Malaria Prevention and Treatment

Malaria continues to be one of Sumba's greatest health challenges but we have made huge strides in almost eradicating its presence in key areas. The Sumba Foundation continues to stand at the forefront of prevention and treatment, delivering comprehensive programs that have dramatically reduced both the incidence and impact of this disease in the communities we serve.

Transforming Lives Through Clean Water

Clean water is the foundation of health, education, and wellbeing. Through our water initiatives, we ensure that communities across East & West Sumba have consistent access to safe drinking water — transforming daily life and creating lasting change. Our easy to access water stations drastically supports hydration, hygiene, and overall happiness in local villages.

Building Brighter Futures Through Education

We are dedicated to transforming lives through education. In regions where access to quality learning remains limited, our programs open doors of opportunity, equipping children with the knowledge and confidence to build a brighter future, one that would be impossible without our incredible Sumba Foundation teachers.
