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.

See Rumah Kambera as it is being planned and built
The dedicated Rumah Kambera website brings the project together in one place: the interactive 3D model, new architectural views, construction phases, current works and project updates from Kawangu.
Four architectural views from the October 2026 SketchUp series. The full project record and interactive model are available on the dedicated website.
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
- DoveKawangu, Pandawai, East Sumba, Indonesia
- ChiTeams and programmes working across a population basin of around 300,000 people. This is a catchment area, not a forecast patient count.

- StatusFoundation-owned land, site preparation under way and Phase 1 planned as funding allows
The present Rumah Kambera has supported medical supplies, training, coordination and daily field preparation for years.
The foundation-owned land is being developed for long-term medical, community and logistical use.

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.

Rumah Kambera medico sociale in Indonesia rurale
Fornisce una base medica e sociale permanente in aree rurali dell’Indonesia, consentendo la fornitura di assistenza sanitaria, la logistica medica, la formazione e le operazioni di emergenza nei villaggi orientali remoti di East Sumba, Rumah Kambera dove non esiste alcuna infrastruttura pubblica.
Altre grandi sfide per i nostri team sulla strada verso NTT
Avviso di partenza dei membri dei nostri team di campo, per i seguenti programmi: Il programma water connections, acqua pulita e sicura nelle aree rurali – Raccolta di dati sulle condizioni di vita delle famiglie nelle aree rurali – Fornire assistenza di base in caso di emergenza a tutti i bambini, con kit di pronto soccorso per ogni scuola/villaggio – Salute di base e assistenza medica…
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.
