chanceforchange e.V. is a non-profit association in Seeshaupt, initiated in Bali by the founding couple Dian and Ernst Flügel, see picture, in COVID-19 times, with a focus on 'helping people to help themselves' in Indonesia. There and in Germany we work for change and sustainability issues.

Change must start in the West. Dian and Ernst Flügel see the enormous imbalance in the world every day in Bali. It is visible, for example, through the rubbish - everywhere - and tangible through the extreme dependence of many people on us.

During the pandemic (2020-2022), chanceforchange supported needy families between 3 and 12 months from Bali and also migrants in Bali financially or with food.

We are guided by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. They provide the framework for our projects for a socially, economically and ecologically sustainable development of the world.

We operate in the southwest of the island and in central Bali in the Gianyar region.

Since March 2022, tourism has slowly but surely returned and we are focusing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals: No Poverty, Health and Wellbeing, Partnerships to Achieve the Goals, Sustainable Consumption/Production and Climate Change Mitigation through Rainforest Conservation in the Long Sam area in East Kalimantan/ Indonesia.

All seven founding members of chanceforchange e.V. in Seeshaupt/ Bavaria work on a voluntary basis and all administrative costs incurred are borne by the founding members.
