Support The Cause
Slave Island intends to go beyond the cinema room and bring impact to Sumbanese people. We want to support a new generation of youth from Sumba, so they can have the resources and influence to challenge the deeply entrenched caste system. By fostering awareness, education, and advocacy, the campaign seeks to break the cycle of servitude and build a future where no child is born into slavery.
