This Mbajik solar evaluation began at night, not with tools but with a film. Children and adults gathered to watch themselves on screen, for the second time. The first was in October, during installation. This time, it was different. This time, electricity was already part of their lives.
To reach ultra-rural villages, we rely on the Truck of Life to navigate rough, broken roads. This vehicle allows us to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, water, tools, solar kits, and food. Logistics play a crucial role in our program; without access to fuel, spare parts, and the commitment to long days on the road, we would be unable to reach the patients in need.

Holistic Education and Social Empowerment
At Fair Future Foundation, we believe education is the key to transforming communities. Our holistic approach integrates schooling with clean water access, primary healthcare, and nutrition, ensuring that vulnerable communities thrive. By actively involving local communities, we create sustainable solutions that address real needs, paving the way for a brighter future in the ultra-rural regions we serve
The Education & Social category of Fair Future Foundation focuses on how education and social initiatives strengthen communities in ultra-rural Indonesia. Here, we share powerful stories that highlight how access to quality education, knowledge sharing, and the creation of social support networks can transform lives. We demonstrate that investing in education and building strong social connections are vital steps towards improving health, well-being, and the overall quality of life for those living in remote areas.
Education is not just about learning; it’s about empowering communities
Solar Light for Children in Ultra-Rural Regions
This new picture of the day shows solar light for children delivered through patience and care. In an ultra-rural classroom, a lamp is not simply handed over. Time is taken to explain, to show, to ensure understanding. For children living without electricity, light means safety, learning, and dignity once the sun goes down.
Water Reservoir Graduation Scale Protecting Community Health
Inside the Laindatang reservoir, a graduation scale measures every ten-thousand litres of stored water. This precise tool allows safe monitoring, controlled use, and long-term protection of clean water. In ultra-rural villages, measuring water accurately is not technical detail. It is prevention and survival.
Laindatang Water Filtration System | Preventive Health
Before water reaches the tank in Laindatang, it is filtered by hand. Custom-built filtration modules remove debris, organic matter, and insects, reducing contamination risks. This system turns rainwater harvesting into preventive medicine for families living far from any medical infrastructure.
Clean Water Roof in Laindatang | Medical Water Safety
A light steel roof now protects the Laindatang reservoir, shielding filtered rainwater from heat, light, and contamination. Built with villagers by Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, this structure turns rainfall into safe drinking water and prevents avoidable disease.
Laindatang water reservoir work – sealed interior
Laindatang water reservoir work required transforming raw concrete into a sealed chamber through seven protective layers. Each layer prevents contamination, stabilises the structure, and protects the health of families. This technical process is essential for long term safe water in East Sumba.
Laindatang water reservoir construction improving access
In Laindatang we build a 115000 litre reservoir by hand with villagers, shaping steel, timber, and concrete on a remote plateau. This work brings clean water to families who have lived without it and strengthens community health for the years ahead.
Hill access for water in Laindatang begins
Repairing Laindatang’s hill road was essential to bring clean water. The slope was broken and unsafe, but now machinery can finally reach the site. A first step toward reducing disease and improving daily life.
SolarBuddy distribution reports now available East Sumba
The two documents prove that light delivery is more than numbers. They show routes taken, funds used, and hours of study gained. They record teacher involvement, safer evenings, and lower injury risk. Evidence builds trust, and trust keeps the lights arriving where they are needed most.
The Day Night Changed – Solar Light for Mbajik School
For five days, we lived and worked in Haray to create The Day Night Changed, a film showing how electricity reached Mbajik School for the first time. This is the story of before, during, and after, in a district where over 100 schools still wait for power.
Electrification of Mbajik School the Movie
For five days we worked to complete the electrification of Mbajik School the movie, carrying heavy equipment, wiring every room, and sleeping in the village. This project brings light to 80 children and 12 residents, in a district where over 100 schools still have no electricity.
Environment and Climate Action
In Eastern part of Indonesia, climate change is not abstract. It dries up crops, kills trees, spreads disease, and worsens poverty. The Environment and Climate Program acts locally to address global emergencies—through waste management, education, water access, and community-led adaptation.
