Who We Are
Background

The 12th October 2002 was a black day in Bali. 202 innocent people, mainly young international tourists and Indonesians were killed and over 300 seriously injured by a wicked bomb attack outside popular nightclubs on Jalan Legian Kuta. The Balinese people and their many international friends are determined to never forget all those who so tragically lost their lives, the grieving families they left behind and the hundreds of people who were injured and may indeed always remain injured. As if to balance this outrage, Bali saw an unprecedented outpouring of love and help from around the world. Hospital workers, tourists, unending Balinese and international volunteers, government officials, embassy and consular staff worked tirelessly and together, often in inadequate and sometimes horrific conditions to relief human suffering. Looking to the future everyone who cares about Bali and its people is absolutely determined that something good must be made to come out of this terrible tragedy. The founders and members of YKIP (Yayasan Kemanusiaan Ibu Pertiwi or in English the Mother Earth Humanitarian Foundation) are among them and so have committed themselves to achieving this vital goal. The Foundation is based in Bali and therefore focused on Bali, but its work is permanently dedicated to the memory of all those people from every country who perished and the hundreds of people who were injured.
