<\/a>Fair Future and Kawan Baik teach families how to recognise, prevent, and treat malaria.<\/p><\/div>\n
East Sumba Malaria Prevention Project: Field Results 2025<\/strong><\/h4>\nThis programme addressed malaria transmission in remote East Sumba<\/strong> through a practical package of community education, vector control, personal protection, and diagnostic enhancement. Planning and coordination with the District Health Office<\/strong>, Puskesmas<\/strong> teams, village leaders<\/strong>, and schools<\/strong> took place from August 22 to 27, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\nReinforcements for the IRS team occurred on 9 September. Field activities then commenced: indoor residual spraying on 10 to 11 September in Laitipi Hamlet<\/a>, followed by education sessions and bed net distribution from 23 to 26 September across four hamlets.<\/p>\nCommunity education engaged 302 participants<\/strong>. Sessions focused on recognising early symptoms, when to test, adhering to correct treatment, and reducing risks at home. Public messages remained visible through 20 large billboards<\/strong> and 270 posters<\/a> displayed at markets, schools, and health posts with local permissions.<\/p>\nVector control targeted houses with measured wall surfaces to ensure correct dosage. Seventeen houses in Laitipi were sprayed, covering an area of 1,943 m\u00b2<\/strong> of interior walls. Teams adhered to WHO-aligned procedures<\/a> regarding surface preparation, PPE use, re-entry timing, and record keeping, briefing households before and after application.<\/p>\nPersonal protection<\/a> was enhanced through the distribution of 146 long-lasting insecticidal nets<\/strong> (previously 450 were distributed<\/em><\/a>) to sleeping groups identified as unprotected<\/strong>. Distribution was accompanied by demonstrations on hanging, nightly use, and simple repairs, with follow-up checks to confirm proper installation.<\/p>\nDiagnostic capacity was improved through technical training<\/a> for 28 laboratory<\/strong> analysts. The curriculum included microscope maintenance, optics alignment, slide preparation, parasite density counting, and a proficiency test using a malaria slide panel with feedback. This aimed to reduce false negatives<\/strong> and positives in primary care, thereby facilitating more accurate treatment decisions.<\/p>\nOperations were managed by mixed teams from Fair Future Foundation<\/a> and Kawan Baik Indonesia<\/a>, working in daily coordination with local authorities. As with all our programmes, the Foundation\u2019s leadership was present on the ground throughout all stages<\/strong>\u2014from design to final assessment\u2014<\/em>to ensure quality and the efficient use of funds.<\/p>\nWe are grateful to Rotary International<\/a>, Malaria Partners International<\/a>, and our supporters<\/a> in Switzerland for their financing and trusted<\/strong> partnership. Thanks are also due to Kawan Baik Indonesia<\/a>, Kawan Sehat<\/a> health agents, village leaders, Puskesmas staff, teachers, volunteers, and families whose efforts made this work possible.<\/p>\nAll documents are publicly accessible<\/strong>, including the final report<\/a> and comprehensive accounting annexes<\/a>.
