We will construct seven ferrocement tanks in Laindatang to provide clean water to isolated families. Three of these are funded, but four are still needed. We require CHF 2,300.- for each tank. Your support guarantees access to clean water for the most remote communities. Donate now and be part of this life-changing project.

The Fair Future Foundation’s Code of Ethics – Rooted in Principles, Motivated by Influence
Our work is grounded in six steadfast pillars that underpin our ethical dedication and propel our mission. These core values influence every decision we make, impact every individual we assist, and strengthen each community we support. Collectively, they serve as the foundation of what we do, allowing us to effect meaningful and enduring change.
Social Justice for Everyone
We are committed to the principle that everyone should have equal access to healthcare, clean water, education, and opportunities, no matter their situation. Social justice is more than a value; it’s our mission. By focusing on ultra-rural areas and tackling the deep-seated inequalities experienced by marginalized communities, we strive to promote fairness and dignity for all individuals.
Empowerment
Empowerment is central to our mission. With initiatives such as #WaterConnections and #PrimaryMedicalCare, we equip communities with the tools they need for self-reliance and resilience. By training local health workers, developing sustainable water infrastructures, and sharing knowledge that encourages independence, empowerment becomes integral to driving change—not just what we do but how we make a difference.
Balance and Equity
Equity is central to our mission. We understand the specific challenges that women, children, and marginalized communities in highly rural areas encounter. Our programs aim to address these imbalances by fostering fairness and inclusivity, ensuring everyone can progress together.
Commitment
We are fully committed to our mission. For more than 15 years, we have focused on enhancing lives in Southeast Asia, especially within Indonesia’s most remote regions. This dedication encompasses all members of our foundation—from volunteers to donors—as we collectively strive for a brighter future for the communities we support. Partnering with like-minded organizations and individuals amplifies our impact.
Independence
We function with complete autonomy, unaffected by political, religious, or economic pressures. Our funding primarily depends on private donations, allowing us to concentrate solely on the needs of the communities we serve. This independence enables us to operate transparently and ethically while consistently putting humanity at the forefront of our efforts.
Perseverance
Perseverance is essential when working in some of the world’s most challenging environments. Whether combating malaria and polio outbreaks or constructing water systems in remote villages, we encounter significant obstacles daily. However, our perseverance—shared by our committed team and supporters—empowers us to overcome these challenges and achieve tangible results.
A Unified Goal, A Joint Duty
Our Ethical Code is more than just a collection of principles—it’s an invitation to action. These six values inform our decisions, influence our projects, and motivate our team of nearly 100 volunteers. We are united in addressing the underlying causes of inequality and developing sustainable solutions that enhance lives.
The essence of our Code of Ethics is captured in the words of Mahatma Gandhi, who stated, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” By adhering to our ethical principles, we embody this change, working tirelessly to craft a fairer, more equitable future.
