FAIR FUTURE
A Swiss, international and independent socio-medical humanitarian organisation directly involved in the field
Fair Future is a borderless movement of people, working together to give a better living and healthier life to people in need. Together with our partners, we use a combination of practical and innovative tactics to implement development programs, public education, educational campaigns, advocacy campaigns and humanitarian assistance in disasters and conflicts.
The foundation is exclusively dedicated to providing people and children with concrete solutions to improve social, educational and medical living conditions through innovative and inspiring projects. From the construction of schools in rural and forgotten areas, of clinics or of a hospital, to projects to empower women.
Self-sufficiency has been our common thread since 2006: A social restaurant, a Fair eShop to support small artisans and micro-businesses, a social TV channel, a crowdfunding platform. We have created the Fair Future Indonesia and Kawan Baik Indonesia to work in al social fields in Indonesia. Fair Future will always find new ways to help communities equally and regardless of religion, beliefs, gender or age.
Also active in social, medical or infrastructural emergency aid, the foundation provides rapid and effective responses in favour of or populations affected by natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, shortages, destruction of vital buildings or economic crises.
Sanitation, toilets, feminine hygiene, access to drinking water, access to electricity, access to medical care, getting more children to school... We will not stop until everyone can live a healthy and balanced life, with the means of subsistence in order to have a better life.
Support and develop projects aimed at creating opportunities for all generations, children, young adults, the elderly. The foundation aims to rebalance social inequalities in order to restore the autonomy of all communities of people. We are creating a fairer and more equitable future for all.

As the coronavirus has spread, so too has misinformation, which fuels discrimination and stigma. Fair Future and Kawan Baik are very active in promoting facts rather than fear, providing reliable advice to those affected. We are on the ground in partnership with frontline workers and providing them with the information and resources they need to keep people healthy and learn, safe from illness and violence. We will succeed together, thanks to all of you.

Fair Future is a borderless movement of people, working together to end the injustice of poverty. Together with our partners, we use a combination of practical and innovative tactics to implement development programs, public education, educational campaigns, advocacy campaigns and humanitarian assistance in disasters and conflicts.
The foundation is exclusively dedicated to providing people and children with concrete solutions to improve social, educational and medical living conditions through innovative and inspiring projects.

Support and develop projects aimed at creating opportunities for all generations, children, young adults, the elderly. The foundation aims to rebalance social inequalities in order to restore the autonomy of all communities of people. We are creating a fairer and more equitable future for all.
Innovative and original ways
in order to define the needs of people without resources
Innovative, ingenious and respectful projects
We do everything to use local resources, work with local communities and do not want to create unnecessary dependencies.
INNOVATIVE, INGENIOUS AND RESPECTFUL PROJECTS
Our vision is of a just world in which all men and women determine the course of their lives in dignity and security, using environmental resources in a sustainable manner.
For the first time in human history, overcoming poverty as destiny is within reach. Faced with growing inequalities in the regions in which we operate, Fair Future and its innovative creations are joining forces to create paths towards a self-determined life for the young and old alike.
We work with those who are the beneficiaries of the actions implemented by the foundation's teams and its partners. A world where every news and change corresponds to the living environment of the people living there. We refuse to provide elements that could ultimately create dependencies, and we favour local resources above all.
Be there, on site, with the communities
We focus on the creation of innovative initiatives, thanks to our strong local involvement, we can define what people really need for a better life.
Being with them on the field, where programs are created
It is indeed unique, it is we who are in the places where we create a human, innovative and ingenious change. We are not an organization that distributes funds without knowing how they will be used, and we never will.
All of our programs are created and determined by Fair Future; in particular, thanks to original actions such as "Sumba Photo Stories", a needs definition program, which describes the living conditions of rural communities. A project carried out by children for their living environment, in order to understand their problems through their perspective.
Fair Future is original and unique because it wants to be at the centre of each project, in order to understand the essential issues involved in a change in a rural, disadvantaged and poor environment. Also with the aim of creating a debate with the beneficiaries, because we know that only they have many answers that can offer them a better life.
Making things easy with passion
We integrate into all our choices the notions of risks for the communities, which is good or bad for them. We decide together, them and us!
Make it simple but effective for everyone
Knowing how to be responsive and act in full knowledge of the facts and in a thoughtful manner. We are no different because we work in the implementation of humanitarian and charitable actions. Fair Future is always committed to things that it understands, that it has measured, of which it knows the risks in the event of implementation of action in rural areas.
Our knowledge of the places, of the communities with which we work every day, the fact that 90% of our collaborators are from here means that we do not consider ourselves different from the communities with which we work and live. We speak the same language, we understand each other well and know the local issues well.
Fair Future knows how to react in an emergency when necessary, but it also knows how to take its time so that its action is understood by everyone, effective in terms of impact and sustainable over time.
FOR THEIR FUTURE AND THEIR HEALTH
Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children
Rumah Kambera in few words, what is it? A workplace, social centre, an open door for all. A home for them, for us.
The foundation develops and implements actions in eastern Indonesia (NTT) and notably in East Sumba. To do so, we decided to coordinate our actions from a very simple little house in a village near Waingapu called Lambanapu.
Rumah Kambera is its name. This -home- will be a place of coordination of our socio-medical, educational activities in favour of children, women, and communities in rural and peripheral regions where access to water, electricity, education, or health care are almost non-existent.
A place where everyone will be welcome to offer a helping hand, to propose an aid project, or to collaborate with the volunteers and collaborators of the Foundation as part of their activities and programs. Additionally, it will also be a place of exchange, conferences, training, and workshops, a public garden, a place to experiment with what's working and what doesn't.
The foundation launches a fundraising campaign in this direction: Renovate the house using recycled materials, organise the first social activities and the development of this place.
Rumah Kambera Base Camp East Sumba
Providing medical care, drinking water, light to study, build schools and improve solutions for access to knowledge, and primary care.
WORKING WITH FAIR FUTURE
The kawans of the foundation are all locals, specializsed in their fields of activity, from the field and working with a big heart and empathy
Simple and human resources adapted to the real needs of communities living in rural areas
Who can help us to work in favour of populations from ultra-peripheral regions?
We invite you to join us in developing actions to bring more children to school, increase access to basic medical care, access to drinking water or electricity to study, and so many other things. Some News here!
Every year, dozens of people from the local communities and regions in which we work help us do good things. Foreigners and young people from other parts of Indonesia are also welcome. We rely on their expertise, their different perspectives and their experiences to help us create sustainable, ecological and innovative programs.
Together, we are
working on these programs
You can help us in our day-to-day work, the one that brings us all into the field, close to the people and communities of the outermost regions.
Whether it is a project or a social, medical, artistic, creative, cultural, solidarity, ecological action aimed at making the world a better place. Our vision is of a just world in which all men and women determine the course of their lives in dignity and security, using environmental resources in a sustainable manner.
Build a school for hundreds of children living in rural areas. It is possible yes!
Far Future really get involved and come to the aid of situations that seem the most complicated, if not impossible. And yet we do it!

Nov 20
Throwback - Just over a year ago, the @kawanbaikindonesia and @fairfuturefoundation team visited Mbinu Dita Elementary School, in East Sumba. The purpose of this visit was to introduce the “Kawans” as part of a socio-educational and cultural project #sumbaphotostories.
The school was simple, made of bamboo, with no “soil”, only black sand and rocks. It didn’t resist the storm that came few weeks later. In December, it collapses. And that's when the #bangunmbinudita adventure begins.
When the new reached the Base Camp in Bali, the KBI and FFF teams reacted immediately. They contacted two great architects and humans being who didin't hesitate to help and to make this project become a reality; Dina and Klick from #Archimetriz.
After long months frozen in time due to the pandemic, construction was finally able to start in August and 3 months later, the school is there, solid and resistant!
It's about 90% complete and the teams from FFF, KBI and Archimetriz are on site right now to help with the finishing touches.
Thanks to all for your support ✨

Jan 23
Virtual Exhibition - "News from the East". A creative way to adapt to the current conditions is to hold exhibitions in a virtual event online.
Not only it allows people to have access to it easily during this time, but it also makes it available for people from all around the world to understand better the living conditions in rural areas of Indonesia.
Sumba Photo Stories and the exhibition entitled "Kabar dari Timur" turned into a virtual 3D display. With the layout of photo works on the gallery space walls, visitors can enjoy photos of children's through smartphones, laptops or tablets which are assisted by text and audio narration.
Check out their works and don't forget to give feedback after exploring with the link below the exhibition.

Jan 11
“Kabar dari Sumba” online exhibition - glimpse of life in the east, of life in rural areas of Sumba Timur. A representation of families' daily lives in remote regions, captured through young students' eyes, aged 9 to 12.
They open their houses to us, share their regular meals with us, invite us to follow them on the way to school, see their island and hills from morning until night. They capture those moments that punctuate their lives and explain them to us. Creating a story from these images is also an essential part of this exhibition and the curation process. Not only do they open their doors, but they also want to explain and tell us stories to guide the visual, in their own words. It's now up to us to listen.
From the remote region of Kahaungu Eti sub-district, in the eastern part of East Sumba district, Nusa Tangga Timur, their villages are named Kamanggih and Matawai Katingga.
Forty-eight children are the authors and artists of this exhibition called "Kabar Dari Timur" which translates to "News from the East". Through these photographs, audiences in Indonesia and worldwide can imagine and immerse themselves in a child's daily life in these regions.
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, cancellation of socio-cultural events and halt of learning and teaching activities in Indonesia, the exhibition had to be adjusted. Hence, it was adapted online, making accessible to a larger audience through smartphones, tablets or computers.
It is hoped that this medium will make it possible to re-transpose the message of this series of photographs and stories as near as possible to reality.
This exhibition will be held until March 2021, via the website sumbaphotostories.com
Join the exhibition launching live on fairfuturefoundation.org/noproblemtv at 5PM WITA!

What is the most urgent, the biggest issue? You just have to ask them. Thanks to this photo project, the children describe to us through their own perspective, the challenges of their daily lives. Another approach to defining needs, describe the socio-cultural conditions. A project made by children for their environment. Up to us to listen!
This exhibition; a glimpse of life in the east, of life in rural areas of Sumba Timur and a representation of families' daily lives in remote regions, captured through young students' eyes.

Dec 29
Sumba Photo Stories continues despite everything. This program was initiated to give knowledge and skills through the medium of photography to children’s from the villages of Lapinu, Matawai Katingga and Kamanggi in East Sumba. Teach them how to put words on an image and tell a story through a camera angle.
Those images became a source of information about children’s living conditions in remote and rural areas that we can all learn something from. Started in January 2020, the pandemic slowed down the program. But we will not wait more; they have something to tell us, and we should listen.
Hence, their photo exhibition will be held online very soon, stay tuned!

Dec 16
Hi friends! Let's talk a bit about First Aid.. The hilly terrain of the island of Sumba makes it beautiful but is also an obstacle in several sectors; first, it makes access to medical care very difficult. Second, the lack of trained medical personnel and adequate medical facilities.
For example, in one village named Bidipraing, the only “Puskesmas” (public health centre) they have is open only twice a month to provide basic care; the 8th day of the month for children, the 16th day for adults. And just like 1/4 of health centers in the world, they don't even have access to water.
We encountered many injured children during our daily work: dry skin, unhealthy growth on newborn babies, or any type of wounds, especially on the feet. Those wounds occurred because they walk barefoot most of the time, whether it is to play, or to go to school. These injuries go untreated, causing infections that lead to more serious medical problems later. Hygiene and lacking access to clean water are also the reason why most of the injuries left untreated.
Children are not the only ones concerned; teenagers and adults are also affected. For example, a young man from a neighbours village was injured in a motorcycle accident. He returned home with a swollen foot and open leg. His family could not do anything because they have no basic knowledge of first aid care, such as cleaning or disinfecting wounds. So, we intervened and treated him to avoid infection.
