Fundraising Update From Lombok

We are happy to confirm the re-opening date of our Hotel Tugu Lombok on 20 September 2018. We look forward to welcoming you to Lombok! In the meantime, we would just like to say that we have been extremely grateful with the overwhelming amount of support and the donations. It has helped as many people as possible in north Lombok who have lost their homes and are still in evacuation camps to this day, and possibly, for still more months as they are still waiting for funds to rebuild their homes. We have been focusing all our efforts on raising funds and supplies.

To this day, we have helped 110 evacuation camps (30,000 people) with providing basic food and water supply, daily sanitary needs, water tanks, water pumps, water filters, generator sets, tents, books, school materials for schools and many more. With the insiders help of all our staff who are also spread in different camps, we are managing to reach remote camp that have not been touched by much help or none at all.

 

The past week we have begun a couple of bigger projects: we have organized materials for traditional homes of bamboo, thatched bamboo wall and palm leaf roof for semi-permanent housing. We are also happy to report our progress with our public toilet projects for these camps- we have done 15 camps and we are looking into distributing and organizing 200 more toilets between the various camps. We are targeting to build 80 emergency schools under large tents, to help bring back routine to these children living in the camps. As of today we have done 7 emergency schools in the different villages.

For those who wish to help and/or receive further updates regarding these projects, please let us know. We appreciate any help and support you could extend as we hope to do the above for more camps. For those of you who still have bookings at Tugu Lombok till the end of September, we are offering the possibility of relocating your booking to Hotel Tugu Bali or Hotel Tugu Malang (subject to availability), or to change dates for your Hotel Tugu Lombok stay. Any cancellation of bookings for stay till the end of September is not subject to cancellation fee. Please contact +62 (361) 4731701 or email sales@tuguhotels.com or lombok@tuguhotels.com for any further assistance we can provide you in the meanwhile.
