Embark on an extraordinary adventure with Freedom Summit III, inspired by the resilience of the groundbreaking mental health mountaineering expedition “Freedom Summit” in October 2021. Faced with unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, the summit persevered, breaking into smaller groups over five weekends to conquer the secret “Freedom Summit” trail of Bali's Mount Abang.
​
Developed by Right Reasons Funding in the impoverished Desa Ban region in Karangasem, the trail span creation took over 500 man-hours and offers breathtaking views. In an 8-hour extreme hiking journey, over 60 courageous individuals raised over 700 million IDR, enabling the securing of a Mental Health Care facility for Bali Bersama Bisa (BBB).
​
Since 2021, BBB has supported the repatriation of individuals struggling with mental health issues, facilitated community support groups, and since February 2024, is running a full mental health facility for the community by the community reaching over a thousand people per month with de-escalation services, repatriation, counseling, psychiatric care, outpatient programs and support groups.
YOUR CLIMB WILL BE SAVING LIVES!
