Causes Details

The 6th of October 2019, a tragic fire took place at Utopia Homestay, Gili Air. In the blink of an eye, two bungalows burned down to the ground, and a third one lost the roof. 

After fighting 5 meters tall flames for 2 hours, the Gili Air Community finally managed to get the fire under control and stop the flames from causing any more harm. Expats and families lost their homes, and Murtini, Pak Saban & Sibenk are all left with the ashes of the Utopia Bungalows. 

As a Gili Community, it’s our wish to support and help, when tragic events happen, and when the local people are in need of help. We are sad to see the wonderful Utopia Homestay suffer from this horrible fire, and we therefore wish to help them rebuild what was lost.

UPDATE: Gili Auction – Save Utopia!

On the 15th of October 2019, an auction took place on Gili Air to help save Utopia. We were so thankful to all the beautiful Gili Islands who showed up to support our cause of helping Utopia. With the help and support from businesses all over Gili Air and Gili Trawangan, we managed to auction their offers and raise more than 30.000.000 IDR. Thank you all!

Alone we are strong – together we are stronger.
