recap 2021

The Freedom Summit was a mountaineering expedition for Mental Health in October 2021 that faced many challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic and travel restrictions. The island of Bali entered PPKM, which is a state of lockdown and the Freedom Summit had to be broken up into smaller groups spanning nearly 5 weekends of mountain climbing.

The Freedom Summit trail was developed out of the Desa Ban region of Karang asem. This is the most impoverished area of Bali, seldom seen by tourists and facing challenges in securing some of human life’s necessities of food and water. The trail took over 500-man hours to complete and is absolutely stunning!

Over 60 brave souls’ put their lives on the line in an 8 hour extreme hiking journey up and over Bali’s Mount Abang. Collectively they raised over 700 million IDR that allowed Bali Bersama Bisa to launch the currently operational Mental Health Care facility!

Bali Bersama Bisa or BBB is the organization behind LISA (Love Inside Suicide Awareness) Suicide prevention hotline.
