For CHF 2245, you can build a ferrocement reservoir of 5350 liters, giving safe water to 15 people in East Sumba for more than 10 years. Each reservoir means fewer illnesses, more education, and dignity for families. Donate today and change lives.
After years of walking to find dirty water, villages like Laindatang, Hambarita or Mbinudita can now access clean water from community reservoirs they built themselves. Clean water reduces diarrhea, skin infections, and fear. This is a true reflection of dignity in daily life.
Do you know what actions Fair Future is taking to solve the problem of lack of clean water?
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 Shortages category of Fair Future Foundation reveals our crucial work in combating water scarcity in ultra-rural Indonesia. Here, we share stories of how we build wells, repair water infrastructure, and deliver clean water to families who lack it. Our response to water crises helps prevent disease, improve health, and support the survival and resilience of communities in some of the world’s most isolated and vulnerable areas.
Clean water and sanitary facilities
Eight Ferro-Cement Reservoirs Hambarita
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.
Unmatched Laindatang Rainwater Reservoir
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.
Clean water tanks built for isolated families
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.
Agriculture in Danger Climate and Drought Effects
Climate change and extended droughts are straining farmers, complicating food production and jeopardizing livelihoods. To address these challenges, Fair Future Foundation’s Water Connections program and health initiatives offer sustainable solutions that ensure access to clean water, enhance nutrition, and bolster rural economies.
WMO Confirms 2024 as Warmest Year Impacting Water Access

Fair Future’s Water Connections program is actively tackling this critical situation.
