About the Fair Future Foundation Board
The Fair Future Foundation, a Swiss non-profit organisation recognised as a public utility by both the Swiss Confederation and the Canton of Vaud, has held tax-exempt status since 2011 under federal registration number CH-550.1.057.027-8. This page introduces the committed members of our Foundation Board, who voluntarily guide our work in accordance with Swiss foundation law.
Our Board comprises five stable and long-standing members, several of whom have been involved since the beginning of our humanitarian journey. Their continuity ensures integrity, accountability, and strategic direction across all aspects of our mission.
Two members are directly active in the field in Indonesia: Alex Wettstein, President and Founder of the Foundation, has devoted nearly 20 years to humanitarian and medical work in Southeast Asia. His daughter, Elisa Wettstein, who serves as Secretary and Finance Officer, has been deeply involved in operational coordination and financial stewardship for over four years.
Together, our board members—friends, family, professionals, and volunteers—uphold Fair Future’s core mission: delivering access to healthcare, clean water, education, and dignified living conditions for those living in ultra-rural and medically underserved regions.
We are now looking to expand our board to seven members. We welcome expressions of interest from individuals with meaningful experience in the medical, educational, or nonprofit sectors—especially those familiar with the dynamics of international foundations and field-based humanitarian work. Contact us here if you’re interested.
Below, we invite you to meet the individuals who help turn our commitment into lasting impact.
