Malaria continues to pose a daily threat in this area. Through Kawan Against Malaria, we monitor cases, test all fevers, protect homes, and educate families. The use of bed nets, spraying, and prompt treatment turns statistical data into lives that endure quietly, rather than ending prematurely.

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
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.

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.
Malaria rapid tests reveal cases in Umalulu
During our fieldwork in Umalulu for the East Sumba Malaria Prevention Project, rapid diagnostic tests confirmed new positive malaria cases—children, women, and adolescents—despite being outside peak season. Without testing, cases remain invisible. Testing saves lives.
Malaria prevention project East Sumba progresses in 2025
Three weeks into the malaria prevention project, East Sumba has seen real progress. The IRS campaign is complete, 20 prevention billboards are in place, and the education phase now begins. This malaria prevention project strengthens awareness, treatment, and long-term protection.
Malaria lab training strengthens diagnostics in East Sumba
Malaria lab training in East Sumba brought together 28 analysts from all health centres and the RSUD hospital. Under WHO-certified mentors, they refined slide reading and microscopy skills, strengthening diagnostic accuracy and treatment speed in rural Indonesia.
Indoor Residual Spraying malaria – Fair Future Foundation
The Kawan Against Malaria program delivers Indoor Residual Spraying malaria operations in East Sumba. Trained teams spray bamboo and wooden homes, surface by surface, to kill mosquitoes and reduce transmission. Each treated house becomes a safer place for children and families.
Final report Hambarita reservoirs
Fair Future is pleased to release the final report of the Water Connections project in Hambarita. Over several months, eight ferrocement reservoirs were built, providing clean water to dozens of families. A serious effort, real impact, and lives transformed—thanks to all of you.
What We Learn by Being There
In May, 21 Kawan Sehat health agents completed intensive training in primary care. They now serve nearly 1,000 patients each month in remote Indonesian villages, offering medical treatment, prevention, and education where no doctors are available.
Medical Donation to RSUD Waingapu
Fair Future and Kawan Baik Foundations delivers over 40 types of medical equipment to RSUD Waingapu, the only referral hospital for 800000 people in East Sumba. This life-saving donation strengthens neonatal, surgical, diagnostic, and emergency care.
Erwin’s Journey Bringing Care
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.
Our 2024 Impact in Remote Villages
These figures reflect real patients, real treatments, and real kilometres crossed to bring care where no doctor is available.
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, allowing families to drink, cook, and wash without risking 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 in their homes and schools.
2024 Annual Report – 15 Years of Concrete Action
Discover Fair Future’s 2024 Annual Report—a compelling testament to our work in East Sumba, from primary healthcare and access to clean water to nutrition and education programmes. This year marked our 15th anniversary, a significant milestone in resilience, impact, and innovation. The full report, available in both French and English, reflects the lives we have touched and the urgent challenges that lie ahead.

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.
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.
