Field updates
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.
In Lahiru, East Sumba, Kawan Sehat agent Desiana explains prevention during a health action co-organised with the local Posyandu. Fabric posters support discussion of malaria symptoms, mosquito-bite prevention, alcohol-related harm and waste management with children and adults alike.
Photographed by a village resident on 11 September 2026, this gathering in Laihiru links Kawan Sehat training with family health education. Active since 2022, Primary Medical Care supports 25 agents who use portable fabric posters to share practical prevention knowledge across East Sumba.
In Nggaha Ori Angu, Rambu Esther provides community healthcare East Sumba inside a woman’s home. As a Kawan Sehat health agent, she brings essential medicines, clinical advice and early assessment, then links families safely to our medical team when referral or further care is needed.
At an outdoor Posyandu in Lambanapu, more than 100 young children came for growth checks and possible vaccination. Our team observed mixed names, insufficient supplies and too little individual attention. For many mothers, this is their only realistic point of care. Every child needs a verified record and follow-up.
A small solar panel rests on a chair beside a road in Mahu, East Sumba. Out of view, an old scooter battery stores enough power for one 12-volt lamp in a home. This photograph shows how families make light where there is no grid, and why village and school electrification must be dependable.
At Rumah Kambera, our team holds a waste sorting billboard before it goes up in Waingapu. Ten panels will carry a message about discarded plastic, burning and shared responsibility. The photograph connects everyday choices with collection services, education and public health in East Sumba.
At Rumah Kambera, two members of our team hold an HIV prevention billboard before it goes up in Waingapu. Ten panels will ask people to learn their status. The photograph connects a public message with confidential testing, confirmation, treatment and care without shame in East Sumba.
In Mbajik, East Sumba, an older man sits outside a wooden building and shares his story. His family says he is 106, though his birth date is unverified. He still walks each day and speaks clearly about a life that is difficult at his age. His portrait asks us to listen before we speak about care.
Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia team members apply waterproofing inside a 5,300-litre ferrocement reservoir in East Sumba. Local villagers work beside them and learn a practical technique that brings filtered rainwater closer to three rural households.
Inside a rural East Sumba home, a Kawan Sehat health agent assesses and treats a wound. For patients far from hospital care, timely first-contact care, clear advice and early referral can reduce the risk of delayed infection and severe illness.
A Kawan Sehat health agent teaches young children how to reduce, sort and safely manage plastic waste in a rural East Sumba classroom. The school now has clean water from a new 5,300-litre reservoir, but still has no electricity. Prevention begins with words children can use at home.
An older woman holds a small packet of medicines inside her home. Elderly healthcare in East Sumba often means bringing care closer. Kawan Sehat agents provide assessment, basic treatment, advice, follow-up and referral when illness, frailty or limited mobility makes access difficult.
