The Local Focus category delivers location-based reporting from the specific villages and districts where Fair Future Foundation operates in ultra-rural Indonesia. Articles link field data, clinical observations, and program results to real geographic conditions, highlighting how access, infrastructure, and isolation shape health risks. This category documents the implementation of primary medical care, water access, and prevention activities, enabling long-term follow-up and measurable analysis, village by village.
We are thrilled to announce that Elma, who has been with us for several months, will join our team as a nutrition expert. She will be integrated into our #PrimaryMedicalCare and healthy living programs. Elma’s expertise will greatly benefit rural communities, improving their health and well-being. Welcome, Elma!
Building a 5,000-liter ferro-cement water reservoir in remote areas costs about 12 million IDR (700 CHF). This reservoir provides clean water to hundreds of people, especially children, improving health and reducing disease. Your support can help us build the next reservoir and transform a community.
The training manual for Kawan Sehat health agents in the #PrimaryMedicalCare program, containing 14 modules over 150 pages, will be reprinted after revisions and additions. New modules will enhance the training to ensure these agents can fully address the needs of those who lack access to medical care in their remote areas.
As part of our medical prevention and healthy living programs, we are launching four new campaigns: smoking dangers, environmental preservation education, STD awareness, and the risks of alcohol consumption. These will involve specific training and new posters distributed in ultra-rural villages, schools, and medical centers in East Sumba.
For our #PrimaryMedicalCare program, the Swiss Foundation has decided to replace plastic medical kits with sustainable and eco-friendly backpacks made from recycled materials. These sturdy bags can store and transport all the necessary medical equipment. Decorated with a simple red cross, it is also our way of paying tribute to the ICRC.
In 2024, we’re working on distributing 2,000 SolarBuddy solar lamps to 2,000 children and families, and 2,000 homes across East Sumba. These villages and schools have no electricity. This project, in collaboration with SolarBuddy, Kawan Baik and Rotary International, will bring light to homes and schools.
After two years of uninterrupted success, our #PrimaryMedicalCare program is evolving in August 2024. With a stronger focus on advanced training for Kawan Sehat health agents, we aim to meet the immense healthcare needs, covering 20 of East Sumba’s 22 districts, and ensuring medical supplies for the next 12 months.
The Board of Directors held its annual meeting on 02.08.24, approving the 2023 accounts and ongoing projects. All members were reappointed, and Alex and the teams received congratulations from the Board. The Swiss Confederation approved the accounts and praised our excellent work.
We purchased a pump to test at the Laindatang drilling site for the Water Connections Phase 3 project. Over the past three days, we’ve been testing the pump to determine if the water flow is sufficient for 600 people after six months of drilling.
We are in the process of acquiring a second-hand truck for our upcoming field activities to transport medical supplies and construction materials. This vehicle will play a vital role in supporting our ongoing socio-medical initiatives.
