The Water Connections program aims to provide fair and safe access to clean water. This initiative not only prevents diseases and reduces health risks, but also sustains lives, decreases infant mortality, and promotes economic prosperity.
The Water Connections category documents long-term interventions designed to ensure safe and reliable water access in ultra-rural settings. Articles describe the planning, construction, and maintenance of wells, gravity systems, reservoirs, and distribution points, combined with basic sanitation and hygiene measures. These actions follow WHO water and public health standards, recognizing clean water as a core determinant of health. By reducing exposure to waterborne diseases, supporting hygiene, and improving daily living conditions, water connections contribute directly to lower morbidity, child health protection, and community resilience.
In Hambarita the Wai Pa Luri Wangu water tank is one of eight new reservoirs we built with the community. This 5 300 litre blue cylinder stands just a few steps from three houses and sixteen people, turning short rains into stored water for daily life, hygiene and basic medical care, instead of dangerous rides on motorbikes with heavy jerrycans.
In this image Kawan Sehat wound care happens on a bamboo floor where clinics are days away. The agent irrigates, debrides if needed, applies a sterile dressing, checks tetanus, and teaches danger signs. Early care stops infection before it spreads to the blood. This is how primary medicine prevents funerals.
This picture shows Hambarita water reservoir plaques resting on the grass moments before installation. Each plate carries a local name because water is treated like kin. When a tank is called by name, people maintain it, clean gutters, and guard the lid. Eight new reservoirs will store rain, cut disease, and return time to families.
The 114.7 m³ rainwater tank in Laindatang, named Matawai Urang, is now fully connected to gutters and filtration, ready to collect clean water for 300 residents. This rainwater tank Laindatang project also features an information panel, sharing the story of safe water access for the community.
Fair Future is pleased to release the final report of the Water Connections project in Hambarita. Over several months, eight ferrocement reservoirs were built, providing clean water to dozens of families. A serious effort, real impact, and lives transformed—thanks to all of you.
Eight ferro-cement reservoirs in Hambarita now provide safe, filtered water to 120 people. Built with local skills, they improve health, hygiene, and quality of life for decades in one of East Sumba’s most remote areas.
Fair Future built a 115,000-litre triple-filtered rainwater reservoir in remote Laindatang, East Sumba, overcoming extreme conditions to ensure clean water and health security.
In Laindatang, eight ferrocement reservoirs now provide clean water, transforming health and reducing disease. With a 113m³ tank underway, this project reshapes life for hundreds in an ultra-rural community.
In Hambarita, Fair Future builds 8 clean water tanks to serve 150 people living in ultra-rural poverty. With no roads, electricity, or healthcare, these reservoirs offer essential health protection.
In Laindatang, a child asked why he and his family are always sick. The answer lies in the water: diarrhea, typhoid, skin infections, hepatitis A. Fair Future fights back with clean water and frontline medical care.
Fair Future tackles taboos surrounding menstrual health by empowering girls with access to hygiene, medical care, and education. It’s not just about health: it’s about restoring dignity and equality.
We’re proud to share that Fair Future has fully funded the construction of a 110,000-liter water reservoir in Laindatang. CHF 12,642.13 (IDR 251,517,375) has been transferred to Indonesia. Construction begins in June 2025 and will benefit the communities of Laindatang and Hambarita. More Clean water is coming!
