Fresh, clean water from the wells in the valley up to the villages on the hills with the unlimited power of the sun! Only in the valley, there is water - but it is too dangerous to settle there - and on the hills where the people and animals live, it's not raining. Girls and women should no longer haul up water canisters livelong in scorching heat: Water for Sumba with dignity!

Clean water is a human right! 18 wells we have built, but the girls and women in Sumba have better things to do than dragging the water upwards the hills! Let us now finish our job in Sumba! |
Sumba is one of the most neglected islands in Eastern Indonesia. Rather than learn the unique culture, children are struggling with water canisters. The Sumba sun provides enough energy for freshly pumped water up to the villages! |
The Association Waru Wora (Germany) and the Foundation of HumanKind Foundation Sunda Islands (Indonesia) are engaged for a better life in Sumba. Help us to help with membership fees, donations and sponsor-ships! |
The Waru Wora Association helps to improve the livelihoods of the people of Sumba, an island in Eastern Indonesia, especially with regard to their sustainable water supply. The idea for all that follows on this homepage has been born at a well near Wora Waru, a small village in the West of Sumba, by women in scorching midday sun, and not on a desk in an Berlin air-conditioned office under a Artemide Tizio lamp! In the current projects the Association Waru Wora will realize water pump supply directly to the higher situated villages of the island in an environmentally friendly manner, with the power of the sun, and no longer on the backs of the people, especially the young and elderly women.
In the village of „Waru Wora", which is eponymous for the association, stands for a representative number of similarly situated villages in Sumba. Our direct and only partner in Indonesia is the Waru Wora Foundation. The fourteenth funded well under construction these days. No public institution, no NGO, no selfmade "experts" is involved! The German Association and the Indonesian foundation have been based on the ideas of the groups from the villages of Sumba and on the recommendation of the shamans and other decision-makers. What really counts is to invest personal time, to use his own money and act primarily on the concrete ideas of competent people in the target area.
