Meet our unique staff

What makes Makan Dulu truly unique is not what’s on your plate, but what’s behind it. From the talented chef to the friendly waiter, all those smiling faces are … students.

Our student staff make Makan Dulu different. While serving you, these young people undergo intensive training provided by the Sumba Hospitality Foundation.

In 1 year, they are fully independent, ready to follow their dreams and break the cycle of poverty.

Home grown in our permaculture garden

Did you know that we grow most of the Makan Dulu ingredients ourselves? Learn more on our dedicated “Responsible Tourism” page of the Sumba Hospitality Foundation
