Driving Real Change: How Fair Future Foundation Maximizes Impact with Every Donation.

About Fair Future Foundation
When humanitarian goals become a community’s cause, the results are exponentially transformative.
Fair Future has come a long way since its establishment in 2008. It was founded by Alex Wettstein, who was deeply affected by the tragic death of a child from Malaria in a small village in Flores, Indonesia. This event led Alex to create the foundation to help those who are often overlooked and neglected by society.
With the support of his father, Axel Kahn, a renowned physician, geneticist, and humanist, Alex shaped the vision and mission of Fair Future. Axel emphasized the importance of combining medicine and humanity throughout his life, and he encouraged Alex on this humanitarian journey.
Today, Fair Future’s socio-medical teams and Alex and Ayu continue supporting isolated and vulnerable communities. Their main objective is to offer emotional, social, educational, and medical assistance to those who would not otherwise have access to these services. Their dedication is deeply rooted in the daily struggle against infectious diseases caused by unsafe water, poor diet, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Transparency and direct impact are central to their work, with 93% of funds going directly to projects on the ground. This commitment has been verified through the latest audit of the 2023 and 2024 accounts.
Among their most impactful initiatives, the Zero Malaria program saves lives, house by house, thanks to innovative and proactive techniques that protect entire families from this devastating disease. Similarly, the Water Connections program continues to change lives by providing clean water to those who do not have access to it. For three years, a five-ton drilling rig obtained through a private donation has been operating reliably to reach underground water sources, bringing hope to thousands of people.
“As I reflect on our journey since 2006, I am reminded that Fair Future Foundation is not just a project but a living force, transforming lives in the most remote corners of Southeast Asia. Together, we are proving that the impossible can become reality.” – Alex Wettstein.

At the same time, the Primary Medical Care program, launched in 2022, has successfully treated a remarkable number of patients in areas lacking medical resources. This initiative has become an essential support for many people. In addition, the Swiss organization Fair Future conducts awareness campaigns on nutrition, hygiene and the prevention of diseases related to excessive consumption of tobacco, alcohol or junk food. These efforts effectively mobilize thousands of people and significantly improve the quality of life in their service areas.
We are incredibly proud to allocate 93% of the funds we receive directly to projects on the ground, a rare commitment in the NGO sector. In 2025, we will strive to obtain ZEWO certification, a prestigious Swiss distinction that would reward our efforts and be great for our foundation.
The story of Fair Future includes notable recognition, such as receiving the Paul Harris Fellow award from Rotary International. This honour was bestowed upon Fair Future, along with Alex and Ayu, in acknowledgement of their dedication and efforts. Such a distinction serves as both a lesson in humility and an inspiration to assist those who need it most persistently.
By joining Fair Future, you are joining a human adventure where every gesture counts, and every donation becomes a real action on the ground. Together, we are building a better future.
