Still building clean and safe water tanks in East Sumba…

Still building clean and safe water tanks in East Sumba…

Water connections create a clean water network for families from rural areas in eastern Indonesia. Each facility includes gender-specific toilets, showers and access to life-sustaining drinking water.

These water points also aim to improve people's health, especially children. From a single borehole, we create water networks using the slope of the land, solar energy or hydrodynamic pumps.

Water to reduce infant mortality, birth problems and serious illnesses linked to the consumption of unsanitary water. Improving living conditions, creating economic opportunity, creating wealth and creating mental well-being

Healthy Sanitation Construction Program

Healthy Sanitation Construction Program

This photo is from this week. In the regions where we are active, tens of thousands of people cannot use the toilets. Do you know why? Quite simply because they don't have any, because they don't have water and no financial resources to ensure their construction.

The inhabitants, therefore, have no other means than to relieve themselves in fields, bushes, forests, ditches, streets, canals or other open areas. In our view, this is not only an attack on dignity but, above all, enormous risks to the health of families, especially vulnerable people: children, the elderly, pregnant women and the chronically ill. That's why we continue to build healthy sanitary facilities at this time with the "Water Connections" program in East Sumba.

Kawan Sehat, the full book for a healthier life

Kawan Sehat, the full book for a healthier life

The Foundation has created an illustrated book for the young in the ultra-rural areas of eastern Indonesia. Where knowing how to read and write is not shared. It will serve as a reference book and gather most of the information on a better lifestyle, the tips and tricks that are “normal” but that most don’t know here. Here it is in its preview version. There are still about ten pages missing in the process of colouring.

Kawan Sehat, the book for the Sumba kids

Kawan Sehat, the book for the Sumba kids

Kawan Sehat means "healthy friend". This is a book for children in rural areas. Our friend Bayu illustrated these boards simply for the children to understand immediately. Each panel presents Rambu (the woman), Umbu (the man) and a Horse (the most sacred animal of East Sumba) around socio-sanitary themes. The foundation's medical teams, familiar with local customs and traditions, treated about twenty subjects. Since the beginning of January, the foundation's medical teams have been developing additional medical topics for this book.

We invite you to get to know "Kawan Sehat" in .PDF format, in its latest version, by clicking on this link. Happy reading, Kawan.

Preparing primary health care kits

Preparing primary health care kits

Sixty (60) containers filled with medical equipment, essential drugs, and what to treat a wound quickly to prevent it from getting worse are being prepared.

Next week, more than a ton of medical equipment will reach our Rumah Kambera Medico-Social Base Camp by road. This represents a considerable volume of purchases, believe me.

The Rumah Baik Base Camp in Denpasar is filled with boxes, tape, medicines, plasters, bandages, disinfectants and other medical equipment.

Together we can make it

Together we can make it

Let’s do it together and hold hands to reach the moon. Ensure that the primary medical care program for children can continue as the needs are enormous here in eastern Indonesia. Malaria is ravaging, expectations are high, and we lack the means to buy medical equipment, medicines and everything they all need to get better…

Malaria outbreak in East Sumba, Indonesia

Malaria outbreak in East Sumba, Indonesia

Malaria is one of the most severe public health problems in the world. Here in Indonesia, and especially in the eastern regions, it is one of the leading causes of death and disease. Children under five years old and pregnant women are the most affected groups. The problem in East Sumba is the staggering rate of cases affecting families and the anti-malaria drugs that are unavailable or too expensive.
