Our Swiss Foundation Board Members

Alex Wettstein is the Founder, President, and Head of Field Medical Operations at the Fair Future Foundation. A Swiss medical doctor, he created the foundation in 2008 after witnessing the lack of healthcare in remote areas of Indonesia. With over 25 years of humanitarian experience, he designs and leads major field programs in places like East Sumba. Deeply engaged on the ground, he lives alongside local communities to deliver medical care, clean water, and lasting solutions. His dedication continues to drive the foundation’s life-changing work.

Maxime Capelli, a proud native of the Broye region in Vaud, Switzerland, has been a loyal member of the Foundation Board for nearly 10 years. A specialist in refrigeration systems, he equips major commercial centers with large-scale cooling and heating technologies. Known for his Swiss reliability, resourcefulness, and technical know-how, Maxime plays a key advisory role in the foundation—especially when it comes to equipment and logistics. Always in good spirits, with a great sense of humor and a love for life, Maxime brings both expertise and joy to every discussion.

Elisa Wettstein, originally from Switzerland, is a Swiss Fair Future Foundation board member. Passionate about humanitarian work, she is an expert in fundraising and communication. Since February 2020, she has lived in Indonesia and works from the foundation’s base in Denpasar. Elisa oversees the ZEWO certification process, co-authors the annual activity reports, and develops key educational programs. Deeply involved in all aspects of the foundation’s work, she frequently travels to East Sumba for field missions and is a highly skilled event organiser.

This vacant seat is open to a motivated individual with experience in education, engineering, infrastructure, or sustainable development. We are looking for someone who is energetic, open-minded, and ready to help strengthen our foundation’s impact. The role is voluntary and designed for someone who enjoys strategic thinking, connecting with others, and supporting Fair Future’s long-term goals from a distance, with possible visits to Indonesia. A good heart and practical spirit are essential.

Michèle Rey joined the Foundation Board in 2021 and currently serves as Vice President. A dedicated educator for nearly 30 years and former head of her school, Michèle brings deep expertise in social sciences and a lifelong passion for education. Originally from Château-d’Oex, she lives in Switzerland and is the proud mother of four. With an open mind and a forward-thinking spirit, she plays a vital role in refining our communications, reviewing key documents, and supporting fundraising efforts. Her insight, precision, and kindness make her an invaluable member of the foundation.

We are currently seeking a new volunteer board member with a strong background in healthcare, social work, or community health. This person should be dynamic, curious, and committed to advancing Fair Future’s mission. The role involves sharing expertise, activating networks, and contributing ideas via our WhatsApp group and during board meetings. This unpaid role is ideal for someone with experience and passion who’s not afraid to travel occasionally and who wants to support meaningful change from home and on the ground.
