“Sentru Atauro Diak”, a Community and Social Business Center leading by example in the island of Atauro
The Sentru Atauro Diak is a beautiful landmark in the remote Atauro island. Launched in 2015, it is the first development hub in the country, featuring a local products’ shop, business demonstrations, fun monthly events, trainings, classes and community visits that reach over 3500 people per year and make this center a local attraction!
The first ever self-contained facility in the island is a development hub with training areas, office space and business demos
This center was built by the man and women of Atauro. Our team, volunteers and local friends helped train over 20 people to turn empty land into this incredible center.
With the pro bono support from the Uma Arkitetura architects we designed a building that incorporates local and foreign materials to create a space for both local communities and tourists.
The Sunrise Joint Venture, the New Zealand Embassy and our Co-Founders funded this dream, turning it into reality!
