The Kawan Sehat book helps families in rural East Sumba learn practical habits around hygiene, nutrition, prevention and everyday health through simple shared lessons.
Picture of the day

The Picture of the Day category shares one daily image from ultra-rural Indonesia, captured during real field work.
Each photo documents medical care, disease prevention, clean water access, and community life as it is, with no staging. This is visual evidence of constraints, decisions, and measurable impact where healthcare access is limited.
