Care In Motion…
Nearly 200,000 liters of clean water capacity built
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.

[…] capacity of 110 cubic meters in Laindatang. This initiative aims to offer sustainable access to clean water for 300 residents, including more than 100 children. Located in one of the driest regions on Earth, where daily life is threatened by severe water scarcity, this project serves as an essential solution for improving local living conditions. From February to November 2024, our teams engaged in intensive drilling efforts over nine months with the aim of discovering an underground aquifer capable of supporting the community. Unfortunately, despite these endeavors, we did not locate any adequately replenished groundwater sources. Instead of leaving Laindatang without alternatives, we chose to invest in a new water storage solution that will enable the village to collect, store, and filter rainwater for continuous access—especially during emergencies when other sources are depleted. A Humanitarian Engineering Project with Complete Funding The project has a total cost of 252 million IDR (14,000 CHF), which the generosity of our donors has completely covered. We extend special thanks to the engineer and architect spearheading this effort; they have chosen not to profit from their involvement and will work at cost price, covering only materials and labor expenses. Their expertise is crucial for such […]

Extract and Description of this News: – Thank you for your interest. Fighting Malaria in Umalulu: A Critical Study for a Healthier Future Understanding and Fighting Malaria in One of Indonesia’s Most Affected Regions Conducting malaria research in Umalulu to develop urgent health solutions for affected communities. Hello, everyone. It’s Alex. Malaria remains one of the most pressing health challenges in East Sumba, particularly in the remote area of Umalulu. Without access to electricity, clean water, or basic healthcare facilities, residents of Umalulu face alarming rates of malaria infections throughout the year. This study, funded by RAM, an international malaria control organization with CHF 5,000, aims to assess the severity of the situation and lay the foundations for an effective response. Umalulu is one of the poorest and most remote areas in East Sumba. Access to the area is complex, requiring off-road vehicles or motorbikes to navigate its rugged terrain. The lack of reliable data on malaria prevalence makes a thorough field study even more crucial. Before launching a large-scale intervention, we need to understand the scale of the problem, the contributing factors, and the population’s immediate needs. Our local and Swiss teams, which include local health workers, will collect […]
