For over five years, East Sumba has been battling a relentless pest infestation that devastates crops and poses severe threats to human health, psychological well-being, and environmental integrity. This crisis demands immediate, sustainable solutions to protect the affected communities and restore ecological balance.
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.
