Nine Reservoir Panels Show How Safe Water Transforms Health and Daily Life
Information boards highlighting the impact of reservoirs on East Sumba communities
Nine Reservoirs – Nine Stories of Water, Health, and Community
This gallery showcases the official information panels placed beside each of the nine reservoirs built by the Fair Future Foundation and its partners in Laindatang e Hambarita. These infrastructural marvels address critical water scarcity issues, leveraging Swiss expertise in water management, a field in which the Fair Future Foundation has been a leader for 16 years.
Matawai Urang, a towering 114 m³ giant, serves hundreds of people in Laindatang, while the other eight are ferro-cement rainwater tanks in Hambarita, each holding between 4,400 and 5,300 litres and serving around 15 people. These panels, measuring 1.5 x 1 meters, convey not only technical specifications—such as each tank’s capacity, construction date, location, and families served—but also the vital impact on daily lives. By providing safe, filtered rainwater for drinking, cooking, washing, and hygiene, these reservoirs significantly reduce waterborne diseases and improve overall health.
More than just water sources, these reservoirs are pivotal to community welfare. They liberate children from long treks for unsafe water, allow women more time for family, economic pursuits, and education, and integrate seamless health practices into daily routines. Serving over 240 people in East Sumba’s remotest areas, they symbolise solidarietà e ingegno.
The panels act as informative beacons to visitors and a testimony to the Fair Future Foundation e Kawan Baik Indonesia’s unwavering commitment to fostering sustainable health outcomes through innovative community-driven solutions.
