Sponsor a student
Change a life

At Sumba Hospitality Foundation dreams come true. Your donations make that possible. Why don’t you start sponsoring a student today?

A full sponsorship (USD$ 5000) covers all expenses for a student over the period of 1,5 years and includes education, uniform, school supplies, room and board, internship, and basic medical care.

In return for your extraordinary generosity, we will provide you with personal updates and pictures throughout the year allowing you to track the student’s process.

Donate as a company or institution

At SHF, we believe in trust-based philanthropy to build long-term relationships with partners who believe in our work.

Leave a lasting impact as our guest

The Sumba Hospitality Foundation runs 2 projects that serve as the real-world training for our students. Firstly we have our hotel “Maringi Sumba” and secondly a restaurant “Makan Dulu”.

Why not plan your next holiday in Sumba?

Eating at Makan Dulu is a unique culinary experience and a great way to support the Sumba Hospitality Foundation. Our students will be happy to serve you. Without any doubt, this is the most delicious way of donating.
