9 active health campaigns
Through the Primary Medical Care program, Kawan Sehat health workers provide treatment for fevers, wounds, and malaria in villages lacking access to doctors. They carry essential medicines, adhere to established medical protocols, and refer emergency cases promptly to prevent delays in care.
The Water Connections program aims to provide fair and safe access to clean water. This initiative not only prevents diseases and reduces health risks, but also sustains lives, decreases infant mortality, and promotes economic prosperity.
The Water Connections category of Fair Future Foundation shares our vital work in improving clean water access and sanitation in ultra-rural Indonesia. Through wells, reservoirs, and water-saving initiatives, we help communities secure reliable, safe water. These stories highlight how our water projects improve health, reduce disease, and bring new hope to children and families living in the most remote and challenging environments.
In Hambarita the rainwater tank Wai La Padang changes how water and health begin each day. Before this project families rode kilometres on scooters for a few jerrycans. Now 5 300 litres of rooftop rain stand beside three small homes, saving money, energy, and clinic visits while protecting every child from dirty water.
In Hambarita the Wai Pa Luri Wangu water tank is one of eight new reservoirs we built with the community. This 5 300 litre blue cylinder stands just a few steps from three houses and sixteen people, turning short rains into stored water for daily life, hygiene and basic medical care, instead of dangerous rides on motorbikes with heavy jerrycans.
In this image Kawan Sehat wound care happens on a bamboo floor where clinics are days away. The agent irrigates, debrides if needed, applies a sterile dressing, checks tetanus, and teaches danger signs. Early care stops infection before it spreads to the blood. This is how primary medicine prevents funerals.
This picture shows Hambarita water reservoir plaques resting on the grass moments before installation. Each plate carries a local name because water is treated like kin. When a tank is called by name, people maintain it, clean gutters, and guard the lid. Eight new reservoirs will store rain, cut disease, and return time to families.
The 114.7 m³ rainwater tank in Laindatang, named Matawai Urang, is now fully connected to gutters and filtration, ready to collect clean water for 300 residents. This rainwater tank Laindatang project also features an information panel, sharing the story of safe water access for the community.
Fair Future is pleased to release the final report of the Water Connections project in Hambarita. Over several months, eight ferrocement reservoirs were built, providing clean water to dozens of families. A serious effort, real impact, and lives transformed—thanks to all of you.
Eight ferro-cement reservoirs in Hambarita now provide safe, filtered water to 120 people. Built with local skills, they improve health, hygiene, and quality of life for decades in one of East Sumba’s most remote areas.
Fair Future built a 115,000-litre triple-filtered rainwater reservoir in remote Laindatang, East Sumba, overcoming extreme conditions to ensure clean water and health security.
In Laindatang, eight ferrocement reservoirs now provide clean water, transforming health and reducing disease. With a 113m³ tank underway, this project reshapes life for hundreds in an ultra-rural community.
In Hambarita, Fair Future builds 8 clean water tanks to serve 150 people living in ultra-rural poverty. With no roads, electricity, or healthcare, these reservoirs offer essential health protection.
In Laindatang, a child asked why he and his family are always sick. The answer lies in the water: diarrhea, typhoid, skin infections, hepatitis A. Fair Future fights back with clean water and frontline medical care.
Fair Future tackles taboos surrounding menstrual health by empowering girls with access to hygiene, medical care, and education. It’s not just about health: it’s about restoring dignity and equality.
