True stories. Real people. Humanitarian action in motion.
Here you’ll find stories from the field—100% real, 100% original. Every article is written by us, by those who live these moments, walk these roads, and treat these illnesses. We write them by hand, after the long days, often from tents or remote villages, because we believe in showing what’s real.
The people, the lives, the wounds, the repairs—this is not fiction. This is our daily reality in ultra-rural Indonesia. Every photo is taken by us. Every word comes from those who act. From emergency responses and clean water to child health and malaria cases, these stories reflect both the daily struggles and the incredible strength of those we serve.
Our News page is more than just updates. It’s a record of direct action. A collection of emotions, medical cases, construction progress, and social encounters. We don’t write for clicks—we write for those who care, those who want to know, and those who support our mission.
It’s raw, human, sometimes difficult, but always true. Read them, share them, let them move you. This is how change begins—with knowledge, emotion, and connection.
Alex Wettstein – Fair Future Foundation – Updated in June 2025
Every donation becomes something real
Not just a promise, but a commitment: genuine medical care in villages where no one else goes. It provides clean water systems that prevent children from falling ill. It brings light to schools and clinics, making nights safer, ensuring vaccines don’t spoil, and preventing families from being left in darkness. What you give turns into real action on the ground — care, water, protection — delivered to people living days away from any form of help.
