Malaria continues to pose a daily threat in East Sumba. Our new "Kawan Against Malaria" programme combines prevention, mosquito nets, education, and treatment to safeguard families and the most vulnerable. Every action saves lives, especially those of children. Together, we can combat malaria village by village.
The Fair Future Foundation is unwavering in its dedication to providing primary medical care, treatment, and disease prevention to strengthen the health and well-being of families, women, and children in vulnerable communities. Through unwavering, sustainable approaches and a relentless focus on clean water, nutrition, and accessible healthcare, we are resolutely committed to creating healthier, more resilient futures for all.
The Pandemic Time category of Fair Future Foundation shares our experiences and challenges during COVID-19 in ultra-rural Indonesia. These articles show how we adapted our medical programs, provided emergency aid, and educated communities about health and safety. Through innovative solutions and local collaboration, we supported the most vulnerable families and ensured continued care despite the global crisis, protecting lives in these isolated areas.

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.
