Updated Kawan Sehat Manual for Health Agents
The training manual for Kawan Sehat health agents in the #PrimaryMedicalCare program, containing 14 modules over 150 pages, will be reprinted after revisions and additions. New modules will enhance the training to ensure these agents can fully address the needs of those who lack access to medical care in their remote areas.
New Prevention Campaigns in East Sumba
As part of our medical prevention and healthy living programs, we are launching four new campaigns: smoking dangers, environmental preservation education, STD awareness, and the risks of alcohol consumption. These will involve specific training and new posters distributed in ultra-rural villages, schools, and medical centers in East Sumba.
Sustainable Backpacks for Medical Kits by Fair Future
For our #PrimaryMedicalCare program, the Swiss Foundation has decided to replace plastic medical kits with sustainable and eco-friendly backpacks made from recycled materials. These sturdy bags can store and transport all the necessary medical equipment. Decorated with a simple red cross, it is also our way of paying tribute to the ICRC.
Transforming Unsafe Spaces into Healthy Environments
Renovating unsafe school toilets and improving clean water and hygiene in rural East Sumba reduces sanitation-related health risks and creates safer learning environments.
Empowering 2,000 Families with Solar Lights in East Sumba
In 2024, we’re working on distributing 2,000 SolarBuddy solar lamps to 2,000 children and families, and 2,000 homes across East Sumba. These villages and schools have no electricity. This project, in collaboration with SolarBuddy, Kawan Baik and Rotary International, will bring light to homes and schools.
#PrimaryMedicalCare program is evolving in August 2024
After two years of uninterrupted success, our #PrimaryMedicalCare program is evolving in August 2024. With a stronger focus on advanced training for Kawan Sehat health agents, we aim to meet the immense healthcare needs, covering 20 of East Sumba’s 22 districts, and ensuring medical supplies for the next 12 months.

We purchased a pump to test at the Laindatang drilling site for the Water Connections Phase 3 project. Over the past three days, we’ve been testing the pump to determine if the water flow is sufficient for 600 people after six months of drilling.
We are going to buy a used truck quickly
We are in the process of acquiring a second-hand truck for our upcoming field activities to transport medical supplies and construction materials. This vehicle will play a vital role in supporting our ongoing socio-medical initiatives.
