Sumba Foundation 2014 Documentary

Описание: This is the story of the remarkable work of the Sumba Foundation, a US based nonprofit, nongovernmental, 501c3 public charity dedicated to lessening the consequences of poverty on the remote Indonesian island of Sumba.

The Sumba Foundation provides humanitarian aid by fostering village-based projects that impact health (including access and malaria control), education, water and income-generation, while preserving and respecting the fragile culture and traditions of the Sumbanese people.

Since its inception, water, health, education and economic projects have grown to cover a 164 square kilometer(101 miles) area in West Sumba. Some key highlights of our work to date include:

Five health clinics built and staffed by the Foundation
Malaria infection rates reduced by 85%
More than 60 water wells and 240 water stations developed
16 primary schools supplied with water, toilets, tables, chairs, library books and supplies

Today, the Sumba Foundation clinics provide reliable healthcare to over 20,000 people. There is still much to be done, but the solutions to the needs of the people of Sumba are not complicated.
