One of our latest campaigns, "My Waste, My Responsibility," combines health and the environment. Poor waste management contaminates water, spreads disease, and damages land. Through posters, training, and door-to-door outreach, we empower communities to protect their health.
A thriving community depends on good health. Fair Future’s Medical Advice section offers straightforward, practical solutions for daily health issues. Whether it’s preventing illnesses, caring for injuries, addressing mental well-being, or focusing on family health, we’re here to empower individuals toward healthier living. Stay informed and inspired by following us as we work towards building stronger and healthier communities together.
The Medical Advice category of Fair Future Foundation provides essential health tips and practical guidance for families in ultra-rural Indonesia. Here, we share simple yet vital advice on preventing disease, managing common illnesses, and caring for injuries in remote areas. These articles help empower communities with knowledge and practical steps to maintain better health and prevent avoidable complications where medical care is limited.
Since 2008, Fair Future has been bringing healthcare, clean water, and real solutions to ultra-rural communities where no one else goes. Your support fuels this mission. Thank you!
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.
