We will construct eight ferrocement tanks in Hambarita to provide clean water to isolated families. Six of these are currently funded, but two remain unfunded. We require CHF 2,300 for each tank. Your support guarantees access to clean water for the most remote communities. Donate now and be part of this life-changing project.
Fair Future’s Picture of the Day unveils unseen rural realities through authentic field images.
Each photograph captures the raw truth of our daily mission in the most remote areas of Indonesia.
Fair Future’s work addresses health and wealth disparities in ultra-rural regions through community-based programs.
One Picture – A Story of Reality, Resilience, and Action
At Fair Future, we hold the belief that a single image can convey a truth that no written paragraph could ever capture. Our “Picture of the Day” serves as more than just a photo; it offers a glimpse into the daily lives in the world’s most overlooked regions.
Captured by our teams in the depths of rural Southeast Asia, particularly Eastern Indonesia, each image stands as a direct testament to the realities we witness, endure, and support.
These photos reflect genuine, unfiltered moments—Kawan Sehat health agents tending to patients in clinic-less areas, children gathering water from wells we constructed, a mother transporting her child across arid land, or the quiet fortitude seen in a face etched by malnutrition and illness. Each picture tells a tale of medical urgency, social injustice, isolation, and remarkable resilience.
This page showcases those stories. Through each image, we reveal the silent struggles we observe and the dignity of those who battle them. They are unposed, raw, and candid—taken by us, amid the mud, under the sun, and through the long nights.
“A photo speaks when words fall short. This is our everyday reality, captured with heart and grit.” — Alex Wettstein, CEO and Founder of Fair Future
Every photo demands awareness and action. We encourage you to look closer, experience our feelings, and join us—one story, one truth, one picture per day.
