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.
Rebuild Mbinudita: A Holistic Transformation for Sustainable Growth.
Rebuild Mbinudita is more than a project—it’s a movement to transform the lives of nearly 300 families and over 2,800 individuals in this ultra-rural village of East Sumba. What began as an effort to rebuild a school has blossomed into a comprehensive initiative addressing education, clean water, healthcare, nutrition, and economic empowerment. In collaboration with the resilient villagers, the Foundation has created access to safe and clean water, established organic gardens for better nutrition, and provided essential healthcare through the innovative Primary Medical Care program. With eight Kawan Sehat Health Agents trained in Mbinudita, we’ve built not just facilities but a foundation for healthier, more self-reliant lives. This initiative also empowers women, enhances income opportunities, and fosters independence. It has brought access to basic needs that once seemed unattainable for children, vulnerable individuals, and pregnant women. The program continues to evolve, serving as a “living laboratory” for innovation, compassion, and sustainable impact. Rebuild Mbinudita exemplifies what’s possible when a vision of holistic development meets a community’s determination. It’s not just rebuilding; it’s reimagining futures, offering real solutions, and creating lasting change. Together, we are reshaping what it means to thrive in one of the most underserved areas. Join us in building a brighter tomorrow for Mbinudita.

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.
