Making a difference one project at a time
Our Mission is to bring moments of happiness to people in need in Bali by giving them hope and showing them that they are not alone - that we are here to support them.
We want to not only share our own time, money and knowledge with others, but also show more people that they too have enough - enough to share.
We aim to achieve this goal by motivating as many people as possible to donate and share - even if it is just a little of what they have - by being a Foundation that everyone can wholeheartedly trust. A foundation where we personally guarantee that not a single donated penny will be lost along the way.

Who We Are & How it All Started
The Happiness Foundation was founded in 2023 by Tatjana as a gift to the community on her 5th anniversary of living in Bali. Deeply touched by the warm welcome she received, she felt a strong desire to give back.
With the invaluable support of her local foundation partner Atha, Tatjana established the Happiness Foundation, which is now officially registered as an NGO in both Indonesia and Germany.

what inspires us
what motivates us
The families and communities we work with inspire us every day. Their smiles and resilience, even in the face of tough times, deeply touch our hearts. Witnessing how they navigate challenges motivates us to work tirelessly to improve their lives a little more each day.
We are motivated by the incredible impact that small acts of kindness can have on people’s lives. We are driven by our desire to spread happiness and create opportunities for everyone. It is simply beautiful to witness how a little bit of help can go such a long way.
How to Get Involved
If you are in Bali, the best way to get involved is by joining our Community Kitchen, held every 2nd and 4th Sunday or volunteering at our English classes, held every 1st and 3rd Saturday in Uluwatu. It is a great opportunity to donate your time, connect with like-minded people and make a real difference.
If you are not in Bali but still want to contribute, please contact us to explore other ways to support our mission from afar - such as organizing a local fundraiser or offering your services remotely.
Together, we can spread happiness and create positive change in the community

Giving Back to the Island of Bali
Our founder Tatjana covers all of the administrative and operational expenses, guaranteeing that 100% of your donations go directly to charity. This ensures that every contribution you make supports those who need it most and their associated projects.
By joining forces, we can make a lasting difference. Whether through volunteering, donating or spreading awareness - your involvement truly matters. Together we have the power to uplift those in need. Every small act of kindness adds up.
Let's be the change together!
Bali’s beauty, culture and people give us so much. However, it’s not just a place to enjoy and benefit from, but one we have a responsibility to care for. To keep the balance, we must also give back. We want Bali and the island’s unique spirit to thrive for generations to come.
Explore the Local Culture & Minimize Your Footprint
Exciting projects are on the horizon! We are thrilled to share our plans for future initiatives focused on enhancing waste management in the Bukit area and creating a space that fosters cultural exchange and a strong community spirit.
Stay tuned for more details as we move forward!
Happy Place - Community Center
At our future Happy Place - Community Center, we aim to create a welcoming space where tourists, expats and locals can connect while working together to empower underprivileged children. Through volunteer-driven activities, we hope to build a strong, supportive community that makes a lasting impact.
We also plan to offer engaging activities such as Balinese cooking classes, Indonesian language lessons and cultural workshops. All proceeds will support our ongoing projects.
Stay tuned for updates on how you can join us in celebrating and learning about Bali’s vibrant culture - while giving back!
Happy Recycling for a Cleaner Bali
Bali is dealing with a devastating waste management crisis.
We are currently in the process of teaming up with BUMdesa, Pecatu's local waste collection company, to support their efforts in launching a sustainable organic waste recycling program aimed at preserving the island’s beauty.
Separating organic waste, such as food scraps, from regular trash is not only vital for reducing waste, but also for decreasing methane emissions and lowering landfill fire risks.
We will share updates on this project soon! Together, we can take small steps toward a cleaner and greener Bali!
