Dozens of ultra-rural villages visited each month
In the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.
As part of our #PrimaryMedicalCare 2024-2025 program, we are thrilled to announce that the Swiss Foundation has donated the first third of the annual budgetâ21,446 CHF (392 million IDR).

The Fair Future Foundation is dedicated to improving child health and nutrition through sustainable food programs and education, working directly with families to provide balanced diets for their children’s healthier futures.
A major change for us: After years of effort, weâve acquired a new Isuzu Traga truck, thanks to two generous donations. This Euro4-compliant truck will transport heavy construction and medical equipment, as well as a fixed 2,000-liter water tank to rural communities without access to water. A game-changer for our work.
Fair Future actively supports ultra-rural communities with limited access to a diverse diet by raising awareness about local food resources. Our nutritionists teach families how to identify and prepare wild plants, fruits, and vegetables that are highly nutritious. Our programs contribute to child health, family resilience, and community building, while promoting sustainable living practices in areas where clean water and access to food are lacking.
