Medical & 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.
Archive scope
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.

A 9-year-old child needs surgery quickly
This little boy’s name is Assaria, he’s nine years old. He has severe 3rd-degree burns to over 24% of his body and requires surgical attention. He is not well, and we have to find a solution together. He can barely walk because of terrible burns to his legs and back.
We need anti-malaria drugs!
Fair Future issues an intense red alert linked to the case of malaria, which is reaching a critical level here in East Sumba, Indonesia. For weeks, thousands of malaria cases have been recorded here in East Sumba. This figure is nevertheless to be taken conditionally because, in many villages, people do not have an identity card or a family book…
Kawan Sehat, the full book for a healthier life
The Foundation has created an illustrated book for the young in the ultra-rural areas of eastern Indonesia. Where knowing how to read and write is not shared. It will serve as a reference book and gather most of the information on a better lifestyle, the tips and tricks that are “normal” but that most don’t know here.
Together we can make it
Let’s do it together and hold hands to reach the moon. Ensure that the primary medical care program for children can continue as the needs are enormous here in eastern Indonesia. Malaria is ravaging, expectations are high, and we lack the means to buy medical equipment, medicines and everything they all need to get better…
Malaria outbreak in East Sumba, Indonesia
Malaria is one of the most severe public health problems in the world. Here in Indonesia, and especially in the eastern regions, it is one of the leading causes of death and disease. Children under five years old and pregnant women are the most affected groups.
Help us load the medical truck
As part of the project for access to primary medical care for children in rural areas of eastern Indonesia, the foundation needs you to balance its budget. We want to be able to load our medical truck as much as possible in order to reduce logistics costs.
Consuming unsafe water can look like this!
In these few images taken at the end of October 2022, in a village in East Sumba, more than a hundred people have access to this unique water source. A well was dug by hand more than ten years ago and is almost always dry. People have to queue to get a few litres of water that is totally unfit for consumption and dangerous to their health.
New complete and healthy sanitary facilities in Ritta, East Sumba
We do not stop; the teams of Fair Future and Kawan Baik foundations have already built, as part of the #waterconnections project, site of #mbinudita #sdmbinudita, more than thirty (30) tanks of more than 6000 litres, six ( 6) complete sanitary facilities including two toilets, showers, laundry washing and water collection point.
New complete and healthy sanitary facilities in Wondenu, East Sumba
In rural villages in eastern Indonesia, where we work, toilets are very rare. This is particularly a problem in rural areas where a third of the population must continually defecate in the open air. For Bapak Rinto, it is a relief and a great pride that his family finally has a toilet, thanks to the support of Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia.
Building two new Water Tank – East Sumba, Mbinudita
In these few images, the teams of Kawan Baik Indonesia and Fair Future Foundation, with the help of volunteers from the village, are building two new Ferro-cement tanks of more than 6000 litres, which in a few weeks will provide clean water to a group of houses.
Living without toilets and without water, Fair Future is changing that
We are in the process of completing new clean water tanks and new sanitation facilities in Mbinudita. Our teams are on-site with the help of the entire local community, women, men and children who help us in this work. These infrastructures are made of Ferro-cement, like all the others, with the difference that we give the possibility to the…
