Fair Future’s planned construction of a 110m³ water tank in East Sumba will help address the severe water shortage. This vital project, if completed, will store rainwater for nearly 300 people, including 100 children, ensuring access to clean water in one of the driest regions in the world.
The Water, Nutrition & Survival category addresses core public health determinants that directly affect morbidity and mortality in ultra-rural settings.

Interventions follow WHO public health standards, combining water infrastructure, food support, hygiene promotion, and community education. This category highlights field-based actions that stabilize health, prevent avoidable disease, and support survival where resources and healthcare access remain critically limited.
