Malaria Emergency | In order to effectively fight the ongoing malaria epidemic in our region, our medical teams need vital resources such as medicines, rapid diagnostic kits, laboratory equipment and two microscopes. In addition, it is very important that we have access to impregnated mosquito nets and indoor spraying equipment (IRS) to prevent any potential infection. Thank you from the heart.
Fair Future is an internationally operating, independent, non-profit socio-medical organization based in Switzerland.
At Fair Future, we strive to positively impact families, individuals, and communities facing poverty, health crises, epidemics, disasters, and food or water shortages. We focus on developing innovative programs that address problems like child malnutrition, malaria, dengue fever, lack of food, and infectious diseases resulting from inadequate access to toilets, showers, and drinking water.
We understand that each situation is unique, and we approach each case with a standard protocol that ensures our resources and expertise are utilized efficiently and thoughtfully, regardless of location.
Working in challenging and remote regions, we prioritize collaborating with the communities that benefit from our programs. Our core mission is to provide access to medical care and create innovative programs prioritising respect for all individuals and their environment.
Water Connections - Tana Mbanas
We have conducted three comprehensive studies in Tana Mbanas and are now confident of our plan to tackle the issue of water scarcity in the central regency of Sumba. In June 2023, we will begin drilling a deep well and constructing sanitation facilities in the village as part of our immediate action plan.
Our ultimate objective is to ensure that thousands deprived of clean and safe water for far too long can finally access it. We are pleased to announce that this project has already been fully funded.
Urgent needs for medical equipment
Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs)
To accurately diagnose malaria, it is essential to conduct multiple tests using microscopes and reagents. It is crucial to obtain these materials promptly to detect and treat the numerous cases effectively.
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs)
A reliable way to protect oneself against mosquito-borne diseases is the use of mosquito nets, which act as a barrier between people and insects. Sadly, many households in this area still lack access to this essential tool.
Space insecticide spraying (IRS)
A practical method of managing mosquitoes that make their way into homes is to use residual insecticide spray on the interior walls. Currently, Indoor Residual Spraying is one of two core malaria interventions recommended by the WHO.
Antimalarial drugs & others
There is a pressing need for an increased supply of antimalarial medications and treatments for illnesses resulting from contaminated water, malnutrition, and parasitic and infectious diseases that are prevalent in our area.
Malaria Prevention Initiative Sumba Timur 2023
The malaria control program in East Sumba is a collaborative effort involving various components such as prevention, diagnosis, treatment, capacity building, monitoring, and community engagement. Our goal is to promptly implement the program in the most affected regions of East Sumba to minimize the incidence and effects of malaria in the designated intervention zones.
Primary Medical Care Progress Report
The Primary Medical Care (PMC) program has been a game-changer for many rural communities in East Sumba. Since its launch in December 2022, the programme’s workers – all strong women from ultra-rural areas – have treated more than a thousand people.
Remarkably, these Kawan Sehat agents are not medical professionals, yet they have saved countless lives. This testifies to the effectiveness of the program and the dedication of these heroes in these regions with no other medical resources than those offered by this program.

Your donations all finance the programs initiated by Fair Future. A borehole, a water tank, surgery, health& medical care, school and school supplies, school shoes, a solar lamp and so many other things every year.
For example, Fair Future estimates that every franc invested in water and toilets saves four francs in medical costs, avoids deaths and increases productivity. We consider hygiene promotion –life preservation– to be one of the most cost-effective public health interventions. Conversely, a lack of sanitation hampers economic growth.

Through our latest articles, we invite you to discover how we provide social, medical and humanitarian aid in the ultra-rural areas of Indonesia, providing support and relief.
In the field, we carry out independent assessments to determine the needs and assess the assistance to be provided according to the scale of a crisis, the levels of disease and mortality in the population, and the severity of the exclusion. Read More News here.
These are some of the questions we ask ourselves daily in our work with needy communities.
What should we change in the malaria treatment mode, according to the shortage of drugs? What can we change to fight malnutrition? For example, the use of ready-to-eat foods? Why is access to clean water essential to ensure a healthy life?
Water Connections project in Laindatang Village
This village currently lacks access to water, resulting in widespread illness and malnutrition. Both children and adults are underweight and have insufficient access to food and water.
This village currently lacks access to water, resulting in widespread illness and malnutrition. Both children and adults are underweight and have insufficient access to food and water.
It is imperative that we take action to provide hundreds of people with access to clean water. The prevalence of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and infectious diarrhoea linked to contaminated water sources has taken a significant toll in this region. With the feasibility studies completed, we are ready to work.
Your click can make a difference in the lives of over a hundred families living in extreme conditions in this village by providing them with access to clean water and toilets.
Together, let's help families in distress
