Swiss audited foundation with over 93 percent to the field
After years of walking to find dirty water, villages like Laindatang, Hambarita or Mbinudita can now access clean water from community reservoirs they built themselves. Clean water reduces diarrhea, skin infections, and fear. This is a true reflection of dignity in daily life.

We strive to uphold transparency, communicate clearly, explain thoroughly, assist effectively, and calculate accurately. Your support propels our success. Effective communication is vital in all interactions, irrespective of the person you are communicating with.
The Our Communication category of Fair Future Foundation shares how we connect with partners, donors, and communities in ultra-rural Indonesia. These articles highlight our newsletters, reports, and outreach efforts that build trust, transparency, and collaboration. By keeping everyone informed and involved, we strengthen our mission to improve healthcare, education, and clean water access, making every voice and every story part of the solution.
The first medicines are arriving, and we’re sorting and packing them. In a few days, we’ll transport them to East Sumba with our two fully loaded trucks. These medicines are vital, as we’re nearly the sole provider for hundreds of thousands of people. Thank you for supporting the third year of our #PrimaryMedicalCare program.
The Primary Medical Care program provides crucial medical aid to the isolated regions of East Sumba, where access to healthcare is limited. Your support will help sustain this vital mission and provide essential treatment to those in urgent need.
Don’t confuse Dengue with Malaria. While Dengue is common in cities, Malaria is endemic in rural areas where we work. This photo shows the source of Malaria infection, mainly transmitted by infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Without treatment, Malaria can become severe and fatal within 24 hours. We continue the fight through our #ZeroMalaria program.
As part of our #PrimaryMedicalCare 2024-2025 program, we are thrilled to announce that the Swiss Foundation has donated the first third of the annual budget—21,446 CHF (392 million IDR). This funding allows us to restock medical supplies, purchase medicines, and manage logistics for the next 12 months.
A major change for us: After years of effort, we’ve acquired a new Isuzu Traga truck, thanks to two generous donations. This Euro4-compliant truck will transport heavy construction and medical equipment, as well as a fixed 2,000-liter water tank to rural communities without access to water. A game-changer for our work.
We invite you to read Alex’s latest personal letter, a rare and heartfelt reflection on nearly 20 years of dedication to Fair Future, which he founded. He shares his journey without asking for anything, simply telling the story of his daily work. We encourage you to read and share this touching testimony.
We are thrilled to announce that Elma, who has been with us for several months, will join our team as a nutrition expert. She will be integrated into our #PrimaryMedicalCare and healthy living programs. Elma’s expertise will greatly benefit rural communities, improving their health and well-being. Welcome, Elma!
Building a 5,000-liter ferro-cement water reservoir in remote areas costs about 12 million IDR (700 CHF). This reservoir provides clean water to hundreds of people, especially children, improving health and reducing disease. Your support can help us build the next reservoir and transform a community.
The training manual for Kawan Sehat health agents in the #PrimaryMedicalCare program, containing 14 modules over 150 pages, will be reprinted after revisions and additions. New modules will enhance the training to ensure these agents can fully address the needs of those who lack access to medical care in their remote areas.
As part of our medical prevention and healthy living programs, we are launching four new campaigns: smoking dangers, environmental preservation education, STD awareness, and the risks of alcohol consumption. These will involve specific training and new posters distributed in ultra-rural villages, schools, and medical centers in East Sumba.
For our #PrimaryMedicalCare program, the Swiss Foundation has decided to replace plastic medical kits with sustainable and eco-friendly backpacks made from recycled materials. These sturdy bags can store and transport all the necessary medical equipment. Decorated with a simple red cross, it is also our way of paying tribute to the ICRC.
In 2024, we’re working on distributing 2,000 SolarBuddy solar lamps to 2,000 children and families, and 2,000 homes across East Sumba. These villages and schools have no electricity. This project, in collaboration with SolarBuddy, Kawan Baik and Rotary International, will bring light to homes and schools.
