When there is no water on-site, and you have to fetch it, it is mainly women and young girls who take up their time and miss out on opportunities.

For women, the opportunity costs of water collection are high and have far-reaching implications. Having to fetch water drastically reduces the time they can spend with their families and care for their children, do household chores or even enjoy hobbies. For both boys and girls, collecting water can interfere with studies, sometimes even preventing them from going to school altogether.

Collecting water can harm the health of the whole family, especially children. If there is no access to water at home, even if the water comes from a safe source, the fact that it is transported and stored increases the risk that it will be contaminated with faeces before it is used. 

Water Connections: Our teams are changing that; for years, we have been designing, manufacturing and supplying water connections to villages in ultra-rural regions. Fair Future improves life Pour des dizaines de milliers de personnes.

“The first step when there is no doctor” includes fourteen modules of theoretical training and Pratique exercises explaining how to act in the event of a medical emergency. It is intended for teachers in rural schools of East Indonesia.

This book was entirely produced by the Un avenir juste et Amis proches foundations. It is based on the book "Where There Is No Doctor" by David Wegner.

From now on, it serves as a reference work for the training of teachers in the rural areas of eastern Indonesia. This book includes all the information on prevention, patient care, first aid and how to treat a wound, burn or bite. He learns to give essential drugs, cardiac massage and all the gestures that save a life.

You can see the work done by the foundation's medical teams here in the .PDF version we make available. Everything has been translated, revised, corrected and adapted to specific local compartments.

Le Regent est un bon ami de la fondation ; nous collaborons depuis plus de deux ans. De plus, il est un ami personnel de Alexandre Wettstein, Le PDG de Fair Future. 

Alors que leur avion Kupang En arrivant, le Regent et sa femme sont venus directement nous rendre visite dans la salle de classe. C’était une grande joie pour nous, tout comme pour tous les enseignants qui ont participé à cette première journée de formation. C’était aussi un véritable honneur.

On pouvait entendre Khristofel Praing and his wife speak about this program with eloquent and laudatory words. The Regent told us that this program is sensational and beneficial. Indeed, as we have already explained, access to primary medical care here is almost impossible in eastern Indonesia's most rural and isolated regions.

Des eaux propres et saines sont désormais distribuées presque partout ici Mbinudita, dans l’est de Sumba. Ces eaux propres et saines alimentent plus de trente réservoirs et vingt installations sanitaires. Tout cela au bénéfice de plus de 2 500 personnes, dont près de 65% sont des enfants.

Les gens sont heureux, et c'est un changement significatif dans leur vie. Ils doivent également s'habituer à vivre avec de l'eau propre pour changer leurs habitudes. Imaginez : avoir vécu une vie sans avoir accès aux toilettes, sans avoir accès à de l'eau propre, et être constamment malade… Il faut s'habituer à se sentir mieux et à avoir plus de temps pour soi. Changer ses habitudes ? C'est là que se situe le défi le plus important.

What the foundation is setting up is innovant et ingenious and cannot be done without the help of nearly a hundred teachers from the poorest and rural areas of East Sumba. And yes, teachers, like everywhere in the world, are the most influential people in the villages.

During these three or four training days, they will learn how to treat a wound and give first aid to an injured or sick child so that his situation does not worsen and becomes much more severe. But also, above all, determining when to call a doctor or go to the nearest medical centre. 

A simple picture is that of the book "Kawan Sehat", which means "the healthy friend", on which Amis proches and Fair Future have been working for a few months. We are happy because the book is now finished, printed and ready to be loaded into the Truck of Life, which will leave tomorrow evening (08.12.22) for a five-day journey towards our La maison de Kambera Base Camp.

As a reminder, this book features three characters around the themes of a healthier life, how not to get sick, avoid injuries, and everyday sores. It is aimed at children from the ultra-rural regions of eastern Indonesia, where we work. It is one of the tools set up as part of the program for accès à primary medical care intended for children in ultra-peripheral regions.

We invite you to get to know "Kawan Sehat" in .PDF format, in its latest version, by clicking on this link. Happy reading, Kawan.

Residents of rural villages do not have access to primary care, and most medical centres are often several hours' walk away. The harshness of life here means that we are often injured, but nothing is available to treat us – no doctor, knowledge, medical equipment and, of course, no antiseptic or medicine.

These injuries can lead to the death of a child or an adult if they get worse. We must therefore act quickly. Fair Future has for years empowered schools and families in ultra-rural communities to take action in the event of an accident.

Today, we are taking a new step in this program.
