In 2008, Alex founded the Fair Future Foundation, a Swiss-registered humanitarian organisation dedicated to bringing medical care, clean water infrastructure, and social programs to some of the most isolated villages of East Indonesia. Working with local teams, he develops practical, community-based solutions that save lives: primary medical care, infectious disease prevention, access to clean water, education programs, and field logistics adapted to extreme terrain.
