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.

Every Franc Saves Lives

Every franc you give becomes a life for someone. It can be used to buy nutritious food, fuel the Truck of Life, or fund mosquito nets that protect children from malaria. One hundred francs helps build water tanks or toilets for a village. Five hundred francs funds medical care for a thousand people each month. Here, your generosity doesn’t disappear: it directly transforms into health, water, and dignity.

Julie H. — Switzerland / Civil Engineer

A 115 m³ reservoir in a roadless village? That’s not just engineering, it’s defiance. Fair Future didn’t just bring water to Laindatang; they proved that people in forgotten places deserve the same dignity as anyone else. This is what meaningful infrastructure looks like.

Rambu Ester - Mbatakapidu

From Bahasa Indonesia: "There are no doctors here, but there is Rambu Angi, a Kawan Sehat health worker. When my child had a fever, she came on foot with her medical bag. She performed a test and administered the correct medication. Without her, we would be alone. She is our anchor."

Dr. Sophie Lang - UK

The Kawan Sehat health agents are a brilliant example of what happens when trust, training, and local knowledge come together. These women navigate rivers, walk hours, and still deliver quality care. They don’t replace the system—they are the system where none exists.

Andrew Scott — Australia

What Fair Future achieved at SDN Mbajik is outstanding. Bringing clean, reliable solar power to a school with no existing infrastructure requires creativity and grit. It's a model for small-scale, high-impact electrification in remote areas. These kids now have ligh, and a brighter future.

Léa Favre - Belgique / Enseignante en milieu rural

Voir une école comme celle de Mbajik s’illuminer pour la première fois grâce à l’énergie solaire, c’est bouleversant. Ce que Fair Future a fait là-bas, c’est bien plus que poser des panneaux : c’est donner à des enfants le droit d’apprendre dans la dignité, même au bout du monde.

Philippe Güntert - Directeur EMS - Lausanne, Suisse

Bravo Alexandre et aussi à toute ton équipe, vous faites un travail remarquable et plein d’enthousiasme. Vous donnez du sens à la vie dans un monde qui va mal.

Tom Sanders - UK - Humanitarian Reporting

Alex’s words don’t read like press releases—they feel like journal entries from the frontlines. His reflections cut through the noise of NGO storytelling. You get honesty, struggle, small victories. It’s rare. And it’s what makes Fair Future stand apart.

Camille Aubry - Suisse / Étudiante en médecine

Chaque fois que je lis "Un mot d’Alex", j’ai l’impression d’être sur le terrain avec lui. C’est brut, vrai, sans filtre. On comprend que derrière les projets, il y a des vies, des visages, des doutes aussi. Ce n’est pas de la communication, c’est du vécu. Et ça donne envie de s’engager.

Élodie Rousseau — Infirmière en santé publique

Ce que l’étude d’Umalulu révèle est glaçant : des enfants dorment sans moustiquaire, l’eau stagne près des maisons, l’accès aux soins prend plus de 30 minutes en moto. Pourtant, tout est fait avec peu, mais avec intelligence. Ce travail de terrain, rigoureux et humain, mérite d’être connu, soutenu et poursuivi.

Claire Berger – Maman & donatrice

J’ai vu une photo d’un enfant dormant sans moustiquaire, dans une maison sans lumière, et ça m’a marquée. Depuis, je soutiens ce programme de Fair Future. Offrir un filet, un spray, une formation, ce n’est pas grand-chose pour nous, mais c’est peut-être ce qui sauvera une vie là-bas. Bravo pour ce que vous faites.

Peter Smith, Australia / President, Rotary Club Mandurah

Fair Future’s work in East Sumba is a true model of what dedicated people can achieve. Our club is proud to collaborate with you. Your updates are a joy to read, and I hope we’ll meet in person soon. Wishing you and your team all the very best for the future!

Nicolas Perrin, Suisse / Logisticien humanitaire

Travailler à Sumba Est, c’est affronter chaque jour des défis logistiques immenses. Routes impraticables, absence d’infrastructures, conditions météo extrêmes… Et pourtant, Fair Future y parvient. Leur capacité à faire arriver matériel et soins là où personne ne va est admirable.

Julien Durand - France / Professeur de physique

J’ai été impressionné d’apprendre que Fair Future va offrir plus de 2 200 lampes solaires aux enfants de Sumba Est. Ces lampes permettront à ces enfants d’étudier le soir et de vivre un peu mieux. C’est un petit geste, mais il change tout pour eux. Bravo !

Lucie Martin - France / Étudiante en sciences sociales

Je viens de lire que Fair Future se lance dans la certification ZEWO. C’est une démarche importante qui démontre encore une fois leur sérieux et leur engagement. Je vous souhaite bonne chance pour cette étape, et bravo pour tout ce que vous faites !

David Miller - Rotary Member

I’ve followed Fair Future’s malaria campaigns closely. Their transparency, especially in how donations are used to fund mosquito nets and prevention tools, is rare. The scale may be local, but the impact is global. They remind us that solutions don’t always come from the top.

Jessica Harper - USA, Global Health Lecturer

Teaching students about malaria is one thing—seeing how Fair Future maps, educates, and protects isolated families in Indonesia gives it all meaning. Their team shares data and strategies that help inform global discourse. Their work deserves far more attention.

Emily Tan - Singapore, Public Health Researcher

Fair Future’s work in East Sumba offers insight into how grassroots data and education save lives. Their approach to malaria prevention is people-first and intensely local. As someone working in urban health policy, I find their community-led model both inspiring and essential.

Rambu Ida Djami - PEMDA, Sumba Timur

Alex and Ayu... You two are truly extraordinary, used by God for the welfare of the people of East Sumba... All the challenges in the process, God has been involved in the program that you are fighting for... I am personally proud of you, the Kawan Baik and Fair Future team... May God accompany your journey to and from home safely and with abundant strength and health.

Philippe Lautier - Swiss Engineer, Fair Future Member

The work you do and the energy with which you persist in making a difference are like a constant shining sun in my life. The FFF demonstrates every day that it is possible to make a difference, which is admirable and humbling, especially in our comfortable Swiss surroundings. You are a role model whom I often talk to my children about, so that they understand that not everyone starts out in life with the same chances, and that we must share ours.

Michel Reymond en Suisse

J’ai connu Fair Future grâce à ma fille, qui soutient leurs projets depuis plusieurs années. En tant qu’ancien ingénieur, j’ai été impressionné par la rigueur de leurs projets : plans clairs, budget maîtrisé, résultats visibles. Lors d’un voyage à Sumba en 2023, j’ai vu de mes propres yeux un village où l’eau courait pour la première fois dans les robinets. C’était émouvant. La fondation ne fait pas dans le blabla, elle fait dans le concret. C’est pour cela que je continue à les soutenir, chaque année.

Dr. Emma Hughes - Fair Future Member

As a medical professional, I have always believed in the power of healthcare to change lives. Being a member of Fair Future has allowed me to contribute to something truly extraordinary. The foundation’s work in bringing Primary Medical Care to ultra-rural areas is not only life-saving but also transformative for entire communities. It is an honour to support such a dedicated and impactful organisation.

Lukas Schmid - Ingenieur, Deutschland

Was mich an Fair Future beeindruckt, ist ihr Engagement auf gleicher Augenhöhe mit den Gemeinden. Der Ansatz der primären medizinischen Versorgung umfasst nicht nur die Bereitstellung von Medizin, sondern auch Bildung und Ermächtigung. Der Gedanke, dass meine Spenden Menschenleben retten und eine Grundlage für eine bessere Zukunft schaffen, erfüllt mich mit Stolz.

Paul Mercier - Donateur

Je ne m’attendais pas à voir un impact aussi direct lorsque j’ai fait un don. Fair Future a utilisé une partie de mon don pour soutenir le programme Water Connections, en forant un puits qui fournit désormais de l’eau potable à tout un village. Sachant cela, ma petite contribution me semble énorme.

Rambu Viola - Volunteer, Fair Future - Kawan Baik

Being involved in education initiatives has been life-changing for me. Teaching children in remote villages is challenging, but seeing their smiles and progress makes every effort worthwhile. The experience has reshaped my purpose.

David Lee - Dietetician, Fair Future Supporter

Joining Fair Future as a member was one good decision I’ve made. Every month, I see real stories of families who now have access to healthcare and clean water thanks to our collective efforts. The foundation’s transparency and the incredible impact we make together are inspiring. I’m proud to be part of this community.

Jasmine Randin - Swiss watchmaker

As a Swiss Fair Future member, I stay connected to the real impact I’m making. Every update reinforces that my support is changing lives. Bravo pour tout ce que tu fais Alex…

Sarah Dupont de France

J’ai découvert la Fair Future en 2021 via Alex, un peu par hasard, en lisant un article sur l’accès à l’eau en Indonésie. Quelques mois plus tard, je suis partie comme infirmière bénévole. Ce que j’y ai vu m’a bouleversée : des enfants traités pour la première fois de leur vie, des villages transformés par un simple réservoir d’eau, des équipes locales formées et engagées. Alex ne parle jamais de miracles, juste de travail concret, jour après jour, dans des conditions difficiles. C’est rare, et ça mérite d’être soutenu.
