Banda Cultural and Heritage Foundation

Restoring historical sites, regenerating cultural assets, helping the nutmeg plantation and providing higher education in Banda Islands.

Yayasan Warisan dan Budaya Banda (Banda Cultural and Heritage Foundation) was established in 1983 by the late Mr. Des Alwi to initiate, coordinate and fund projects relating to the preservation of Banda’s cultural and natural heritage.

We need your support to continue our mission in preserving the cultural and natural wealth of the Banda Islands.

“A concerted effort to preserve our heritage is a vital link to our cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, and economic legacies -- all of the things that quite literally make us who we are.”

— Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author, The Columbus Affair
