4) The Ganesha Foundation

http://www.ganeshafoundation.org

The Ganesha Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit charity whose purpose is to help children receive a basic secular education in Bali, Indonesia.  Although the Indonesian government offers free education up to sixth grade level, some Balinese live too far from government schools or can not afford to pay for the cost of lunches.  Many families in rural Bali are too poor to be able to afford even these nominal costs.  It is impossible for these children to escape the cycle of poverty without this basic education.
