Healthcare Access

Ensuring Vital Health Care Access in Ultra-Rural Communities.
Access to basic medical care is the cornerstone of Fair Future Foundation’s mission. In the ultra-rural regions where we work, countless women, children, and families remain underserved, lacking essential health services. In these remote areas, too many children die from preventable causes—especially in the first days or weeks of life—due to diarrhea, pneumonia, and the resurgence of infectious diseases like dysentery, malaria, and now polio. Many of these illnesses are easily treated or even preventable, and that’s why our focus is on extensive prevention and providing essential medical care. These diseases remain the leading causes of infant mortality in East Sumba and similar ultra-rural regions. To combat this, we implement comprehensive healthcare access programs, distribute vital medications, and deploy our medical teams to reach every corner of these communities. Our Primary Medical Care program provides first aid and crucial health services to those in need, while our Child Health program focuses on the well-being of children. We educate families, especially mothers, on how to care for their children, prevent illnesses, and maintain healthy diets. For us, clean water is the most affordable medicine—it’s integral to our healthcare approach. Administering medication with dirty water isn’t just ineffective, it’s dangerous. That’s why ensuring access to clean water is a fundamental part of our healthcare efforts, because safe drinking water is essential for effective medical treatment.
