Some images of our medical-social camp in Sumba Timur, NTT, Indonesia. Rumah Kambera
The Fair Future and Kawan Baik Medico-Social Base Camp in Eastern Indonesia.
At Casa Kambera, Fair Future, Amici buoni and all our friends here focus on absolute emergencies, such as access to primary and emergency medical care, the creation of sanitation solutions and access to clean water -il #waterconnections projects-, and access to water sources. renewable energy, healthy food, and disaster relief. But also so that more children can access school and quality education.
Un futuro giusto integrates, across its actions and field programs, the principles of community risks and of what is good or bad for communities, people, children, and villages.
A house for us, a house for them. The Foundation develops and implements actions in eastern Indonesia (NTT) and East Sumba. To do so, we decided to coordinate our efforts from the site now known as “Rumah Kambera Base Camp” in the country’s eastern regions. In a village near Waingapu called Lambanapu.
A place where everyone is welcome to lend a hand, offer a help project, or collaborate with the FFoFoundation’s volunteersand collaborators as part of their activities and programs. In addition, it is a place for exchanges, conferences, training, and workshops; a public organic garden; and an area for experimentation on what works and what does not.
Rumah Kambera is a place to coordinate all our socio-medical and educational activities in favour of children, women, and communities in rural and peripheral regions where access to water, electricity, education or health care is almost non-existent.
This highly symbolic place in East Sumba is Rumah Kambera, which operates at full capacity, almost 24 hours a day. Successive collaborators are all members of our two foundations, but three people are now assigned full-time. Kawan Ino, Kwan Primus, and Kawan Elthon are from Sumba and oversee our base camp. But they are never alone, as other teams take turns on missions that often lasttwo to three months on site.
The activities implemented there are extraordinary, unique, innovative, and original. There is in this simple place a dynamic that one rarely sees elsewhere. As with a natural disaster, we can find ourselves there by the tens, even more than a hundred.
Those who make our base camp possible are the teams from Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, volunteers, doctors, nurses, architects, builders, logisticians, water access specialists, and deep-drilling specialists. It’s a magical place, and we can’t stop thanking them from the bottom of our hearts.

In Short | A base that made continuity possible
Before programs expanded, before trucks and large-scale projects, Rumah Kambera made continuity possible. A place to store medicines, train health agents, welcome patients and coordinate action. It quietly became the backbone of everything that followed in East Sumba.

Rumah Kambera medico sociale di base
Una base permanente per l'azione medica
Rumah Kambera Non è un edificio. È un sistema funzionante. Un luogo progettato per risolvere problemi che non compaiono sulle mappe o nei fogli di calcolo. In East Sumba, dove la distanza, l’isolamento e la mancanza di infrastrutture modellano la vita quotidiana, questa base consente di mantenere la continuità, la coordinazione e l’efficacia delle azioni mediche e sociali.
Qui i medicinali vengono conservati, controllati e preparati prima di essere spediti ai villaggi più remoti. L’acqua viene testata, non intuita. Le lampade solari vengono controllate individualmente prima di essere distribuite ai bambini privi di accesso all’energia elettrica. I sistemi di igiene vengono costruiti, testati e migliorati sul posto. I veicoli vengono caricati, riparati e restituiti al servizio. I team si formano, riflettono, analizzano e si adattano.
Rumah Kambera È dove Primary Medical Care è possibile operare senza interruzioni, dove Water Connections sono pianificate e fornite le risorse necessarie. È dove le Kawan Against Malaria azioni sono coordinate e le emergenze vengono affrontate rapidamente, poiché i ritardi costano vite umane. È anche il luogo in cui i team vivono, si riposano brevemente e si preparano per il prossimo viaggio.
Completamente alimentata da energia solare e autonoma in acqua, la base funziona indipendentemente, per necessità. Sostenendo silenziosamente gli sforzi di salute, prevenzione e sopravvivenza per quasi un milione di persone in tutta la regione.
Ogni immagine in questa galleria mostra la stessa cosa: un luogo costruito per durare, perché lasciare non è un’opzione.
