Malaria Emergency | In order to effectively fight the ongoing malaria epidemic in our region, our medical teams need vital resources such as medicines, rapid diagnostic kits, laboratory equipment and two microscopes. In addition, it is very important that we have access to impregnated mosquito nets and indoor spraying equipment (IRS) to prevent any potential infection. Thank you from the heart.

Malaria Prevention Initiative Sumba Timur 2023
Nearly half of the world’s population is at risk of malaria, especially in areas with high transmission rates. The situation is critical in East Sumba, Indonesia, with infection rates soaring above 80%.
In partnership with local health authorities, we’ve initiated a crucial program to address this issue, focusing on vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women.
Malaria - Urgent needs for medical equipment
Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs)
To accurately diagnose malaria, it is essential to conduct multiple tests using microscopes and reagents. It is crucial to obtain these materials promptly to detect and treat the numerous cases effectively.
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs)
A reliable way to protect oneself against mosquito-borne diseases is the use of mosquito nets, which act as a barrier between people and insects. Sadly, many households in this area still lack access to this essential tool.
Space insecticide spraying (IRS)
A practical method of managing mosquitoes that make their way into homes is to use residual insecticide spray on the interior walls. Currently, Indoor Residual Spraying is one of two core malaria interventions recommended by the WHO.
Antimalarial drugs & others
There is a pressing need for an increased supply of antimalarial medications and treatments for illnesses resulting from contaminated water, malnutrition, and parasitic and infectious diseases that are prevalent in our area.
Primary Medical Care Progress Report
The Primary Medical Care (PMC) program has been a game-changer for many rural communities in East Sumba. Since its launch in December 2022, the programme’s workers – all strong women from ultra-rural areas – have treated more than a thousand people.
Remarkably, these Kawan Sehat agents are not medical professionals, yet they have saved countless lives. This testifies to the effectiveness of the program and the dedication of these heroes in these regions with no other medical resources than those offered by this program.

They are the Future
As we help disadvantaged communities, we often ask ourselves important questions.
How can we improve malaria treatment when medication is in short supply? Would providing ready-to-eat foods be a viable solution to combat malnutrition? And why is access to clean water so crucial for a healthy life? To learn more, please read our latest news articles.
Water Connections project in Laindatang Village
This village currently lacks access to water, resulting in widespread illness and malnutrition. Both children and adults are underweight and have insufficient access to food and water.
This village currently lacks access to water, resulting in widespread illness and malnutrition. Both children and adults are underweight and have insufficient access to food and water.
It is imperative that we take action to provide hundreds of people with access to clean water. The prevalence of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and infectious diarrhoea linked to contaminated water sources has taken a significant toll in this region. With the feasibility studies completed, we are ready to work.
Your click can make a difference in the lives of over a hundred families living in extreme conditions in this village by providing them with access to clean water and toilets.
Together, let's help families in distress
