Walking for a Cause: The Ovo-Walk and Its Impact
At Ovolo Hotels, community and compassion are central to everything we do, embodying our Do Good. Feel Good. ethos and our promise to be Champions of Change.
Each year, this commitment takes shape through the Ovo-Walk—an event that brings together team members, guests, and local communities to support the Bali Children’s Foundation. Far more than just a team-building activity, the Ovo-Walk showcases our dedication to creating meaningful change in the world around us.
Why We Walk
The Ovo-Walk embodies Ovolo’s philosophy of Do Good. Feel Good. This annual event highlights our commitment to giving back through corporate social responsibility, raising funds for local and international charities. In 2023, the Ovo-Walk raised AUD$24,000 for the Bali Children’s Foundation, supporting education for children in need.
Nicole Downs, Director of People & Performance at Ovolo Hotels, shared, ““The Ovo-Walk embodies our shared dedication to being Champions of Change in the communities we serve. It’s not just a walk—it’s about providing disadvantaged children and their communities with a brighter future.”
Past Successes and Impact
Over the past four years, the Ovo-Walk has generated substantial financial support for the Bali Children’s Foundation. The 2023 event raised funds that were directed toward improving classroom facilities at SDN 3 Sidetapa in North Bali, providing essential supplies, scholarships, and enhancing the learning environment for children in remote areas. Additionally, proceeds supported programs focused on literacy, numeracy, and English language education.
How the Funds Are Used
Donations raised during the Ovo-Walk are channelled into projects that create lasting, positive change. This year, the funds raised in 2023 were used to renovate classrooms with collapsing roofs and damaged walls, creating safer, more conducive environments for learning. As we continue to prioritize educational development, we aim to provide children with brighter futures through better infrastructure and resources.
With Ovo-Walk 2024 approaching, we remain dedicated to expanding our support for educational initiatives in Bali. This year’s goal is to raise $35,000, which will further improve access to education and enhance learning conditions for children in need.
At Ovolo, we believe that hospitality goes beyond our doors. Through the Ovo-Walk on October 26, spanning Australia, Bali, and Hong Kong, we’re walking together toward a better future, one step at a time.
We invite you to join the walk or donate to help us reach our 2024 fundraising goal of AUD$35k.
