Overview
The Sumba Hospitality Foundation (‘SHF’) is a non-profit organization located in Sumba, a pristine but underprivileged island in eastern Indonesia (NTT province). The main mission of SHF is to drive a sustainable tourism development for the Indonesian island of Sumba by means of empowering local, disadvantaged youth. To achieve this mission, the Foundation manages a full boarding hospitality and permaculture school for underprivileged youth, as well as an exclusive eco-resort called Maringi (5 bamboo pavilions, 4 deluxe villas, pool and spa). The school and the eco-resort provide our sixty students with a well-rounded vocational education, focusing on practical and soft skills.
