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.
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.

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.
Primary Medical Care Program
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
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 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.
8 billion equal people? What about the food?
Eight billion people on earth: Are we going to starve? On the one hand, there is population growth. On the other, the world’s resources make it possible to feed human beings. How to reconcile the two? Today and tomorrow, will we all be able to provide for ourselves?
Help us load the medical truck
As part of the project for access to primary medical care for children in rural areas of eastern Indonesia, the foundation needs you to balance its budget. We want to be able to load our medical truck as much as possible in order to reduce logistics costs. They will carry more than a ton of medical equipment, medicines, sterile equipment, and first-aid materials.
Consuming unclean water can look like this!
Consuming unsafe water can look like this!
In these few images taken at the end of October 2022, in a village in East Sumba, more than a hundred people have access to this unique water source. A well was dug by hand more than ten years ago and is almost always dry. People have to queue to get a few litres of water that is totally unfit for consumption and dangerous to their health.
Report of the water connections project
Fair Future regularly presents reports establishing what we have achieved in all our necessary actions. The document that we offer you here explains what, all together, we have been doing over the past twelve months as part of this colossal project, Water Connections, Mbinudita Site. As a reminder, this project aims to provide access to drinking water and sanitation to more than 2,500 people whose homes are scattered over nearly 10 hectares.
