Kawan Sehat’s women health workers, through the Primary Medical Care program, are revolutionizing healthcare in extremely rural areas. Their unwavering commitment and specialized training allow them to save countless lives each day by providing essential medical attention for issues such as malaria, infections, and injuries.
PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE AND DISEASE PREVENTION
Where no doctor is available, care must reach people directly. Fair Future Foundation delivers primary medical care and disease prevention through trained local health agents following structured protocols. Treatment of common illnesses, fever, wounds, and malaria is combined with hygiene, vaccination, and community education. This integrated model reflects WHO public health principles, where prevention and care form a single, continuous medical response.
The Medical & Prevention category focuses on evidence-based field medicine and public health actions implemented in ultra-rural contexts. It documents how primary medical care, disease prevention, and early intervention reduce morbidity and mortality where access to healthcare is absent. Articles address infectious diseases, maternal and child health, hygiene, vaccination, and community education, aligned with WHO recommendations. Beyond theory, this section presents concrete medical practices carried out on the ground by trained local health agents, highlighting how prevention remains the most effective and sustainable medical act in vulnerable populations.

Our goal is to provide visually engaging displays that strengthen our education and prevention efforts, significantly improving living standards for those we serve.
Improving Children’s Health with Water and Nutrition
This new “Picture of the Day” shows Ayu spending time with a child from Laindatang in East Sumba, where we have been working for over two years as part of the #WaterConnections and #ZeroMalaria programs. Ayu will measure this child along with 78 others, and also weigh him to assess his hygiene and determine whether he is doing well and gaining weight.
Our main objective is to improve the standard of living of ultra-rural communities while ensuring their sustainable development. We pay particular attention to promoting the growth and physical well-being of children, as malnutrition remains a significant problem affecting approximately 15–20% of young people. This means that hundreds of children are facing weight and nutrition issues that concern us deeply.
We provide healthcare programs that educate parents, villagers, and schools in ultra-rural areas about good nutrition. Due to the extreme poverty and isolation in these regions, healthy eating habits are often unfamiliar concepts. Therefore, we provide them with nutritious meals made with local ingredients while teaching them to grow their own gardens for a healthier diet.
Our approach emphasises crucial skills such as eating vegetables as often as possible, drinking clean water through our #WaterConnections initiative, and protecting yourself from infectious diseases by adopting preventative measures.
One of our team members can be seen in this new Picture of the Day, watching over a child. Our mission is to weigh, measure and evaluate hundreds of children every week to ensure their medical and hygienic well-being. This evaluation is essential to determine the effectiveness of our on-site programs. We have witnessed impressive results: Better access to water has improved nutrition, which has translated into increased vitality, better health, and an overall healthier lifestyle.
Improving water availability and nutrition creates a beneficial loop that transforms lives and strengthens disadvantaged communities.

If We Don’t Do It, Then Who Will? Global Water Crisis
The 10th World Water Forum has come to a close, but our mission persists. At the Fair Future Foundation, we are dedicated to tackling the global water crisis by supplying clean water to the most remote and underprivileged communities. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, our resolve remains steadfast. The driving question that motivates us is, “If We Don’t Do It, Then Who Will?” This question propels our efforts each and every day.

Clean Water for Handwashing in Rural Communities
In East Sumba, the Fair Future Foundation’s #WaterConnections project has improved access to clean water and hygiene. This initiative has reduced infectious diseases and improved living conditions by installing washbasins and handwashing stations. The Foundation has provided clean water to over 600 people in Laindatang, demonstrating the positive impact of their efforts.
