ALL ABOUT US
FROM BERLIN TO BALI
What is POI?
POI – Part Of It – is an independent sustainability project based in Bali.
Our vision: to create tangible solutions that protect the environment, promote education, and generate new jobs.
We collaborate closely with local initiatives, communities, and government authorities. Our team brings expertise, heart, and dedication – to enable long-term, meaningful change.
Our Motivation
For years, Bali has struggled with waste, pollution, and a lack of proper disposal systems. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 intensified these issues — unemployment, hunger, and heavy reliance on tourism showed how urgently sustainable alternatives are needed.
How it all started
The idea for POI was born in 2020, out of a deep connection to Bali.
Many of us have visited the island over the years — for some, it has become a second home. What unites us is a shared desire to give something back.
What we focus on:
WASTE AND ENVIRONMENT
Waste is one of the most pressing issues in Bali.
Our focus includes:
- Reducing plastic and single-use materials
- Educational outreach in schools and communities
- Practical recycling systems tailored to local needs
Rather than burning waste, we develop alternative systems for sorting and reusing materials – together with the local population.
EDUCATION AND NEW PERSPECTIVES
Education is key to lasting change.
In Indonesia, public education often ends after grade 4 — we want to change that.
We support:
- School fees for children
- Adult education and training
- Environmental and technical education
- Career development in emerging sectors
Future Vision: Energy and Self-Sufficiency
We aim to build new economic structures — independent of tourism.
Planned initiatives:
- 2025: Aquaponics: integrated fish and vegetable farming
- 2026: Recycling and separation facility
- 2025: Solar energy projects
→ These create jobs, ensure food security, and protect natural resources.
Our Starting Point: Karangasem
We begin locally — in a remote region in East Bali.
In 2025, we’ll launch our first aquaponics system, followed by a waste sorting and recycling facility in the following year.
Once these are established, we aim to expand to other regions.
❤️ Thank You!
The people of Bali have welcomed our work with gratitude and openness.
Many have lost a great deal in recent years — and are ready to embrace change.
POI is a true team effort — powered by vision, collaboration, and many small but meaningful steps.
Thank you to everyone supporting us — and to our amazing team!
