Through the Primary Medical Care program, Kawan Sehat health workers provide treatment for fevers, wounds, and malaria in villages lacking access to doctors. They carry essential medicines, adhere to established medical protocols, and refer emergency cases promptly to prevent delays in care.
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
