Through the Primary Medical Care program, Kawan Sehat health workers provide treatment for fevers, wounds, and malaria in villages lacking access to doctors. They carry essential medicines, adhere to established medical protocols, and refer emergency cases promptly to prevent delays in care.

True stories. Real people. Humanitarian action in motion.
Here youâll find stories from the fieldâ100% real, 100% original. Every article is written by us, by those who live these moments, walk these roads, and treat these illnesses. We write them by hand, after the long days, often from tents or remote villages, because we believe in showing whatâs real.
The people, the lives, the wounds, the repairsâthis is not fiction. This is our daily reality in ultra-rural Indonesia. Every photo is taken by us. Every word comes from those who act. From emergency responses and clean water to child health and malaria cases, these stories reflect both the daily struggles and the incredible strength of those we serve.
Our News page is more than just updates. Itâs a record of direct action. A collection of emotions, medical cases, construction progress, and social encounters. We donât write for clicksâwe write for those who care, those who want to know, and those who support our mission.
Itâs raw, human, sometimes difficult, but always true. Read them, share them, let them move you. This is how change beginsâwith knowledge, emotion, and connection.

Skin infection prevention in rural Indonesia
Skin infections are not cosmetic. In ultra rural areas, small cuts, insect bites, or scratched skin can quickly become dangerous infections. Heat, dirty water, and delayed care increase the risk. Early cleaning and simple prevention save lives every day in the field.
Extreme heat health risks in ultra-rural care
Extreme heat is not just weather in ultra-rural communities. It is a medical risk that worsens dehydration, malnutrition, and infections. From the field, we see how simple actions and early recognition of heat illness save lives every day.
Kawan Sehat Medical App â Offline care in rural regions
In ultra rural Indonesia, access to medical care depends on distance, roads, and signal. The Kawan Sehat Medical App was created to change that reality by enabling trained community health agents to deliver structured primary medical care without internet access, while generating reliable medical data for long term action.
Hand Hygiene in Rural Indonesia | Disease Prevention
Hand hygiene rural Indonesia remains one of the most overlooked yet critical medical challenges in ultra-rural communities. Where water, soap, and sanitation are missing, infections spread easily. Education and simple infrastructure become powerful medical tools when healthcare access is limited.
Malaria Screening in Rural Indonesia | Swiss Medical Fieldwork
Beyond the rapid test, each screening includes education, explanation, and practical advice. This moment of dialogue often becomes the first real medical consultation families have ever received, turning a diagnosis into immediate protection.
Mbajik Solar Evaluation Through Childrenâs Eyes
This Mbajik solar evaluation began at night, not with tools but with a film. Children and adults gathered to watch themselves on screen, for the second time. The first was in October, during installation. This time, it was different. This time, electricity was already part of their lives.
Solar Light for Children in Ultra-Rural Regions
This new picture of the day shows solar light for children delivered through patience and care. In an ultra-rural classroom, a lamp is not simply handed over. Time is taken to explain, to show, to ensure understanding. For children living without electricity, light means safety, learning, and dignity once the sun goes down.
Kawan Sehat Ultra-Rural Medical Care in Eastern Indonesia
In eastern Indonesia, ultra-rural medical care depends on people who walk where vehicles cannot go. In regions cut off from roads, electricity, and doctors, Kawan Sehat health agents provide first-line treatment, prevention, and education. Their work fills the growing gaps left by under-equipped Puskesmas and overstretched hospitals.
Water Reservoir Graduation Scale Protecting Community Health
Inside the Laindatang reservoir, a graduation scale measures every ten-thousand litres of stored water. This precise tool allows safe monitoring, controlled use, and long-term protection of clean water. In ultra-rural villages, measuring water accurately is not technical detail. It is prevention and survival.
Laindatang Water Filtration System | Preventive Health
Before water reaches the tank in Laindatang, it is filtered by hand. Custom-built filtration modules remove debris, organic matter, and insects, reducing contamination risks. This system turns rainwater harvesting into preventive medicine for families living far from any medical infrastructure.
Clean Water Roof in Laindatang | Medical Water Safety
A light steel roof now protects the Laindatang reservoir, shielding filtered rainwater from heat, light, and contamination. Built with villagers by Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, this structure turns rainfall into safe drinking water and prevents avoidable disease.
Laindatang water reservoir work â sealed interior
Laindatang water reservoir work required transforming raw concrete into a sealed chamber through seven protective layers. Each layer prevents contamination, stabilises the structure, and protects the health of families. This technical process is essential for long term safe water in East Sumba.
