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 the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.
Nutrition and Food in Ultra-Rural Environments
In all of our programs to promote access to a healthy life and address the significant issues of malnutrition, we strive to improve the health of children. Fair Future, along with our team of nutritionists, develops balanced nutrition programs to promote healthy eating.
The Nutrition & Food category of Fair Future Foundation focuses on the importance of proper nutrition and food security in ultra-rural Indonesia. We share stories of how we provide nutritious meals and promote healthy eating habits to improve community health. These articles highlight our efforts to fight malnutrition, support child growth, and ensure everyone has access to the nourishment they need for a stronger, healthier future.
Fighting Malnutrition Through Food and Nutrition Programs
Wai Pa Luri Wangu clean water tank for Hambarita village
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.
Nutrition and Food for Remote Villages
