KAKAK ASUH

As a new initiative by Mestara Berdaya Sumba, Kakak Asuh will help their Adik Asuh feel supported, seen, and empowered to pursue her dreams with confidence. While the MB Sumba scholarship focuses primarily on educational funding, Kakak Asuh creates a more personal and sustained connection.

Full support for school tuition fee for one year 

A monthly grocery package for one year
