Sumba holds a special place in my heart and playing a part in the positive change in the lives of the Sumbanese people in health and economics over the last 20 years lead by the Sumba Foundation is very rewarding. They call Sumba “The Forgotten Island” and that it has been in Indonesia. The Sumba Foundation and the Nihi Sumba model, that of a non-profit working side by side with a for-profit business, each with its own role to play in to alleviate poverty in the region, was to be the economic engine of the Island. Hundreds of jobs were created in and outside of the resort. Without that employment there would have been no hope of lifting the community out of the harsh conditions they were living under. 2023 its a very different story, but the mission continues and education of the youth plays a big part! Love my connection to the Sumbanese and Sumba. JC https://sumbafoundation.org/ https://sumbafoundation.org/nihi-sumba/ Since the beginning of the Sumba Foundation, water, health, education, nutrition and economic projects have grown to cover 575 sq kms (359 miles) in West Sumba and the foundation has flourished and changed the lives of tens of thousands of people. Life is now better for the 45,000 people every day with many water, health, nutrition, education and economic initiatives. @sumbafoundation @childsphotos @nihi #childsphotos #nihisumba #nihigram #nihi2022 #nihi #nihiwatu #indonesia #sumbafoundation #education #sumba (at Sumba Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CobCssvvKUG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
