We will construct eight ferrocement tanks in Hambarita to provide clean water to isolated families. Six of these are currently funded, but two remain unfunded. 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
At Fair Future, our ethical code extends beyond mere words; it forms the foundation of our identity.
We are guided by six pillars: Humanity, Impartiality, Transparency, Neutrality, Independence, and Responsibility.
We support vulnerable communities not because it is easy, but because it is the right thing to do. We operate in places where others do not—free from political, religious, or economic motivations. Every franc we give is treated as sacred: over 93% directly supports our on-the-ground initiatives. Our independence ensures our integrity. Our neutrality fosters trust. Furthermore, we bear a significant responsibility—we are accountable to the people we assist, not remote offices.
Whether treating a child with malaria, constructing a water system, or trekking for days to access a remote village, these six principles consistently guide us. They serve not only as our compass but also as our commitment to life, dignity, and justice in the most overlooked areas of the world.
This is Fair Future. This is our ethic.

The Foundation Six Pillars
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 is 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.
