Children can't learn effectively in darkness or when suffering from chronic infections. By electrifying schools, improving nutrition, and providing treatment for common illnesses, we create safe environments for learning and development. In this way, education acts as a shield against poverty and social exclusion.
Fair Future Foundation, a Swiss-based non-profit, is an innovative force in global healthcare and social aid.
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.

Help us treat people no one else reaches
Every franc you contribute funds a medical service. It provides medicines, dressings, lab tests, and clean water systems that prevent children from getting sick. It also fuels solar lights to keep vaccines cold and enable nighttime care.
Stories from the Field
Real moments from our medical and humanitarian missions in ultra-rural Indonesia. Nothing arranged — just life, as we live it with them.
How your donations are used?
Fair Future ensures that 93% of every donated franc directly funds our field projects. This supports providing medical care, building clean water wells, and eradicating malaria-related diseases. Our transparency maximizes impact, allowing life-saving solutions to reach vulnerable communities farthest from aid access, demonstrating your generosity’s difference in their lives.

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.
Medical Backpack That Saves Lives
In East Sumba, women carry life-saving care on their backs. These medical backpacks contain over 50 essential items and are central to Fair Future’s Primary Medical Care program. A tool of autonomy and survival.
What Is Malaria and How to Prevent It
Malaria enters silently and can kill within days. But it’s preventable. Learn what malaria is, how it spreads, who is most at risk, and how Fair Future acts daily to stop this disease before it strikes.
Secondhand Smoke Is a Public Health Crisis
Secondhand smoke is a health crisis. In Indonesia, millions inhale it daily without choice. Children, pregnant women, and workers are paying with their lives. Clean air must become a right, not a privilege.
Menstrual Health and Dignity in Rural Indonesia
Fair Future tackles taboos surrounding menstrual health by empowering girls with access to hygiene, medical care, and education. It’s not just about health: it’s about restoring dignity and equality.
Medical Logistics in Rural Indonesia
Erwin prepares life-saving medical kits for health agents working in villages without doctors, pharmacies, or roads. Logistics becomes a vital part of healthcare for thousands in East Sumba.
Solar lamp delay impacts remote schools
A shipping delay has pushed back the arrival of 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps in East Sumba by around 15 days. This setback disrupts our plans—but it won’t stop us. We adapt, reschedule, and continue to fight for those without light, electricity, or access to healthcare. We will be ready by June 10th.
Education as Health in Rural East Indonesia
In remote areas of East Indonesia, every lesson is a shield. Schools are not just for learning—they’re places of care, protection, and disease prevention for children and their families.

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.
Light and Energy for Health
With partners such as SolarBuddy and Smart Energy Tech, we bring solar light and basic electricity to schools, homes, and health posts. Light at night means safer deliveries, homework after sunset, functioning fridges for vaccines, and fewer injuries on dark paths. Energy access becomes a tool to protect health.
