“There is so much to conserve here on Sumba: from unspoiled nature, over wildlife to the scarce water supplies. Everything we do is for and together with the local community. This way they directly benefit. In the long term, we empower them through education and awareness.

These social projects are investments in Sumba and its youth, contributing to sustainable long-term tourism.”
