions.  Indonesians make their homes anywhere from remote villages to major urban cities spread across 6,000 inhabitable islands.   As Indonesia continues to develop more infrastructure, it naturally allows these different ethnic groups, once isolated and naturally distanced from one another, to now interact with their diverse Indonesian neighbors.

In recent years, people from all various backgrounds must wrestle through how to work and live in community and in harmony together.  This creates a great need to help young people learn how to interact well with others from different cultures.

The 12 Values program was designed specifically for Indonesian youth in order to promote peace and unity amongst Indonesians from diverse backgrounds, ethnic groups, religions, socioeconomic statuses, and genders. The program uses games, activities, and age-appropriate lessons to engage and teach youth the importance of valuing all people, no matter their differences. 

In addition to the 12 Values program, we also provide free English language lessons to the participating students in these villages. This allows our teams to maintain an ongoing connection with the participants long after the program concludes, which increases opportunities to help students apply the learned values. Through this program, we have been privileged to build deeper relationships in several communities, not only with the youth, but with their families as well.
