What we are doing now

Eight New 5,300L Ferro-Cement Reservoirs Completed

August 2025 | Built in under four months using Swiss precision and resilience, eight 5,300L ferro-cement reservoirs now supply clean water daily to Laindatang-Hambarita. In one of Indonesia’s most remote regions, this engineering feat ensures reliable access for dozens of families.

115 m³ rainwater reservoir completed in Laindatang

August 2025 | In just two months, we built a 115 m³ reservoir to collect filtered rainwater for Laindatang & Hambarita residents, ending years of severe shortages. This project, fully funded, now secures safe water access for this remote community.

Distributing 2,224 SolarBuddy Lights to Remote Schools and Villages

August 2025 | Nearly 1,000 of the 2,224 solar lamps are already in the hands of children in 24 schools and villages without electricity. This huge logistical effort continues, with all lamps to be delivered by year’s end. We seek support to complete the distribution, bringing safe light to thousands.

Kawan Sehat: 21 Health Agents Treating Up to 1,000 Patients Monthly

August 2025 | For over three years, the PMC Program has delivered life-saving care to ultra-rural villages. Today, 21 health agents treat 800–1,000 patients each month, with plans to expand to 30 agents to reach even more communities.

Urgent Medical Equipment for Sumba’s Only Hospital

August 2025 | We’ve launched a fundraising program to equip RSUD Umbu Rara Meha, the only hospital serving 800,000 people in Sumba. Severely lacking supplies, they struggle for even basic tools. We’ve raised 12,000 CHF (IDR 236 M) and ordered vital equipment to be delivered in Septembrer.

East Sumba Malaria Prevention Project 2025

August 2025 | A major new initiative to eliminate malaria in East Sumba, funded by Malaria Partners International, Fair Future, and Rotary.

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.

Rachel Owens - USA, Philanthropy Advisor

The Paul Harris award given to Fair Future highlights their long-standing impact. In a world of short-term projects, their 15-year dedication to ultra-rural care is rare. This recognition isn’t symbolic—it validates the power of persistence and trust in communities.

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 — Suisse / Retraité, ancien ingénieur

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.

José Alvarez - Profesor, España

Encontré la Fundación Fair Future de manera fortuita, y ahora sigo muy de cerca su extraordinaria labor. Observar cómo el programa Primary Medical Care alcanza a comunidades desatendidas, proporcionando atención médica y dignidad, me inspira profundamente. Colaborar con esta organización no es solo un acto benéfico; es un compromiso hacia el futuro

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.

Claire Dupont - Infirmière, Suisse

Savoir que mon don a contribué à financer des soins médicaux pour des enfants dans des villages reculés est une leçon d’humilité. Fair Future m’a tenu au courant des progrès, et voir comment ma contribution a permis de fournir un traitement vital m’a fait me sentir vraiment connecté à leur mission.

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.

Maria Alvarez - Teacher

I have witnessed how our contributions to Fair Future help communities overcome challenging conditions. The foundation is committed to sustainable, life-saving work, and it is an honour to stand with them. Together, we are changing lives in ultra-rural regions that are often overlooked by the rest of the world.

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…

Dula Kadu - Volunteer, Fair Future - Kawan Baik

Fair Future is not just an organisation—it feels like family. As a volunteer, I’ve gained friends and skills that I never thought I would. Helping build water reservoirs with the team has been the most rewarding experience of my life.

Sarah Dupont — France / Soignante

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.
