When disaster strikes, time is of the essence. Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, stationed on the frontlines, swiftly identify urgent needs. Yet, accessing disaster-stricken areas can be treacherous when roads are severed. The initial response is spearheaded by those already present—community members, our on-site teams comprising logistics experts, medical professionals, and documentalists, as well as local authorities and aid organizations. Together, we share time, resources, and expertise to provide immediate relief.
Equipped with pre-packaged kits, we rapidly deploy life-saving assistance. With our extensive presence in multiple regions, our aid workers are often nearby during times of calamity. When the situation demands a larger response, additional teams, including dedicated volunteers, bolster the ranks. The Truck of Life Program springs into action, traversing even the most challenging terrains to deliver vital equipment where it is needed most.
Since the devastating natural disaster in April 2021, our base camp in East Sumba has tirelessly cared for thousands of patients. But our reach extends far beyond the camp, as we venture directly into the hardest-hit areas. We administer medical care, treating hundreds of wounds. We provide essential medications, vitamins, and minerals, ensuring the well-being of those in need. Our efforts also include the distribution of tons of food and hundreds of thousands of liters of water, along with the construction of sturdy steel reservoirs capable of storing 5,000 liters each. No family, village, or vulnerable person should suffer from hunger or thirst when we stand united.
Join us in our unwavering commitment to alleviating the plight of those affected by natural disasters. Together, we can offer solace, support, and resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges.
