East Nusa Tenggara is a province located in the eastern portion of the Lesser Sunda Islands, including West Timor. It consists of more than 500 islands with Flores, Sumba, Alor, Rote and (West) Timor as the main islands.
Around 4.25 million of people live in the province. Most of the smaller islands are very remote and only connected to the major islands by limited and infrequent air and sea transportation services. Kupang, which is located in West Timor, is the capital of this province.
Dry weather, infertile land and lack of natural resources, including safe-water and major infrastructure, make the region among the poorest in the country. The secondary school enrolment rate is about 40%, just a half of the national average of 80%. Dire poverty and lack of clean water, sanitation, and health facilities result in high level of malnutrition among children (32%) and child mortality (62 per 1000 live births), much higher than the national average. East Nusa Tenggara consists of 12 rural districts.
In 2008, World Vision has programs in nine districts: East Flores, Sikka, Manggarai, West Sumba, East Sumba, Rote, Alor, Kupang and North Central Timor. Most of the initiatives are integrated community development program with a life time of 10 to 15 years.
World Vision has over 15,000 sponsored children at these projects. World Vision started supporting poor children in orphanages in this province in early 1960s. We significantly expanded and intensified the interventions in 1990s and 2000s with the openings of scores of larger-scale community development projects and health projects. All the undertakings are aimed at facilitating the people to reach their full potential by addressing the causes of poverty and injustice.
