Mbinudita Program

The Mbinudita Integrated Program documents a long-term, multi-sector intervention led by Fair Future Foundation in ultra-rural Indonesia.
Over nearly four years, including the COVID period, this program combined education, primary medical care, water infrastructure, sanitation, electrification, and nutrition. Actions included the construction of a full school campus, more than 30 ferrocement water reservoirs, sanitation facilities, community gardens, and the deployment of up to eight Kawan Sehat health agents. Ongoing activities continue through Primary Medical Care and Nutrition, ensuring continuity, follow-up, and measurable impact.
