Nihi Sumba Resort
Helping the Local Community
Nihi Sumba Island provides much needed employment on Sumba, and through the generous support of Chris Burch, owner of Nihi Sumba Resort, all administrative costs of the Sumba Foundation have been covered, allowing 100 percent of donations to go directly to the many Sumba Foundation projects that are benefitting the Sumbanese community.
Guests Play an Important Role
Since 2001, guests at the resort have been a driving force behind the radical improvements that have gone on to touch the lives of countless Sumbanese.
With the guests’ help, the Sumba Foundation has been able to provide accessible potable water, mosquito nets, medical clinics, and relief aid in times of dire need. The foundation also has been improving local primary schools, providing farming assistance, and offering economic opportunities to people in need.
