Sumba is ranked as the 4th poorest province in Indonesia.
In Indonesia, only 70.71% of the country’s population has access to drinking water suitable for consumption, leaving 29.29% (approximately 87 million) people dependent on unsafe water sources.
As one of Sumba’s pioneering resorts, built on the principles of slow travel and intentionality, our long-term vision is rooted in
giving back to the island that has become our paradise home.
Our Water Facilities Programme addresses current water challenges through the construction of sustainable hygienic water infrastructures, namely deep-drilled wells, toilets and wash stations, that will provide permanent access to clean water in local schools, breaking the cycle of water scarcity and its cascading effects on health, education, and economic welfare.
1. Deep-drilled wells (80 meters) accessing clean groundwater
2. Dynamic pump systems for ease and convenience
3. Community training on maintenance and repair
4. Water storage tanks (approximately 5,000 liters per site)
5. The installation of toilets & wash stations
Through this programme, we strive to:
1. Establish reliable, year-round water facilitations in water-scarce areas surrounding our resort in West Sumba
2. Improve the livelihood of the local children and their families through the building of these water facilities
3. Help in solving common yet serious clean water issues in West Sumba one step at a time
By donating to this Programme, you will help in the building and construction of these foundational infrastructures
of deep-drilled wells, wash stations and toilets within schools surrounding our resort.
Debit card, credit card and PayPal donations are accepted.
