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.
Latest from the Field
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, malaria, tuberculosis, polio, leprosy, and chronic illnesses directly in remote villages. With access to clean water, safe reservoirs, and nutritional support, communities can finally prevent diseases instead of suffering from them.
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.

Real moments from our medical, water, and community missions in ultra-rural Indonesia. Nothing staged — just the daily reality of our work on the ground.
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.
Primary Medical Care
Trained Kawan Sehat health agents provide first line medical care in villages without doctors. With equipped medical backpacks and remote supervision, they treat wounds, infections, fevers, malaria, and chronic illness for 700 to 1 000 patients every month. This programme prevents simple problems from becoming emergencies.
Water Connections
We drill wells, build ferrocement reservoirs, and install safe water points so families can drink, cook, wash, and grow food without risking disease. Clean water reduces diarrhoea, malnutrition, and many infections we see daily in our clinics. Every tank and every tap is a public health intervention.
Kawan Against Malaria
In malaria endemic areas we combine prevention, rapid tests, treatment, and education. Long lasting insecticidal nets, indoor spraying, field studies, and posters help reduce fevers, anaemia, and deaths, especially among children and pregnant women. This programme links community action with rigorous medical follow up.
Light and Energy for Health
With partners such as SolarBuddy and Smart Energy Tech, we bring solar light and basic electricity to schools, homes, and health posts. Light at night means safer deliveries, homework after sunset, functioning fridges for vaccines, and fewer injuries on dark paths. Energy access becomes a tool to protect health.
