Field updates
The Transparency & Updates category provides structured, verifiable reporting on our ongoing work in ultra-rural Indonesia.
It documents activities, decisions, budgets, and operational constraints, linking resources to concrete outcomes. Articles present measured results such as patients treated, supplies delivered, and infrastructure built, grounded in evidence-based reporting and aligned with WHO standards, without exaggeration.
2024 units SolarBuddy lights are leaving from Canberra, Australia! 2000 children’s lights and 24 larger ones for schools will arrive in Surabaya within a month. We are preparing the customs documents and will use our Truck and Roll to pick them up. This vast operation will bring light to nearly 2500 people, transforming their lives
We’ve invested in a new scooter for Erwin, our Primary Medical Care field coordinator. This off-road-capable scooter will help Erwin reach even the most remote Kawan Sehat health agents to deliver and restock medical supplies. It’s a small investment of 1,000 Swiss francs, but one that will undoubtedly save lives.
In ultra-rural villages lacking electricity, SolarBuddy lamps provided by Fair Future and Rotary illuminate kitchens and pathways at night. During the day, these lamps recharge when hung on trees or fences, preparing to light up homes and paths in the evening. This straightforward solution brings safety and brightness to families who need it most.
Supporting us is simple! You can contribute supplies at locations in Sumba, Denpasar, or Switzerland. We’re in need of educational materials, medical supplies, polio and malaria diagnostic tests, solar panels, construction tools, clothing items for children as well as books and bedding. Your donations will directly aid our ongoing programs. We appreciate your help!
Polio is making a comeback in Indonesia, particularly in the areas where we operate. This outbreak is connected to inadequate hygiene practices, insufficient sanitation, and restricted access to clean water. With limited resources, we are vigorously combating it by launching prevention campaigns and enhancing water access as well as sanitation facilities to safeguard vulnerable communities.
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!
