Water On The Way…
Local teams at work every day in the field
Malaria continues to pose a daily threat in this area. Through Kawan Against Malaria, we monitor cases, test all fevers, protect homes, and educate families. The use of bed nets, spraying, and prompt treatment turns statistical data into lives that endure quietly, rather than ending prematurely.

Fair Future is pleased to release the final report of the Water Connections project in Hambarita. Over several months, eight ferrocement reservoirs were built, providing clean water to dozens of families. A serious effort, real impact, and lives transformed—thanks to all of you.
For CHF 2245, you can build a ferrocement reservoir of 5350 liters, giving safe water to 15 people in East Sumba for more than 10 years. Each reservoir means fewer illnesses, more education, and dignity for families. Donate today and change lives.
Fair Future delivers CHF 12000 in urgent medical equipment to East Sumba’s only hospital, where staff face shortages so severe patients die from treatable conditions. The supplies will help restore life-saving care.
A shipping delay has pushed back the arrival of 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps in East Sumba by around 15 days. This setback disrupts our plans—but it won’t stop us. We adapt, reschedule, and continue to fight for those without light, electricity, or access to healthcare. We will be ready by June 10th.
This week marks an important step for Fair Future: we’ve officially begun the process of obtaining ZEWO certification, the Swiss quality label for trusted NGOs and foundations. This journey may take months, but we are fully committed to achieving it—strengthening your trust and our transparency. Thank you for your support!
We’re proud to share that Fair Future has fully funded the construction of a 110,000-liter water reservoir in Laindatang. CHF 12,642.13 (IDR 251,517,375) has been transferred to Indonesia. Construction begins in June 2025 and will benefit the communities of Laindatang and Hambarita. More Clean water is coming!
In Umalulu, nearly all children at a six-class primary school have already had malaria. With infection rates over 50% and national health budgets slashed, we’re launching an urgent study to understand and combat this deadly disease. Our goal: real, scalable solutions for one of Indonesia’s most affected regions.
Fantastic news! We’ve officially secured tax-free approval for importing 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps from Australia. This historic milestone makes Fair Future the first NGO to achieve duty-free humanitarian imports in Indonesia. These lamps will soon light up villages in East Sumba. Huge thanks to Rotary, SolarBuddy, and our teams for making this possible!
Check out our interactive map for the 2025 SolarBuddy lamp distribution! Yellow marks schools receiving 2,224 lamps, while gray shows over 100 schools still without electricity—affecting 10,000+ children. A long journey ahead, but one step closer to brighter futures. Click the map to explore!
We’re purchasing over 300 long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) to protect families from malaria in Umalulu and beyond. These high-quality, extra-resistant nets last over 5 years and are a crucial tool in our #ZeroMalaria program. Costing nearly $20 each, they are a major investment in health and prevention.
We’re close to finalizing the import of 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps from Australia to Indonesia—an unprecedented effort to bring light to children in East Sumba. After three months, 15+ meetings, and countless letters, we now await the final approval in Jakarta on Feb 3. This milestone will pave the way for future tax-free humanitarian imports.
Fair Future is allocating nearly 90M IDR (4,900 CHF) to study malaria in East Sumba, one of the most infected regions. This research will assess needs, understand disease spread, and involve communities in finding the best solutions. An essential step in the fight against this deadly disease. #ZeroMalaria
