A movie about MbinuDita
Where is MbinuDita school?
Mbinundita - Where we are rebuilding the new School for 65 kids.
But also the acquisition of school furniture (following the withdrawal of the group of local people who had committed to it), the painting of the walls to make them look pretty and allow the children to make frescoes, the change of solar panels (too cheap, which did not resist the climate) and finally to the creation of a water point for the nearly 200 families who live there and who have no direct access to a water source.

Rumah Kambera, the Foundation Base Camp in East Sumba
The foundation house in East Sumba … We started its renovation in mid-December 2020 and we will start working on it during the month of January.
Today, the Swiss foundation faces significant challenges in terms of engagement in the field:
- Providing medical care, drinking water, light to study, build schools and improve solutions for access to knowledge, and primary care.
- We are creating Rumah Kambera in this direction: To improve the living conditions of hundreds of thousands of families and children, living in rural areas of eastern Indonesia.

the This Rebuilding is made for generations of children in East Sumba
And now let’s give space to hope!
Hope? It is all of us who are in Sumba, on the site of the school that will live tomorrow. The hope is also that 75% of orders for reconstruction are placed with our suppliers. The hope is to know that by the end of October 2020 the new school will be built, more beautiful, and more solid than before and that the 65 children of the region will then be able to get there without having to walk for miles and miles. … Find out more here!
Dear friends, dear Kawan, dear families, how are you? Hope you are doing well and are happy!
As you now know since December 2019, the foundation has committed to rebuilding the school in Mbinu Dita which fell apart after a storm. Here we are a few months later, the project is progressing well but it has also changed a lot since the first estimate.
Actually, the initial plan was to “simply” reconstruct the two classrooms, a very simple structure with local materials. However, after several hours of discussion with local communities and the education department, we came to the conclusion that the needs were greater than that.
So we came back with a second project; a beautiful school, resistant, practical, and functional. Above all, we have added a 3rd classroom, which will allow 25 more children to attend school, as well as a so-called “multi-purpose” room. This space will serve as a homework room; given that they have no electricity in their villages and that night falls at 6 p.m., it is impossible for them to study after school. This space will also serve as an artistic centre and will be open to all the population of the surrounding villages to give courses, conferences, or even develop new economic projects.
However, after many discussions with local communities and the education department, we came to the conclusion that the needs were greater. Before the storm, this school consisted of two classrooms (1st and 2nd year), perched on the top of a hill. This school also has no water, no electricity. These children don’t have enough to eat and now, no more school!
This new project also, like the previous one, provides clean toilets with a septic tank, a workroom for teachers, photovoltaic panels which will supply the school with electricity as well as access to drinking water which will be harvested thanks to on the roofs of the school and which will accessible to all.
About the 3rd classroom, which will allow 25 more children to attend school, as well as a so-called multi-purpose room.

This space will also serve as an art centre and will be open to the entire population of the villages to give courses, conferences, and develop new projects.
Like the 1st project, it includes clean toilets, a workroom for teachers, photovoltaic panels to supply the school with electricity, access to drinking water which will be harvested thanks to the roof of the school. The water will be accessible to the whole population who do not have access to it. The order and on-site delivery phase have already started as you can see on this photo gallery. The building materials, the structure, the roof, and photovoltaic panels will arrive in Sumba around the 15th of September.

The people have absolutely no money to rebuild it. This small school structure was built because these kids live far too far from the nearest primary school, located more than 8 kilometres away on foot. The school before was very simple with split bamboo walls, black sand floors with a tin roof and reeds.
The site of Mbinu Dita on Google Map here if you want to look where it’s located.
FULL AHEAD!
The plans are completed, the construction of the chassis and the framework are completed. A company from Surabaya is in charge and operates its network of friends to help the foundation. Note that the owner of this civil engineering company is an extraordinary person, invested in the cause that we lead. It is a huge challenge for all of us to coordinate all this from our Base Camp in Denpasar and we no longer count the return trips, the meeting hours, the tens of thousands of WhatsApp messages exchanged via our dedicated group, which we named #RebuildMbinudita (#ReconstruireMbinudita). We have received lots of support form him to rebuild Mbinu Dita.
The first trucks will arrive at the Mbinu Dita site middle of September after a journey of nearly 2,000 kilometres by road and boat. It’s a hell of a trip and the transportation costs for us are significant. We could have done without it, but sadly we couldn’t find what we need to rebuild a school that will stand up to the familiar weather and weather of Sumba Island. It is also always astonishing to think that it is in the poorest regions that materials are the most expensive! Part of the reason is that Sumba is far from it all, I’ll let you go google map here and surely you’ll understand.
Thank you very much for your concrete help and your love, to offer to these kids and their teachers a new school.

Dec 14
Rebuild the School, Rebuild the Community, #RebuildMbinudita. At the end of 2019, strong winds knocked down the parallel classroom building of the Mbinudita school, the building flattened to the ground, books and all classrooms were wet. "Where will you go to school later?", said the children of Mbinudita seeing the collapsed school and picking up the rest of the books from the floor.
Kawan Baik Indonesia and Fair Future Foundation accompanied by the support of various partners from Archimetriz Bali, KP2S, Charis Sumba Foundation, working hand in hand to rebuild the school building. Parents of students, local residents, teachers, children also participate in the school construction process. Day, night, heat or rain did not dampen the enthusiasm in completing the school building process.
Now the school is here again, more beautiful, more solid than before. The wind and storms will no longer be able to tear it away, destroy it and the children of MbinuDita are safe.
Together, let's build schools, build villages, build the future like we rebuilt Mbinudita.

East Sumba, in the middle of the most beautiful place in the world, bit also the most inaccessible to build such a big building. We did it!

Throwback - Just over a year ago, the @kawanbaikindonesia and @fairfuturefoundation team visited Mbinu Dita Elementary School, in East Sumba. The purpose of this visit was to introduce the “Kawans” as part of a socio-educational and cultural project #sumbaphotostories.
The school was simple, made of bamboo, with no “soil”, only black sand and rocks. It didn’t resist the storm that came few weeks later. In December, it collapses. And that's when the #bangunmbinudita adventure begins.
When the new reached the Base Camp in Bali, the KBI and FFF teams reacted immediately. They contacted two great architects and humans being who didin't hesitate to help and to make this project become a reality; Dina and Klick from #Archimetriz.
After long months frozen in time due to the pandemic, construction was finally able to start in August and 3 months later, the school is there, solid and resistant!
It's about 90% complete and the teams from FFF, KBI and Archimetriz are on site right now to help with the finishing touches.
Thanks to all for your support ✨

Good morning from Mbinudita to everyone,
It's an other bright day here, and we are working to make the school of #RebuildMbinuDita ready as soon as possible.
Today we are waiting our architects, they are on their way from Bali, they will arrive around 5pm on site here. Klick and Dina from #archimetriz will give us some advices and help for the finition. We need to install electricity, rain water collection system and to move the huge orange 5'500 liter thank from it's temporary location to the definitive one.
Then, if raining, people from here will have some water. About the water, people are really struggling. No rain season, no water or very very few. Not enough to ensure an healthy life. This is actually the main topic when we talk with them: Water!
If anyone is ready to help us, you're more than welcome. Water for life!
Thank you for your time, your benevolence and interest.

"What is the biggest challenge about #bangunmbinudita project?"
It's in the middle of nowhere; among hundreds of hills, on top of the highest one. Remote from everything, we can only hear the sound of the wind, a lot of excitement and impatience too.
The team who's on-site for two weeks returns today, and a second-team will leave in a few days for the symbolic "handover" of the school to the mayor of Mbinu Dita and the community. The fantastic team who help us on-site for three months will return to Surabaya on November 21, the date on which the school will officially be finished!
Looking backward, everyone involved in this project will remember one essential thing, and probably the most beautiful one; the human adventure that it was and that it still is. Meet generous and selfless souls, willing to help and to get involved, from different fields and sometimes coming from unexpected places. And timeless moments of sharing, laughing and sometimes struggling, all together.
We are not stopping there, as you know. The needs are very significant in this area in terms of access to water, food, education and more.. this school is only the first step; many projects to come!
We all thank you for making change happen.

Nov 4
In the village of Mbinu Dita, a line forms around the principal well; horses and dogs join in, and all gather around one of the region's only water sources. When the water discharge runs out, the impatient horses drink from the ground in this mixture of water and mud.
In the queue, while waiting for the water to come out again, some can lose patience and disputes frequently happen. For example, if someone cannot stand in line; when access to a primary need is not acquired, emotions inevitably take over.
This well is in the eastern part of Mbinu Dita. In this rural area of Sumba, access to clean, quality water is difficult. Hopefully, we will soon find solutions for a better and healthier quality of life and to avoid fights for this blue gold which should be a human right.
