Grand Hyatt Bali Row for R.O.L.E Charity Paddle

On Saturday, 25 April 2026, Row for R.O.L.E returned for its fifth year, continuing its mission to support education, women’s empowerment, and environmental initiatives in Bali. Hosted by Grand Hyatt Bali, Hyatt Regency Bali, and Andaz Bali in collaboration with the R.O.L.E Foundation, the event brought together paddlers for a 13-kilometer canoe journey from beautiful Sanur Beach at Hyatt Regency Bali to the longest beachshore in Nusa Dua at Grand Hyatt Bali.

With 88 paddlers competing across single, double, and paddle board divisions, the event successfully raised IDR 846.299.154 (USD 48.995).

Paddling with Purpose

Year by year, Row for R.O.L.E carries the same mission: “paddling with purpose.” Every supporter helps continue the community movement for vocational education, women’s empowerment, and environmental initiatives in Bali.

Across Indonesia, hundreds of thousands of young women possess the intelligence, skills, and motivation to live purposeful lives. Yet many remain trapped in cycles of poverty, without access to the facilities and opportunities they deserve. To help these women chase their dreams, our mission is to lift them up. Hyatt proudly supports the Bali WISE program by the R.O.L.E. Foundation, building their potential so they can support their families, gain financial independence, and create a ripple effect of empowerment for future generations.

Through the Bali WISE program, the R.O.L.E. Foundation selects talented young women from schools across Indonesia and brings them to Bali for six months of intensive training. Beyond essentials such as accommodation, food, and a living allowance, the program provides them with hospitality and tourism training, English language development, and practical skills, opening doors to brighter futures within the hospitality sector.

Over 4 billion Rupiah has been raised in the past four years, transforming the lives of nearly 400 young women. Together, we are rewriting stories of struggle into stories of strength, independence, and opportunity.

Shop for a Cause

This year, Row for R.O.L.E 5.0 also launched an online auction. The auction featured a curated selection of experiences and offerings, including luxury resort stays, dining experiences at Bali’s most celebrated restaurants, wellness and spa treatments designed for rest and rejuvenation, and curated activities and adventures across the island. This initiative offers a chance to make a meaningful impact, with proceeds supporting young women from underserved communities by equipping them with valuable skills in hospitality and digital marketing.

To create greater impact and raise awareness of support, guests were invited to join both the race and the auction, demonstrating that everyone shared in the excitement of the event.

Commitment to Care

Now in its fifth year, Grand Hyatt Bali, Hyatt Regency Bali, and Andaz Bali are proud to be part of Row for R.O.L.E, aligning with Hyatt’s World of Care commitment to advancing care for the planet, people, and responsible business. At Hyatt, we share a simple but powerful purpose: we care for people so they can be their best.
