Through the Primary Medical Care program, Kawan Sehat health workers provide treatment for fevers, wounds, and malaria in villages lacking access to doctors. They carry essential medicines, adhere to established medical protocols, and refer emergency cases promptly to prevent delays in care.
In East Sumba, the Fair Future Foundation’s #WaterConnections project has improved access to clean water and hygiene. This initiative has reduced infectious diseases and improved living conditions by installing washbasins and handwashing stations. The Foundation has provided clean water to over 600 people in Laindatang, demonstrating the positive impact of their efforts.
Fair Future and Kawan Baik are improving lives in rural areas by addressing malnutrition and poor health through clean water access and nutrition education. Our projects, including #WaterConnections, teach communities to grow and cook healthy foods, ensuring healthier lives for children and families. With support and guidance, we empower villages to improve their diets, health, and futures.
The Truck of Life, essential for reaching rural areas, has undergone major upgrades, including new solar panels, a 75-liter vaccine storage unit, and a redesigned layout, turning it into a mobile clinic. These improvements enhance its ability to provide vital healthcare services, addressing the challenges of accessing medical care in remote areas and managing important resources like the cold chain.
Eben’s journey from being a polio survivor to becoming an artist is central to Fair Future’s 15-year celebration.

From April 17 to 24, Fair Future hosted five members of the Rotary Club Australia. They visited East Sumba to learn about our work, including clean water projects and efforts to combat diseases like malaria and dengue. Together, we distributed SolarBuddy lights and promoted healthy living. We deeply appreciated their support.
The Water Connections project by the Fair Future Foundation is transforming life in Laindatang, East Sumba. By providing clean water to 600 residents, including nearly 100 schoolchildren, we are not only improving hygiene and reducing the risk of diseases like malaria, polio, and tuberculosis, but also teaching sustainable living practices. Our dietitian’s efforts to promote healthy eating and our educational initiatives on hygiene are empowering this extremely rural community to thrive. Support our mission to create a healthier future for all.
