# Our Impact in Sumba | Eco Beach City

Eco Beach City's social impact in Sumba: local education, jobs and reef preservation, and how the project supports them.

Every plot, every villa, every glamping is part of something bigger. Together with our local partners, Eco Beach City is funding education, school support and long term opportunities for the children of Sumba.

Support for local schools and learning spaces

Jobs and training for local families

Long-term infrastructure that stays in Sumba

## Where your money goes

Eco Beach City is a collective project. We build together. Part of the capital from each investment goes back into Sumba in three direct ways:

### Education Support

We help provide materials, infrastructure and stable support to local schools. The goal is simple: better conditions for learning, every single day.

### Local Employment

Construction, carpentry, hospitality, guiding, transport. Eco Beach City prioritizes local teams first, so salaries stay on the island and feed local households.

### Long Term Opportunity

We are not building a resort that extracts. We are building an ecosystem that trains. Tourism, sustainability, design, hospitality, entrepreneurship. Skills that last.

## This is personal

Behind every glamping and every villa there is someone in Sumba whose life changes in a real way. A driver who now works full-time. A carpenter who trains his nephew. A student who has books, internet and a reason to believe their future can happen here, not somewhere far away.

"I want my students to see that Sumba is not 'behind'. I want them to feel that the world is already here."

Rina

Local teacher

"Now I can train my nephew. He doesn't need to leave the island to learn a skill that feeds his family."

Agus

Carpenter

"This work gives me stability. My children go to school every day. That is everything to me."

Maria

Logistics and transport

## We are not here to replace. We are here to build with.

We work side by side with local schools and families. The goal is not to arrive, take pictures, leave and post it on social media. The goal is continuity. Training. Skills. Shared stewardship of the future of the island.

We collaborate with local schools

We hire and train locally

We commit long term

## Why this matters long term

structure

We work with long-term leasehold structures so investor money is not "tourist money", it is rooted.

Eco Beach City is funded by people from around the world, but the impact must stay in Sumba.

first

The most powerful infrastructure we can build is a mind that believes "I can stay here and still have a future."
