Illness often begins long before someone arrives at the hospital. Our campaigns on smoking, waste management, alcohol, and sexual health display straightforward messages across schools and village walls in local languages. Through simple posters, talks, and games, we help protect thousands of children.

The daily case load managed by Kawan Sehat health agents through the #PrimaryMedicalCare program is truly remarkable. Each day, they deliver crucial first aid services, saving lives and enhancing health for individuals who lack access to basic care. Visit our photo gallery to see the extraordinary efforts of these women and the foundation at work on site.
Introducing our new logistics truck, the “Truck n’Load,” equipped with a 1,000-liter water tank to deliver clean water to remote villages. Tomorrow, we begin applying decals illustrating our efforts to provide water and sanitation. Alex will collect the truck in Surabaya next week—an incredible addition to our foundation!
As previously stated, Fair Future has ceased the drilling project after nine months of extensive efforts. Over the last three weeks, our focus has shifted to an alternative solution: constructing a 100m³ underground rainwater reservoir to supply clean water to a community in urgent need. Project plans and cost estimates are attached for your review.
We have distributed our healthy living posters to local Puskesmas (health centers), and their directors were delighted. The posters are engaging and easy to comprehend, incorporating local characters and language. Teaching rural communities simple methods for disease prevention, such as handwashing, is truly rewarding.
We have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the East Sumba authorities to improve our primary health care program. Through this collaboration involving the health, education and social services sectors, we will increase the number of Kawan Sehat health workers to ensure that rural communities receive adequate medical care.
As part of our infectious disease prevention programs, we are producing audio spots broadcast on local and national Indonesian radio stations. These spots feature real-life scenes from rural families and are voiced by our doctors and collaborators. Filled with humor, they are highly effective in spreading awareness.
Today at the Laindatang Water Connections site, we met with the 78 schoolchildren, each receiving a bamboo cotton t-shirt with a drawing of 13-year-old Eben, a local child. The artwork symbolises our completed water supply project for the village, which includes tanks, toilets and access to clean water. The children were delighted not only to have clean water but also to receive these unique t-shirts!
After nine months of drilling in Laindatang for the #WaterConnections project, we are halting the work due to technical and geological challenges. The new plan is to build a 100-cubic-meter rainwater reservoir to provide clean water for 300 people. Drilling will resume after the reservoir is completed.
Fair Future Foundation is developing a comprehensive Malaria Prevention Project for the Umalulu region. With a focus on prevention, education, IRS spraying, and detection, we aim to significantly reduce malaria rates and ensure long-term impact through local capacity building.
The three-day training session for 20 new Kawan Sehat agents concluded with the presentation of official certificates endorsed by Fair Future, Kawan Baik, and local authorities. The comprehensive program covered over 20 medical topics to equip these agents with crucial skills needed to deliver essential care in remote areas lacking access to healthcare services.
Work is in full swing at Rumah Kambera, East Sumba, where we are preparing a three-day training session for dozens of Kawan Sehat health agents. Around 50 people, including doctors and nurses, will gather to learn how to provide life-saving care in regions with no medical resources. This is a unique, life-saving program.
The Truck of Life has arrived at Rumah Kambera, East Sumba, after three days on the road, carrying medical supplies, training materials, and medicines for Kawan Sehat health agents. This equipment will help care for tens of thousands of people in remote areas with no medical access. Thank you for making this possible!
