Mbinudita

Rebuild Mbinudita: A Holistic Transformation for Sustainable Growth.
Rebuild Mbinudita is more than a project—it’s a movement to transform the lives of nearly 300 families and over 2,800 individuals in this ultra-rural village of East Sumba. What began as an effort to rebuild a school has blossomed into a comprehensive initiative addressing education, clean water, healthcare, nutrition, and economic empowerment. In collaboration with the resilient villagers, the Foundation has created access to safe and clean water, established organic gardens for better nutrition, and provided essential healthcare through the innovative Primary Medical Care program. With eight Kawan Sehat Health Agents trained in Mbinudita, we’ve built not just facilities but a foundation for healthier, more self-reliant lives. This initiative also empowers women, enhances income opportunities, and fosters independence. It has brought access to basic needs that once seemed unattainable for children, vulnerable individuals, and pregnant women. The program continues to evolve, serving as a “living laboratory” for innovation, compassion, and sustainable impact. Rebuild Mbinudita exemplifies what’s possible when a vision of holistic development meets a community’s determination. It’s not just rebuilding; it’s reimagining futures, offering real solutions, and creating lasting change. Together, we are reshaping what it means to thrive in one of the most underserved areas. Join us in building a brighter tomorrow for Mbinudita.
