Casa Kambera
A permanent community socio-medical centre in Kawangu, built to strengthen care, medicine supply and field logistics across East Sumba.
- A field base since 2019
- 4,200 m² site in Kawangu
- Phase 1 is the next construction stage
A permanent place for care that must keep moving
Rumah Kambera is where programmes meet reality. Medicines are prepared here. Health agents train here. Vehicles leave for villages from here. Water and solar equipment are stored, repaired and sent into the field from here.
The rented base used since 2019 can no longer safely carry the scale of this work. On foundation-owned land in Kawangu, the future Rumah Kambera Community Socio-Medical Centre is being developed as a permanent operational base for community care, medicine supply, diagnostics and field logistics.

Il programma
The place where separate programmes become one health system
Safe care in a remote district depends on more than a consultation. It depends on medicines that can be stored correctly, basic diagnostics, prepared teams, reliable logistics and a base able to continue through heat, rain and distance.
Rumah Kambera has operated as Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia’s field base since 2019. It connects Primary Medical Care, Kawan Sehat agents, Water Connections, solar and electrification, prevention, research, emergency response and community activity.
Phase 1 is deliberately focused on the operational core. It is planned to include a pharmacy, a small laboratory, clinical space, medical storage, field-logistics areas, parking and sanitation. The workshop, expanded training areas and additional technical or community spaces belong to later phases as funding allows.
The centre will not replace hospitals or public health centres. It will make community care, preparation and referral safer, better supplied and easier to sustain.
In un colpo d'occhio

From site to service
A permanent centre built in useful phases
The project is being delivered step by step so that the first building can become operational without waiting for the whole centre to be completed.
Secure the ground
The foundation-owned site is surveyed and organised around access, drainage, existing conditions and East Sumba’s climate.
Establish essentials
Water, electricity, site preparation and a safe perimeter make construction and future daily work possible.
Build Phase 1
The first building is planned around clinical space, a secure pharmacy, a small laboratory, medical storage, field logistics, parking and sanitation.
Put the core to work
Medicines, diagnostics, stock systems, patient follow-up and mission preparation can begin from a permanent operational base.
Expand later
The workshop, expanded training areas and additional technical and community spaces can follow as financing allows.
Infrastructure is part of care
A stronger base, with clear clinical boundaries
Rumah Kambera will strengthen the first links in the care pathway: preparation, prevention, safe storage, early assessment, training, documentation and referral. It is designed to support formal services, not imitate or replace them.
What the centre can support
- Prepare medical outreach and appropriate first-line community care
- Store medicines and supplies in secure, traceable conditions
- Support defined basic diagnostics and water-quality analysis
- Train Kawan Sehat agents through practical sessions and case review
- Provide health education, community meetings and coordinated follow-up
- Prepare records, supplies and transport before teams leave for remote villages
What still requires formal services
- Emergency stabilisation, ambulance pathways and hospital admission
- Specialist diagnosis and treatment beyond the team’s competence
- Surgery, inpatient care and advanced laboratory investigation
- Government vaccination services and statutory disease surveillance
- Management of severe or uncertain illness requiring a higher level of care
- Referral decisions that must remain under qualified medical responsibility
Local work on the Kawangu site. The centre is being built from field reality, local skills and operational needs.
Inside Phase 1
A compact clinical and logistics core first
The first building is not the whole future centre. It is the operational core we hope to start first, with the spaces needed to keep medicines, basic diagnostics, clinical work and field missions organised in one place.
See the materials and technical choices being prepared for Building 1, including floor tiles, paint colours, doors and windows.
Clinical space
A small care area for appropriate assessment, follow-up and preparation before referral when needed.
Pharmacy & laboratory
Secure medicine storage alongside a small laboratory for defined basic diagnostic and analytical work.
Medical storage & logistics
Protected supplies, stock preparation and field-logistics space for teams leaving for remote communities.
Parking & sanitation
Practical access, loading space and safe sanitation are part of making the building usable every day.
Later phases: the workshop, expanded training areas and additional technical or community spaces will be developed as funding allows.
Quali cambiamenti nella pratica
The centre will turn distance into organised readiness
Medicines ready before departure
Secure storage, stock records and dedicated preparation space will reduce avoidable shortages, losses and rushed field departures.
Training becomes continuous
Kawan Sehat agents and local teams will have a permanent place to practise protocols, review cases and strengthen clinical judgement.
Water and health evidence meet
A small laboratory will help analyse water quality and connect technical infrastructure with infection prevention and measured health risk.
Local work builds lasting capacity
Local masons, carpenters, technicians, drivers, trainers, suppliers and health workers contribute skills that remain useful beyond construction.

Lavarsi le mani Rumah Kambera inizia con una pianificazione accurata
Rotary Australia, il Rotary Club di Mandurah Districts e John Kevan sostengono la realizzazione di strutture per il lavaggio delle mani nel nuovo centro Rumah Kambera. Vasche accessibili e campagne di educazione alla sanità serviranno sia bambini che adulti. L’installazione è prevista per il 2027, con l’ubicazione, le infrastrutture idrauliche e i costi ancora da definire.
50 camion di Sirtu sono già presenti sul cantiere di Rumah Kambera
Cinquantadue dei 100 camion di sirtu pianificati sono già arrivati a Rumah Kambera. Lavorando dalle 6 alle 20, l’équipe riceve quotidianamente 25 carichi. Si prevede che questo ritmo continui per altri due giorni. Successivamente valuteremo se siano necessari altri materiali prima di livellare le 100 pile per rendere la superficie il più piatta possibile.
Rumah Kambera Il Muro di Contenzione è Completato
Rumah Kambera Il muro di confine è stato completato dopo quasi due mesi e mezzo, compreso il cantiere della struttura in legno centrale. Il livello nord-est è previsto in seguito, con circa 100 camion di sirtu terra che dovrebbero sollevare circa 20% dei 4.200 m² del lotto per ottenere un rialzo di 50–60 cm per il futuro centro medico.
Dal Piano ai Materiali Rumah Kambera
Una rappresentazione architettonica del Building 1 Rumah Kambera accompagna il documento di progettazione interno che definisce i pavimenti, i colori delle vernici, le porte e le finestre per le aree mediche e i laboratori. Alcuni dettagli devono ancora essere confermati prima che i lavori passino dai disegni alla fase di costruzione.
La parete finale di Rumah Kambera
I lavori sulla parte finale del muro di Rumah Kambera confine sono in corso a Kawangu, nella East Sumba. Si prevede che le mura saranno completate la prossima settimana. Successivamente sirtu, una miscela di sabbia e pietra verrà spalmata e compattata per livellare il terreno scosceso nella parte nord-orientale del sito, prima che inizi la costruzione al centro.
Un sito web per il Rumah Kambera Centro Futuro
Un sito web dedicato segue ora il progetto del Centro Socio-Medico Rumah Kambera Comunale di East Sumba. La rendering architettonica mostra la proposta, mentre il nuovo microsito spiega lo scopo del centro, i piani e i progressi della costruzione. Seguite il lavoro mentre ogni fase prende forma.
L'elettricità raggiunge il Rumah Kambera sito
L'energia elettrica è arrivata sul sito del futuro Centro Socio-Medico Rumah Kambera Comunale di Kawangu, nell'East Sumba, qualche settimana fa. La sua corrente di alimentazione di 2.200 watt consente le attività di costruzione di base e fornisce luce notturna nel lopo quando il team rimane a dormire sulla terra durante la costruzione.
Rumah Kambera CHF 19.000 per il Future Centre
Due donazioni per un totale di 19.000 franchi portano il finanziamento per il futuro Centro Socio-Medico Rumah Kambera Comunale a quasi 40% delle necessarie risorse. A Kawangu, nella Sumba orientale, è in corso la costruzione di un sito destinato alla cura sanitaria, alla formazione e alla logistica per le comunità rurali.
Indagine topografica di Kawangu | Costruzione su base misurata
È stato completato un sopralluogo topografico presso il futuro sito dell’ufficio centrale della FFF-KBI a Sumba a Kawangu. Sono stati misurati e mappati altimetri, contorni, strade, drenaggi e caratteristiche esistenti a scala da 1 a 1000, fornendo al progetto una base tecnica affidabile prima dell’inizio della prossima fase di costruzione sul posto.
Rumah Kambera 2.0 Inizia la perforazione | Fair Future
Rumah Kambera 2.0 La perforazione rappresenta il primo passo fisico verso la nuova base socio-medica di Fair Future Foundation’s a East Sumba. Dopo due giorni di lavoro, è stato trovato dell’acqua potabile, rendendo possibile la futura costruzione, la vita sul campo e la cura dei pazienti sul sito.
Il concetto di base socio-medica 2026 è stato presentato a Sumba
Il Sumba HQ Concept 2026 rappresenta un passo decisivo in avanti. Rumah Kambera Non è più possibile sostenere le nostre attività mediche e sociali. Siamo troppo piccoli, strutturalmente esausti e limitiamo il nostro impatto. Con la terra acquisita a Kawangu, questa nuova base socio-medica è progettata per rafforzare l’accesso alle cure sanitarie e la presenza sul campo a lungo termine nell’East Sumba.
L'espansione del magazzino per aumentare le forniture mediche e i laboratori
Estendiamo il nostro magazzino presso il Rumah Kambera! Inizialmente, esso conterrà forniture mediche e 2.200 SolarBuddy lampade donate da Rotary e SolarBuddy. Nel 2025 ospiterà anche un piccolo progetto di laboratorio. Clicca qui per visualizzare i piani e vedere come questo nuovo stabilimento supporterà la nostra missione. Grazie!
Fundraising and accountability
A centre is only credible when the work remains visible
We publish construction stages, technical studies, field use and funding milestones as the project moves forward. Because funding changes as new support arrives, the dedicated Rumah Kambera website now carries the current project record rather than fixing a percentage here that quickly becomes outdated.
Il completed boundary wall at Rumah Kambera marks a documented stage in preparing the site for the future centre.
