Our last News
The essentials
Primary Medical Care (PMC)
Life‑saving care where no doctors are available
In villages without clinics, our Kawan Sehat health agents—mostly women—provide first aid, wound treatment, antimalarials, antibiotics, fever management, and referrals. They see 700–1,000 patients each month across East Sumba. Ongoing training and resupply—guided by a 150‑page manual and regular intensive sessions—ensure care remains safe and consistent. Your support funds medicines, diagnostics, and supervision that save lives.
Clean Water Connections
Every drop collected is a life protected.
Since 2019, we have constructed dozens of ferro-cement tanks ranging from 5,000 to 5,350 litres, working alongside families, and a 115 m³ reservoir in Laindatang to ensure access to clean water. New projects in Lapinu add more tanks and sanitation blocks. Access to water reduces diarrheal diseases, improves nutrition, and enables girls to remain in school. Simple tools, local labour, and durable designs enable communities to maintain these systems independently.
Kawan Against Malaria
Prevention, diagnosis, treatment—village by village
Malaria remains endemic in East Sumba. We deploy long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), rapid blood tests, treatment, and IRS planning where needed. Our Umalulu baseline study maps hotspots and practices to guide action. Health agents educate families on night protection, early testing, and correct dosing. With consistent nets, diagnostics, and training, we reduce cases—and save lives.
Light for Education – SolarBuddy
When night falls, learning continues.
In 2025, we gained tax-free approval to distribute 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps for children and schools without electricity. The lamps charge during the day and provide light for homework, safety, and community study at night. Larger units support classrooms; smaller units are given to students. A yearly pipeline now helps us reach more villages. Light improves attendance, reading time, and learning outcomes.
Women’s Empowerment & Training
From caregivers to certified community health leaders
Most Kawan Sehat are women. Through intensive training, field coaching, and a modular 15-chapter curriculum, they gain clinical skills, triage methods, prevention tools, and record-keeping. Certification boosts confidence, income opportunities, and community respect. When women lead care locally, families seek help earlier, and health indicators improve for everyone—especially children.
Prevention & Health Education
Posters, school sessions, community talks
We run an expanding range of prevention campaigns: tobacco harms, waste & water safety, alcohol risks, and sexual health/STIs. Materials are designed for all literacy levels, printed on fabric for durability, and delivered by health agents in homes and schools. Clear visuals plus simple steps = real behaviour change that prevents illness before it begins.
Support Logistics – The Trucks of Life
If supplies don’t move, care doesn’t happen
Our medical truck and the Truck n’ Load carry up to four tonnes of medicines, solar gear, and water-system materials across ferries and off-road tracks. Logistics also enables emergency runs, resupply for agents, and equipment installations. This backbone turns donations into delivered care—on time, in the hardest places. Fuel, tyres, maintenance: all mission-critical.
Volunteer With Us
Field, workshop, or remote—there’s a role for you
Join on the ground in Sumba, lend skills in Bali or Switzerland, or help remotely with medical logistics, translation, mapping, media, grants or education content. We prioritise practical impact, safety, and clear tasks. Short missions and long commitments are both welcome. Your time can build a reservoir, train a health agent—or light a classroom.
Transparency & Swiss Expertise
Trust earned through experience and integrity
Since 2008, +/- 93% of every franc has directly funded fieldwork. Accounts are approved annually by the Foundation Board, certified auditors, and Swiss authorities. We operate with minimal overhead and only local salaries, depending on volunteer efforts and strict controls. Precision, accountability, Swiss Expertise and results drive every franc we allocate.
In‑Kind & Medical Donations
From a bandage to a solar panel—everything counts
We accept medical supplies (bandages, infusion sets, RDTs, malaria medication), water system materials, and educational and solar equipment. Thanks to our customs approvals, large humanitarian shipments can arrive tax‑free and be tracked to their destination. Donate items in Sumba, Denpasar, or Switzerland—our team ensures they reach those where they can save the most lives.
750,000+ lives impacted
Since 2008, thanks to your trust and support.
