Field stories
The Kawan Against Malaria program (formerly Zero Malaria) works to drastically reduce malaria cases in ultra rural areas. With local health authorities and Kawan Sehat agents, we diagnose and treat patients, distribute long lasting bed nets, spray houses, monitor data, and teach families how to protect themselves. This prevents severe anemia, dangerous fevers, and deaths especially among children and pregnant women.
The Kawan Against Malaria category documents integrated efforts to reduce malaria transmission in ultra-rural settings where the disease remains a major public health threat. Articles describe community-based prevention, including use of long-lasting insecticidal nets, environmental risk reduction, early diagnosis, and timely treatment. Interventions follow WHO malaria control strategies, combining prevention, surveillance, and access to care. This category highlights how coordinated field actions, local training, and continuous monitoring reduce malaria incidence, protect vulnerable populations, and strengthen community-level disease control.
During our fieldwork in Umalulu for the East Sumba Malaria Prevention Project, rapid diagnostic tests confirmed new positive malaria cases—children, women, and adolescents—despite being outside peak season. Without testing, cases remain invisible. Testing saves lives.
Three weeks into the malaria prevention project, East Sumba has seen real progress. The IRS campaign is complete, 20 prevention billboards are in place, and the education phase now begins. This malaria prevention project strengthens awareness, treatment, and long-term protection.
Malaria lab training in East Sumba brought together 28 analysts from all health centres and the RSUD hospital. Under WHO-certified mentors, they refined slide reading and microscopy skills, strengthening diagnostic accuracy and treatment speed in rural Indonesia.
The Kawan Against Malaria program delivers Indoor Residual Spraying malaria operations in East Sumba. Trained teams spray bamboo and wooden homes, surface by surface, to kill mosquitoes and reduce transmission. Each treated house becomes a safer place for children and families.
Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia lead a three-month malaria prevention project in East Sumba. The initiative combines lab training, awareness campaigns, indoor spraying, and the distribution of insecticide-treated nets to protect thousands of vulnerable families.
From March to July 2025, local cadres and Puskesmas staff conducted a door to door survey in Umalulu. Across 269 households and 460 interviews, the study mapped vector control, WASH, access and behaviours. The findings deliver a practical roadmap to reduce malaria in East Sumba.
Kawan Against Malaria enables rural health agents to protect their communities. We deliver rapid tests, mosquito nets, and health education where malaria is endemic—ensuring early treatment and fewer infections.
Malaria enters silently and can kill within days. But it’s preventable. Learn what malaria is, how it spreads, who is most at risk, and how Fair Future acts daily to stop this disease before it strikes.

Fair Future led two days of training to prepare local teams for a vital Malaria Spread Study using the Kawan Against Malaria App. 400 homes in Umalulu will be surveyed to guide better prevention strategies.
Throughout a full day dedicated to primary medical care, our teams screened and treated over 150 patients with an emphasis on malaria and tuberculosis. The provision of vaccinations, medications, and health education not only saved lives but also fostered trust within the community.
