In the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.

SolarBuddy Lights for Rural Children
The SolarBuddy Program delivers solar-powered lamps to children and schools in villages with no electricity. These small lights illuminate homes, pathways, and classrooms—improving safety, education, and dignity. In the dark corners of Sumba, light changes everything.

Rumah Kambera Medical Field Base Camp
In the heart of East Sumba stands Rumah Kambera—our field base, warehouse, patient center, coordination hub, and training ground. From here, we launch missions that bring health, water, food, and dignity to isolated villages. This is where every solution begins.
Nutrition and Food for Remote Villages
The Nutrition and Food Program helps rural families access better food, grow home gardens, and improve their health. Linked to clean water, it tackles malnutrition and supports children’s development. In ultra-rural areas, food is not a given; it’s a survival challenge we face together.
