Sumba Hospitality Foundation

tourism can be a positive force in a poverty stricken community particularly when they are involved in the process. we want to assist in providing viable employment to sumba’s young inhabitants while also protecting the environment and their culture. our plan is to develop a self-sufficient hospitality school on the island of sumba that will provide vocational education for 40 students (20 boys and 20 girls) between the ages of 17 and 23 years old. the students will receive full boarding and medical care during this 1 one year program.
