To reach ultra-rural villages, we rely on the Truck of Life to navigate rough, broken roads. This vehicle allows us to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, water, tools, solar kits, and food. Logistics play a crucial role in our program; without access to fuel, spare parts, and the commitment to long days on the road, we would be unable to reach the patients in need.
Fair Future Foundation, a Swiss-based non-profit, is an innovative force in global healthcare and social aid.
Know your status, take an HIV test now – HIV prevention poster used by Kawan Sehat health agents.
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

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.
Wai Pa Luri Wangu clean water tank for Hambarita village
In Hambarita the Wai Pa Luri Wangu water tank is one of eight new reservoirs we built with the community. This 5 300 litre blue cylinder stands just a few steps from three houses and sixteen people, turning short rains into stored water for daily life, hygiene and basic medical care, instead of dangerous rides on motorbikes with heavy jerrycans.
SolarBuddy lamps Matawai Katingga protect child health
In Lapinu, an isolated village in Matawai Katingga, SolarBuddy lamps Lapinu children change daily life. Without electricity or clean water, evenings meant smoke, kerosene and darkness. Our joint teams from Fair Future and Kawan Baik bring light as a medical tool, to protect lungs, eyes and learning
Who are the Kawan Sehat health agents?
In this article you finally discover who are Kawan Sehat health agents, not as numbers but as people. Through portraits and short testimonies they explain who they are, where they live, the patients they care for and why they chose to become the first line of medical care in remote East Sumba hills every day.
Kawan Sehat wound care in remote villages saves lives
In this image Kawan Sehat wound care happens on a bamboo floor where clinics are days away. The agent irrigates, debrides if needed, applies a sterile dressing, checks tetanus, and teaches danger signs. Early care stops infection before it spreads to the blood. This is how primary medicine prevents funerals.
Hambarita water reservoir plaques – eight named tanks
This picture shows Hambarita water reservoir plaques resting on the grass moments before installation. Each plate carries a local name because water is treated like kin. When a tank is called by name, people maintain it, clean gutters, and guard the lid. Eight new reservoirs will store rain, cut disease, and return time to families.
SolarBuddy lamps East Sumba – quality control to classrooms
At Rumah Kambera we checked 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps East Sumba one by one. Volunteers, Rotary, Fair Future and Kawan Baik tested brightness, panels, switches and batteries, fixed faults, logged QR codes, and packed each unit for long journeys to schools with no electricity. Light prevents injuries, improves study, and protects health.
Mbajik solar electrification – first village cinema night
Erwin, the Field Coordinator of the Primary Medical Care programme, spends days crossing muddy roads, broken bridges, and steep trails to deliver medicines to Kawan Sehat agents. His work keeps remote East Sumba villages connected to lifesaving care, dignity, and trusted medical support.
Solar electrification SDN Mbajik | Remote school powered
Solar electrification reaches SDN Mbajik in ultra-rural East Sumba, powering classrooms, water pumps, and internet access. This community-built system transforms education, safety, and daily life—bringing lasting change to one of Indonesia’s most isolated schools.

One story that explains our work
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.
