We will construct eight ferrocement tanks in Hambarita to provide clean water to isolated families. Six of these are currently funded, but two remain unfunded. We require CHF 2,300 for each tank. Your support guarantees access to clean water for the most remote communities. Donate now and be part of this life-changing project.
Fair Future Foundation is dedicated to empowering ultra-rural, isolated, and marginalized communities by providing essential resources for self-reliance and sustainable development, including clean water, healthcare, vocational training, and economic independence. Through close collaboration, we aim to drive enduring change and ensure communities can thrive independently.
Empowering Rural Communities: Building Resilience and Self-Reliance for Lasting Change.
Empowering women and ultra-rural communities is at the heart of our mission at Fair Future Foundation. We believe that true empowerment begins with equipping individuals and communities with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need for self-reliance and sustainable development. In the most remote areas of Indonesia, where access to basic services is a constant struggle, we focus on initiatives that enable these communities to take control of their own futures. Our approach to empowerment is holistic, encompassing not just women, but entire communities.
We work closely with local populations to identify their unique needs and strengths, implementing projects that provide clean water, education, and healthcare while fostering economic independence. For women, this often means creating income-generating opportunities, improving health outcomes, and expanding access to education, which collectively help break the cycle of poverty.
Community empowerment goes beyond immediate support; it’s about building a sustainable foundation for long-term change. By integrating local knowledge and resources, we ensure that these communities can continue to thrive long after our initial involvement. From agricultural training that enables families to grow their own food to vocational education that opens up new employment opportunities, our goal is to create resilient communities capable of facing challenges and seizing opportunities for generations to come. In the ultra-rural areas where we work, women are often the most affected by economic hardship and limited access to resources.
By empowering them, we not only transform their lives but also strengthen entire communities. When women and marginalized populations are given the tools and support they need, they become catalysts for positive change, leading to healthier, more prosperous communities. At Fair Future, empowerment is not just about providing aid; it’s about creating pathways for communities to thrive on their own terms, ensuring they are equipped to face challenges and build brighter futures.
Since 2008, Fair Future has been bringing healthcare, clean water, and real solutions to ultra-rural communities where no one else goes. Your support fuels this mission. Thank you!
In April 2025, the Fair Future Foundation launched the Malaria Spread Studies program in East Sumba, with a focus on the ultra-rural village of Umalulu. This region has long struggled with malaria, with nearly 55% of the population recently testing positive. Despite years of endemic presence, little has been done to understand why malaria continues to thrive here.
The Malaria Spread Studies aim to diagnose the real situation before proposing any solutions, just as a doctor would never prescribe medicine without first understanding the illness. For the first time, we are conducting a comprehensive field investigation to map out the factors that fuel malaria transmission.
To carry out this program, we developed a specialised digital tool: the Kawan Against Malaria App ("Good Friends Against Malaria"). This application enables local teams to survey every household in Umalulu by asking 65 targeted questions. The study is based on three key pillars:
This approach is unique in an area where resources are minimal and where little support exists beyond minimal governmental programs. Thanks to collaboration with local authorities, Kawan Baik Indonesia, Rotary International, and Rotary Against Malaria, this study aims to establish a precise understanding that will inform future prevention and treatment actions.
The Malaria Spread Studies are not just about understanding the disease; they are also about preventing its spread. They aim to spread awareness, give communities a voice, provide concrete data for strategic interventions, and create a model that can be replicated across other malaria-endemic regions.
