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.

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
Help deliver medical care where no doctors work
Every contribution funds direct care in remote villages. Medicines, wound treatment, diagnostic tests, clean water systems, and solar-powered cold chains to protect vaccines and enable care at night.

Real moments from our medical and humanitarian missions in ultra-rural Indonesia. Nothing arranged — just life, as we live it with them.

Nov. 2025 | The Day Night Changed
The film The Day Night Changed is now online. It shows how Mbajik School in East Sumba received electricity for the first time after five days of hard work with Smart Energy Tech and the villagers. The final scene shows the first cinema night ever held in Haray.

Matawai, The Shades Of Water
Produced by Fair Future, this 15-minute documentary examines the daily struggle for access to water in the ultra-rural eastern Sumba region. Matawai reveals how the lack of clean water affects women and children, while also highlighting the vital impact of Fair Future's Water Connections programme.

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.
Clean Water Roof in Laindatang | Medical Water Safety
A light steel roof now protects the Laindatang reservoir, shielding filtered rainwater from heat, light, and contamination. Built with villagers by Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, this structure turns rainfall into safe drinking water and prevents avoidable disease.
Laindatang water reservoir work – sealed interior
Laindatang water reservoir work required transforming raw concrete into a sealed chamber through seven protective layers. Each layer prevents contamination, stabilises the structure, and protects the health of families. This technical process is essential for long term safe water in East Sumba.
Laindatang water reservoir construction improving access
In Laindatang we build a 115000 litre reservoir by hand with villagers, shaping steel, timber, and concrete on a remote plateau. This work brings clean water to families who have lived without it and strengthens community health for the years ahead.
Hill access for water in Laindatang begins
Repairing Laindatang’s hill road was essential to bring clean water. The slope was broken and unsafe, but now machinery can finally reach the site. A first step toward reducing disease and improving daily life.
SolarBuddy distribution reports now available East Sumba
The two documents prove that light delivery is more than numbers. They show routes taken, funds used, and hours of study gained. They record teacher involvement, safer evenings, and lower injury risk. Evidence builds trust, and trust keeps the lights arriving where they are needed most.
The Day Night Changed – Solar Light for Mbajik School
For five days, we lived and worked in Haray to create The Day Night Changed, a film showing how electricity reached Mbajik School for the first time. This is the story of before, during, and after, in a district where over 100 schools still wait for power.
HIV prevention poster campaign in rural Indonesia health
In East Sumba, Kawan Sehat health agents now carry a new tool the HIV prevention poster campaign. Used in homes, schools and small clinics, it explains in simple language how HIV is transmitted, how it is not, and which everyday actions protect families, partners and young people from infection and stigma.
Primary Medical Care East Sumba quarterly impact report
Primary Medical Care East Sumba is not a theory, it is 798 patients and 1,421 cases in three months, most of them children and women, treated where no doctor is present. Through Kawan Sehat agents, we bring first aid, medicines, prevention and referrals into ultra remote villages. Without this program, these cases simply stay untreated.
OUR 2025 IMPACT IN REMOTE VILLAGES
Medical consultations delivered in ultra-rural villages where no doctor, no clinic, and no alternative care exists.
Litres of safe water storage built or funded, helping families drink, cook, and wash without preventable disease.
People reached through daily health education on hygiene, malaria prevention, clean water, and basic nutrition.
Children who can now study, read, and move safely after dark thanks to clean, reliable solar light at home and school.

Essential Pages on Rural Health
Climate Change and Health
Climate change is not an abstract environmental issue. In ultra-rural communities, it directly worsens disease, water scarcity, malnutrition, and access to care. This page explains how climate impacts health long before emergencies appear.
Life Without Healthcare
In large parts of rural Indonesia, healthcare simply does not exist. No doctors, no clinics, no ambulances. This page explains what that absence means in real life, for children, families, and entire communities left alone with preventable diseases.
Disease Prevention Without Care
Malaria, infections, waterborne diseases. In ultra-rural areas, prevention is often the only medicine available. This page shows how simple, evidence-based actions can stop disease before it becomes fatal.

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.
