The Fair Future Foundation in East Indonesia is dedicated to eradicating social and medical injustices by ensuring access to healthcare, clean water, and education for all.
Il nome di questo piccolo ragazzo è Assaria, ha nove anni. Ha ustioni di terzo grado su oltre 24% parti del corpo e necessita di cure chirurgiche. Non sta bene e dobbiamo trovare una soluzione insieme. Non riesce quasi a camminare a causa delle terribili ustioni alle gambe e alla schiena.
What the foundation is setting up is innovativo e 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 Amici buoni 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 Casa 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 access to 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.
Fair Future issues an intense red alert linked to the case of malaria, which is reaching a critical level here in East Sumba, Indonesia. For weeks, thousands of malaria cases have been recorded here in East Sumba. This figure is nevertheless to be taken conditionally because, in many villages, people do not have an identity card or a family book…
Questa fotografia è stata scattata da Kawan Elthon, alla fine di novembre 2022, in uno dei Water Connections luoghi del progetto. Presenta un bambino della zona di Mbinudita, un piccolo villagio nell'est di Sumba che non ha accesso all'acqua (o ancora non ancora, ma presto). Quando ha bisogno di acqua, deve camminare per ore e portare con sé una o due bombole da cinque litri, che spesso riempie di acqua sporca. Di conseguenza, spesso si ammala e deve assumere così tante persone.
Ma lì, mentre Fair Future e Kawan Baik stanno costruendo nuovi servizi igienici, l’acqua pulita e disponibile scorre da uno dei trenta serbatoi di oltre 100.000 litri. 6.000 litri che abbiamo costruito.
È magico vedere questo bambino guardare per la prima volta nella sua vita all’acqua che scorre da un tubo. Trovo tutto questo straordinario. Mi dà la forza di continuare nel nostro lavoro.
Estratto e descrizione di questo breve articolo | Nell'ambito della partenza della Truck of Life settimana #2 di dicembre 2022 per Sumba East e il nostro campo base medico-sociale, abbiamo ancora un po' di spazio disponibile per caricare attrezzature come attrezzature mediche, medicine e vestiti per bambini e neonati che non utilizzate più.

Thanks to the water we fetch deep in the ground via one of the deep boreholes already drilled, we can supply one of the thirty reservoirs built, including this one, for the Water Connections Project qui in Mbinudita,
This facility will enable approximately 25 families to live healthier and more hygienic lives. This improvement decreases exposure to diseases caused by unclean water or lack of toilets.
Since August 2021, our teams have been at work. We have built over thirty Clean Water Tanks and now nearly twenty sanitary facilities for the Water Connections Project qui in Mbinudita, East Sumba.
This work could not be done with our hands because the staff of Fair Future and Amici buoni are on site; it comes down to eight people employed on the sites. These women and men from this poor and ultra-rural region are the real heroes of the projects we are carrying out.
They are the ones who, for years (previously with the Mbinudita scuola), have been working with us. They are part of our family now.
Water connections create a clean water network for families from rural areas in eastern Indonesia. Each facility includes gender-specific toilets, showers and access to life-sustaining drinking water.
These water points also aim to improve people's health, especially children. From a single borehole, we create water networks using the slope of the land, solar energy or hydrodynamic pumps.
Water to reduce infant mortality, birth problems and serious illnesses linked to the consumption of unsanitary water. Improving living conditions, creating economic opportunity, creating wealth and creating mental well-being
This photo is from this week. In the regions where we are active, tens of thousands of people cannot use the toilets. Do you know why? Quite simply because they don't have any, because they don't have water and no financial resources to ensure their construction.
The inhabitants, therefore, have no other means than to relieve themselves in fields, bushes, forests, ditches, streets, canals or other open areas. In our view, this is not only an attack on dignity but, above all, enormous risks to the health of families, especially vulnerable people: children, the elderly, pregnant women and the chronically ill. That's why we continue to build healthy sanitary facilities at this time with the "Water Connections" program in East Sumba.
