Reshaping Minds on Dyslexia

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality educational learning programs for disadvantaged children across Indonesia. 

We envision an inclusive future where every child with learning difficulties, including dyslexia, has the opportunity to learn without barriers and reach their full potential.

    Mission

    At the Bali Dyslexia Foundation, our mission is to include the excluded by providing accessible, inclusive education to underprivileged children across Indonesia. Through early dyslexia screening, teacher training, community outreach, and targeted literacy interventions, we empower children to realize their full potential, regardless of their background or learning ability.

    Vision

    We envision an Indonesia in which every child learns in a supportive environment, a future where neurodiversity is not just accepted, but celebrated

    At BDF, we believe literacy is a fundamental right, not a privilege. We are committed to building innovative partnerships, fostering cross-cultural collaboration, and delivering sustainable education screenings until every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive, because no child should be left behind

    Target

    The Bali Dyslexia Foundation targets systemic change in inclusive education across Indonesia. To date, we have delivered teacher training programs in over 225 local government schools, empowering 1,987 teachers with practical tools to support neurodivergent learners. As a direct result, our reach now extends to over 8,560 Balinese children, many of whom are receiving literacy support tailored to their learning needs for the first time. Our goal is to improve on these statistics until no child is left behind.

  • Intervention

    At BDF, our intervention programs provide targeted, multisensory literacy support for local children identified as dyslexic or struggling readers. Using evidence-based methods, our trained educators deliver small-group sessions that focus on phonics, decoding, comprehension, and confidence-building. These interventions are tailored to each child's unique learning profile, offering a second chance at literacy success. Our approach not only improves reading scores but also transforms how children see themselves, as capable and full of potential.
