In the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.

#PrimaryMedicalCare: The Renaissance of Women in Ultra-Rural Societies of Southeast Asia
In the ultra-rural communities of Southeast Asia, a remarkable change is taking place. Thanks to the #PrimaryMedicalCare program by the Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Foundation, over 50 women, primarily teachers, are redefining their societal role. These women, traditionally confined to the roles of child educators and homemakers, are now gaining confidence and autonomy, becoming undeniable pillars of their community.
Their comprehensive medical training has opened previously closed doors, allowing them to take on responsibilities beyond traditional education. By becoming Kawan Sehat health agents, they have acquired essential life-saving skills and achieved a new social status. Their role has transformed from background figures to leading actors in the health and well-being of their villages.
This evolution is significant as it is a model and inspiration for other women in these regions. These health agents now represent the possibility of a fulfilled life, demonstrating that improvement in living conditions and personal achievement is within reach for all. They are breaking traditional barriers and redefining what it means to be a woman in societies previously limited by rigid norms.
Their growing assurance is a living testimony to the positive impact of education and training on women's empowerment. By transforming their status within the community, they are creating a future where women are not just caregivers and educators but also leaders and innovators.
Fair Future Foundation is committed to continuing its support for these modern heroines, recognizing the crucial importance of their role in health care delivery and building a more equitable and inclusive society. Our work with these remarkable women is a step towards a future where every woman can play an active and respected role in her community.
