Rumah Kambera 2026
 👋 Hello friends, this is Alex. How are you?
Normally, this letter goes out on Friday. This time, it arrives four days late. I worked all weekend. Here, the field does not know whether it is Friday or Sunday. The patients do not either.
Every month, several hundred people are treated by our teams. The Primary Medical Care program continues to grow. We are preparing for its expansion, with a gradual increase from 20 to 30 community health agents. This means more consultations, earlier diagnoses, and fewer severe complications. It also means greater responsibility, closer supervision, and more medicines that must be properly secured.
 At the same time, we continue our fight against infectious diseases. You may have read our recent articles about the hidden cost of delay in rural medicine, about deaths that are geographic, about the absurdity of antibiotics without laboratories, and about malnutrition as an infection multiplier. None of this is theoretical. It is our daily reality.
We are also working on the arrival of a new batch of approximately 2,500 SolarBuddy© lamps for schools and villages without electricity. We are working on specific support for children with disabilities who cannot travel to health centres. We continue training the Kawan Sehat teams, because local competence remains the key to everything.
 In the midst of this intensity, one reality stands out. Rumah Kambera, the base we have been renting since 2019, has become too small and too fragile.
This is where we store medicines, prepare medical kits, and coordinate our water, energy, and prevention programs.
It is our operational heart. But the building is deteriorating and no longer matches the scale of our activities. The limiting factor is no longer human. It is structural.
Not a symbol. An operational base.
We have acquired land and designed a socio-medical and logistical centre built for the next twenty years. A secure pharmacy and medical centre with a laboratory already funded, structured storage areas, technical workshops, offices and coordination spaces, a community amphitheatre, a large collective kitchen, housing for staff and volunteers, as well as medicinal gardens and vegetable plots. A place to work, to train, and to live.
I have taken the time to prepare a complete document outlining the project, its purpose, timeline, and budget. ⬇It is available here in English. I invite you to read it. Understanding what we are building is already part of the journey.
While we plan for the future, we continue to treat, prevent, train, and build. Nothing stops. It is precisely because the work is growing that we must strengthen its foundation. Thank you for being here, loyal, attentive, committed.
Alex, for Fair Future – Tuesday, March 3, 2026 |
