Sumba is part of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), which is made up of over 550 islands and is considered one of Indonesia’s most impoverished and underdeveloped regions. Most homes typically do not have electricity, running water, or adequate sanitation. People must haul water from long distances and many children lack the opportunity to have early childhood education or even go beyond primary school. These boys and girls have few opportunities to explore other options for their lives.
