Malaria continues to pose a daily threat in this area. Through Kawan Against Malaria, we monitor cases, test all fevers, protect homes, and educate families. The use of bed nets, spraying, and prompt treatment turns statistical data into lives that endure quietly, rather than ending prematurely.
Fair Future Foundation, a Swiss-based non-profit, is an innovative force in global healthcare and social aid.

We work in some of the most remote regions of Southeast Asia, where there are no doctors, no electricity, and often no clean water. For over sixteen years, Fair Future has been on the ground, creating long-term medical and social solutions with the communities who live here.
Through the Primary Medical Care programme, we treat wounds, infections, HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and chronic illnesses directly in remote villages. With access to clean water, safe reservoirs, and nutritional support, communities can finally prevent disease rather than suffer from it.
Our approach is simple: stay close, listen, understand, and act with science and solidarity. Every action we take aims to strengthen families, improve health, and reduce preventable deaths.
Your support sustains this work. It transforms long days under the sun, muddy roads, and emergency care into measurable change for those who have nowhere else to turn. Alex Wettstein – Fair Future Foundation – Updated in November 2025

Every franc you contribute funds a medical service. It provides medicines, dressings, lab tests, and clean water systems that prevent children from getting sick. It also fuels solar lights to keep vaccines cold and enable nighttime care.

WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW
Field stories of wounds treated, clean water built, and families protected
These articles are not reports — they are moments from the field. They show how we care for wound infections, bring clean water to villages, train health agents, and travel days to reach isolated families. This is the reality of our medical work.
Rural doctor shortage solution initiatives
Our foundation addresses the severe shortage of doctors in rural Indonesia through a multifaceted approach that includes training local health agents, upgrading infrastructure, and implementing solutions to alleviate the doctor scarcity, ultimately improving access to medical care.
Agriculture in Danger Climate and Drought Effects
Climate change and extended droughts are straining farmers, complicating food production and jeopardizing livelihoods. To address these challenges, Fair Future Foundation’s Water Connections program and health initiatives offer sustainable solutions that ensure access to clean water, enhance nutrition, and bolster rural economies.
East Sumba’s Pest Crisis Threatens Health and Environment
For over five years, East Sumba has been battling a relentless pest infestation that devastates crops and poses severe threats to human health, psychological well-being, and environmental integrity. This crisis demands immediate, sustainable solutions to protect the affected communities and restore ecological balance.
Fair Future Launches a New Anti-Tobacco Poster
Fair Future’s latest anti-tobacco poster highlights the grave dangers of passive smoking. Annually, tobacco claims the lives of 1.2 million non-smokers, affecting children, pregnant women, and whole families. This campaign is set to be launched throughout rural Indonesia with the aim of educating and safeguarding those most vulnerable.
Fund Clean Water for Laindatang’s Last Four Reservoirs
For the past three years, Fair Future has been constructing water reservoirs in Laindatang to guarantee access to clean water. However, four remote families continue to face difficulties. With only four additional reservoirs needed, we can complete this important work. Help us take the final step toward providing every household in this community with secure access to water.
Building a 110,000L Water Reservoir in Laindatang
In May 2025, Fair Future is set to construct a water reservoir with a capacity of 110,000 liters in Laindatang, an isolated village grappling with severe drought conditions. This initiative aims to provide sustainable access to clean water for 300 residents—including 100 children—by utilizing rainwater harvesting and filtration techniques to combat the ongoing issue of water scarcity.

Solar Light Transforms Lives in Rural East Sumba
In East Sumba, countless families exist without any light source. The lack of electricity forces children to embark on lengthy journeys to school at dawn, individuals cook under perilous conditions, and nighttime study becomes a significant challenge. Solar lighting provides a safe and sustainable remedy that enhances education, health, and security for these communities.

A story you shouldn’t skip
Climate change is no longer tomorrow’s problem. In East Indonesia, it already shapes daily illness, hunger, and water scarcity.
Our core programmes in ultra rural Indonesia
We work in the extreme east of Indonesia, in ultra rural villages with no doctors, no electricity, and often no clean water. These programmes turn medical knowledge, community effort, and solidarity into concrete solutions for families who live far from any form of care.
