The community of Sikka has graduated

In 2021, the community has transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Local people and organizations have been equipped to take over and lead the community's development - and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Sikka has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come

Context

The Sikka community is located on Flores Island, more than 900 kilometres away from Jakarta, the capital city. Sikka is accessible only by air or by sea, with an air travel time of at least three hours from Jakarta. This hilly island is scattered with coconut trees and has a tropical climate. Temperatures average 33℃ in the hot season and 22℃ in the cold.

For all its tropical beauty, however, as a community Sikka experiences many difficulties, and about 20% of people here live below the poverty line. Most families struggle to provide for their basic needs through fishing or farming, which are the primary sources of income on the island. Only 26% of households have access to safe drinking water, only 10% have proper latrines, and many do not have electricity.
