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.
Laindatang Water Connections: A Transformative Project for Rural Communities.
In the isolated village of Laindatang in East Sumba, access to clean water has become a transformative reality thanks to the #WaterConnections program. This initiative tackles the area’s severe shortage of essential resources such as electricity, sanitation, and Clean Water. Its goal is to break the cycle of hardship faced by families, children, and educators in one of Indonesia’s most overlooked regions.Daily, children trek up to 10 kilometres barefoot to a school devoid of water and sanitation facilities, while teachers endure difficult conditions without basic necessities. The scarcity of clean water heightens health risks and restricts educational opportunities, thereby perpetuating poverty. However, the initiatives by Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik are making a significant difference in their lives.With the program’s phased approach, the community has experienced remarkable progress. Phases 1 to 3 have delivered clean water to more than 100 families and set up sanitation facilities, greatly reducing health risks. Additionally, new infrastructure is creating safer learning environments for 80 schoolchildren.Looking to the future, the program is broadening its impact with initiatives like Nutrition for All, expanding Primary Medical Care services, and strengthening efforts against malaria in Laindatang. At the core of these endeavours is a community collaboration, which ensures that solutions are both sustainable and transformative.This project embodies resilience, determination, and the transformative impact of clean water. Fair Future is laying the groundwork for healthier and more equitable futures by equipping communities with the means to prosper.

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.
