We will construct eight ferrocement tanks in Hambarita to provide clean water to isolated families. Six of these are currently funded, but two remain unfunded. We require CHF 2,300 for each tank. Your support guarantees access to clean water for the most remote communities. Donate now and be part of this life-changing project.
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.
Bringing Essential Healthcare to the Heart of Rural Communities.
In the remote regions of East Indonesia, families are confronting the harsh reality of limited access to basic medical care. Medical emergencies in these areas can quickly become dire, with risks escalating rapidly. In these rural villages, the absence of Primary Medical Care and or healthcare services is keenly felt, as most medical centers are hours away by foot, leaving residents without immediate support. In this challenging environment, injuries and illnesses are common, but the lack of medical resources exacerbates the situation. Without access to doctors, medical knowledge, essential equipment, or medications, these conditions can worsen, leading to devastating consequences, including loss of life. Swift action is imperative, and Fair Future is taking action. The Primary Medical Care 2022-2025 initiative is a vital and ambitious project aimed at providing medical treatment to patients in remote areas of East Sumba. Launched in December 2022, the program will continue in one-year phases for updates and evaluations, with the next milestone: September 2025. The goal is to provide healthcare to countless people who do not have access to adequate medical services. As we enter the third year of this program, we have refined and enhanced our approach, making it a unique model worldwide. Our training empowers ordinary people, primarily women from these ultra-rural areas, to become Kawan Sehat community health agents, delivering essential medical care in the most remote regions. We are now expanding our services to 20 out of the 22 districts in East Sumba, providing personalized and often life-saving care to those who need it most. This initiative is more than just a healthcare program—it’s a lifeline for communities that have been long overlooked. By bringing essential medical services directly to the people, we are not only treating illnesses and injuries but also building a foundation for healthier, more resilient communities for generations to come.
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.
