The school we built with our own hands, in Mbinudita, East Sumba. It now has more than 120 students aged 7 to 13. A pharaonic project that we successfully carried out in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

On these "Picture of the Day", we show you the school we built in 2020 and 2021 in Sumba East. In the beginning, there were three classes and 60 students. Today in February 2023, there are five classes and over 120 students.

This school is an integral part of the #rebuildmbinudita project, which consists of helping an entire rural community - more than 270 families, more than 2500 people - to have a better life.

This school, Kawan Baik and Fair Future Foundations built it in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, with materials that, for the most part, were delivered from Surabaya (more than 1500 kilometres away). It took almost two years of working in difficult conditions for all of us, for the local families to realize this. To build such a building without water, without electricity, without a road leading to the site.

Mbinudita? It is the name of a village in the heart of one of the most complicated regions in terms of access to water, food and medical care. Here, before our "arrival," there was no school, now there is one, the biggest and most beautiful of all in the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur, of East Sumba (Sumba Timur). Here, families now have access to toilets, drinking water, etc.
