Sumba Hospitality Foundation believes that all young people should get an opportunity in life to grow and make a better future for themselves.
Sumba is a beautiful, friendly island with a highly distinctive culture, which is slowly developing into a tourism destination.
By offering vocational education in hospitality we can provide young Sumbanese people with the skills they need to create employment opportunities on the island.
Our project aims to:
Sumba Hospitality Foundation believes that education is the best prevention against child labour, prostitution and human trafficking on the island of Sumba.
We want to give equal access to education and do not discriminate based on religious beliefs or tribal associations. We hope to develop our students’ ability to communicate in English, to solve problems and apply critical thinking methods in the process, while also teaching them a wide range of technical skills needed in their chosen specialisation.

We kicked off the month with Christmas songs echoing throughout the campus; we all worked together to transform our school into a festive wonderland for our annual Christmas party.
