We're building dozens of ferrocement tanks in the remote region of East Sumba, each capable of holding over 5,300 litres of clean water. Local families participate in their construction, ensuring long-term sustainability. Access to clean water prevents disease and transforms daily lives. Join us as we develop solutions.
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.

Healthy Sanitation Construction Program
This photo is from this week. In the regions where we are active, tens of thousands of people cannot use the toilets. Do you know why? Quite simply because they don't have any, because they don't have water and no financial resources to ensure their construction.
The inhabitants, therefore, have no other means than to relieve themselves in fields, bushes, forests, ditches, streets, canals or other open areas. In our view, this is not only an attack on dignity but, above all, enormous risks to the health of families, especially vulnerable people: children, the elderly, pregnant women and the chronically ill. That's why we continue to build healthy sanitary facilities at this time with the "Water Connections" program in East Sumba.
Kawan Sehat, the book for the Sumba kids
Kawan Sehat means "healthy friend". This is a book for children in rural areas. Our friend Bayu illustrated these boards simply for the children to understand immediately. Each panel presents Rambu (the woman), Umbu (the man) and a Horse (the most sacred animal of East Sumba) around socio-sanitary themes. The foundation's medical teams, familiar with local customs and traditions, treated about twenty subjects. Since the beginning of January, the foundation's medical teams have been developing additional medical topics for this book.
We invite you to get to know "Kawan Sehat" in .PDF format, in its latest version, by clicking on this link. Happy reading, Kawan.
Preparing primary health care kits
Sixty (60) containers filled with medical equipment, essential drugs, and what to treat a wound quickly to prevent it from getting worse are being prepared.
Next week, more than a ton of medical equipment will reach our Rumah Kambera Medico-Social Base Camp by road. This represents a considerable volume of purchases, believe me.
The Rumah Baik Base Camp in Denpasar is filled with boxes, tape, medicines, plasters, bandages, disinfectants and other medical equipment.
