10 active prevention posters in villages and schools
To reach ultra-rural villages, we rely on the Truck of Life to navigate rough, broken roads. This vehicle allows us to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, water, tools, solar kits, and food. Logistics play a crucial role in our program; without access to fuel, spare parts, and the commitment to long days on the road, we would be unable to reach the patients in need.

Fair Future Foundation’s Primary Medical Care initiative is a lifeline for remote communities in East Sumba. By providing essential healthcare where access is nearly impossible, this program saves lives. Our approach empowers local women as Kawan Sehat health agents, ensuring that even the most isolated villages receive vital medical attention. This unique program is building healthier, more resilient communities.
The Primary Medical Care category of Fair Future Foundation details our work in delivering essential healthcare services to families in ultra-rural Indonesia. These stories showcase how we provide basic treatments, educate communities about preventive health, and address common illnesses. By bringing medical care directly to remote villages, we improve health outcomes and empower communities to thrive despite extreme challenges and limited resources.
Skin infections are not cosmetic. In ultra rural areas, small cuts, insect bites, or scratched skin can quickly become dangerous infections. Heat, dirty water, and delayed care increase the risk. Early cleaning and simple prevention save lives every day in the field.
In ultra rural Indonesia, access to medical care depends on distance, roads, and signal. The Kawan Sehat Medical App was created to change that reality by enabling trained community health agents to deliver structured primary medical care without internet access, while generating reliable medical data for long term action.
In eastern Indonesia, ultra-rural medical care depends on people who walk where vehicles cannot go. In regions cut off from roads, electricity, and doctors, Kawan Sehat health agents provide first-line treatment, prevention, and education. Their work fills the growing gaps left by under-equipped Puskesmas and overstretched hospitals.
In East Sumba, Kawan Sehat health agents now carry a new tool the HIV prevention poster campaign. Used in homes, schools and small clinics, it explains in simple language how HIV is transmitted, how it is not, and which everyday actions protect families, partners and young people from infection and stigma.
Primary Medical Care East Sumba is not a theory, it is 798 patients and 1,421 cases in three months, most of them children and women, treated where no doctor is present. Through Kawan Sehat agents, we bring first aid, medicines, prevention and referrals into ultra remote villages. Without this program, these cases simply stay untreated.
In MbinuDita, Kawan Sehat health work began with two women and a backpack. After more than three years as the first call for fevers, wounds and malaria, Agustina and Ferias end their mission, return their equipment and help prepare new agents so village care grows from twenty to thirty trained workers.
In Lahiru, Kawan Sehat health workers Sarlota and Yosef wake with the sun, walk steep paths for water, farm the hillsides and open their house as a small clinic. This film lets you follow their routine of cooking, washing, treating fevers and wounds so neighbors in a remote village can stay on their feet.
In this article you finally discover who are Kawan Sehat health agents, not as numbers but as people. Through portraits and short testimonies they explain who they are, where they live, the patients they care for and why they chose to become the first line of medical care in remote East Sumba hills every day.
In the hills of East Sumba, Kawan Sehat health agents walk for hours to reach families who live far from any clinic or road. Equipped with a medical backpack and solid training, they treat fevers, wounds and malaria, document every case, and call our doctors when a life is in danger and transfer is possible.
The Water Connections Program provides sustainable access to clean water through ferrocement reservoirs, toilets, and food gardens. In ultra-rural Indonesia, water is the start of health, nutrition, and education. Without it, life is impossible. With it, dignity returns.
Kawan Sehat agents are trained women from rural villages who deliver medical care where no other system exists. Their work is vital, human, and lifesaving—guided by knowledge, trust, and compassion.
Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia made a primary medical care donation of CHF 19,248.96 (around IDR 400 million) covering 32% of the program’s 2025–2026 budget. This funding sustains healthcare access for thousands of people in ultra-rural Indonesian regions lacking clinics, doctors, or medicines.
