Helping Bali's poorest orphans was not on Janine Hall's high-flying corporate career plan while she worked with international brands like Top Shop, Selfridges and Air New Zealand.
The New Zealand-born 40-year-old started life as an orphan herself, spending six months in an Auckland foster home before she was taken in by her adoptive parents.
A "birthplace lottery" win of growing up in New Zealand was a key factor in her decision to set up the Creating Futures Foundation.

"I had so many opportunities afforded me like a wonderful education and spending nearly every weekend at our family bach, so it struck a chord in my heart when I came to Bali and saw the bleak future of orphans here and the fact that 80 per cent actually had parents," she said.
