e. Children with HIV/AIDS and Drugs addiction.  
    Data from the local institutions in 2009 there have been 133 children with HIV/AIDS and some of them are drugs user.
f. Child Street Beggars.
    Children are exploited to become beggars and the number is increased drastically for the last 2 decades from very poor areas in Bali, such as Munti village – Karangasem. These children do not go to school. Some of them work on the streets in Kuta and Legian where their parents work as well (based on data from I am an angel charity group in Kuta) 2/3 of Bali population is women and children. As citizens they have the right to receive freedom and enjoy the results of this nation’s development. Women who are abused cannot take care of her children well and abused children will not rise to be great potential future generation if we close our eyes and turn our back on this crucial issue.

    Responding to this calling, Mercy Indonesia Bali use its initiative right as Indonesian to plan, organize, and create the mission to build a Refuge for women which we name House Of Mercy Development Center as a tool for helping women and giving them better future.
