Malaria Emergency | In order to effectively fight the ongoing malaria epidemic in our region, our medical teams need vital resources such as medicines, rapid diagnostic kits, laboratory equipment and two microscopes. In addition, it is very important that we have access to impregnated mosquito nets and indoor spraying equipment (IRS) to prevent any potential infection. Thank you from the heart.

What is this project led by Fair Future about? Rumah Kambera is the centre of life for all those who work hard in eastern Indonesia. We implement planned programs such as health and medical care for all, the Water Connections program, access to first aid for children and disaster relief planning. Our teams are always ready to receive anyone who asks for help or support. It is also the centre of reflection for an entire team that imagines the projects of tomorrow. Thank you very much Kawan

The Foundation Medico-Social Base Camp in Eastern Indonesia. A social and medical mission and creative living space.

Rumah Kambera is a place of risk assessment. We integrate into our choices and decisions the notions of risks for communities, what is good or bad for them, for people, children, and villages.

For years, our mission has been to develop, support and create humanitarian programs and actions related to education, training and medical care. That’s why we established Rumah Kambera in 2019, our base camp in eastern Indonesia.

Rumah Kambera, in a few words, what is it? A workplace, a social centre, and an open door for all. A home for them, for us.

The foundation develops and implements actions in eastern Indonesia (NTT) and East Sumba. To do so, we decided to coordinate our activities from what is now; “The Fair Future Base Camp” in the eastern regions of the country. In a village near Waingapu called Lambanapu.

At Rumah Kambera, Fair Future, Kawan Baik and all our friends here focus on absolute emergencies, such as access to primary and emergency medical care, the creation of sanitation solutions and access to clean water -the #waterconnections projects-, and access to water sources. Renewable energy, healthy food, and disaster relief. But also so that more children can access a school and a good education.

Rumah Kambera is a place to coordinate all our socio-medical and educational activities in favour of children, women, and communities in rural and peripheral regions where access to water, electricity, education or health care is almost non-existent.

We face major challenges in terms of engagement in the field: access to water, health, education or the simple fact of being able to go to school. Providing medical care, clean water, light for studying, building schools and improving solutions for access to knowledge and primary care are our main priorities.

A place where everyone is welcome to lend a hand, offer a help project, or collaborate with the Foundation’s volunteers and collaborators as part of their activities and programs. In addition, it is also a place of exchanges, conferences, training, and workshops, a public, organic garden, and a home of experimentation on what works and what does not.

This symbolic place in East Sumba runs at full speed, almost 24 hours a day. Successive collaborators are all members of our two foundations, but three people are now assigned full-time. Kawan Ino, Kwan Primus and Kawan Elthon are from Sumba and are in charge of our base camp. But they are never alone because the other teams take turns for missions, often lasting two to three months on site.

The activities that take place and are implemented there are extraordinary, unique, innovative and original. There is in this simple place a dynamic that one rarely sees elsewhere. As is the case during a natural disaster, we can find ourselves there by several tens, even more than a hundred. We are hundreds: Volunteers, doctors, nurses, architects, builders, logisticians, specialists in access to water… Yes, it is a magical place.

What are we doing in Rumah Kambera?

Medical and health care: We receive patients with health problems daily. Our on-site pharmacy and medical team can help people care for themselves by donating medicines, vitamins and dietary supplements. The most common diseases are related to lack of clean water, lack of healthy food, air pollution, joint and back problems, asthma, skin problems such as lipomas, fibroids, allergies, cancer;

Access to drinking water and sanitary facilities: Construction of central water points via the “Water Connections” program, drilling of wells, creation of healthy hygienic facilities, showers, biological water filtration system and information on water, how to commit to preserving it and using it in a healthy way for people;

Emergency relief programs in the event of natural disasters: Interventions in the event of natural disasters (frequent in the region), reconstruction, preservation of what exists, emergency medical care, creation of advanced aid stations, distribution of healthy food, notably drinking water;

Truck of Life Program: Rumah Kambera is the home of the “Truck of Life”. It is from there that he goes where almost no one ever goes. It provides medical care, distributes food, brings construction materials, transports medical teams to the sites, takes care of getting a sick or injured person to the hospital, etc…;

Creation and construction of school infrastructure, schools and health centres so that everyone can have access to health care and school;

And all other social, medical and infrastructural activities related to the mission of the foundation in the field;

This is Rumah Kambera, a magical place

An absolute emergency | #waterconnections - Laindatang site, East Sumba. A project entirely linked to the program to combat water-related infectious diseases, malnutrition and infant mortality. The fight against Malaria in East Sumba is one of our priorities with the primary medical care project for children in ultra-rural areas. This achievement will save lives here.

Water Connections - The Map

That of the Water Connections Project can be seen here Kawan. What remains to be done so that everyone has access to clean and healthy water?

There are more than forty toilets, more than thirty tanks between 3,500 and 25,000 litres, three deep boreholes, more than fifteen kilometres of HDPE pipes that we have buried, and thousands of fittings and taps. See the full Map here.

Testimony and speaking out

Our proximity to communities and families in distress implies a duty to raise awareness to improve their living conditions or their situation.

The Fair Future or Kawan Baik teams may witness violence, injustice, and deliberate acts and must testify.

Testimony is the act of becoming aware, in private or public, of what we see or have seen happening in front of us and by documenting these acts, we report.

Sometimes Fair Future speaks out publicly to highlight a crisis, expose abuses, challenge the diversion of aid, or speak out against policies that restrict access to health care, education, food and all other forms of social protection.

Supply and logistics

Fair Future already helps thousands of families every year but we are struggling!

However, one of our main problems is that we don’t have enough equipment and not enough medicine when we should always have enough material for the work to be done and for the patients to be treated.

In particular for the response to emergencies or in the event of natural disasters, when supplies must be needed within 24 hours.

But also for long-term programs, where a regular supply of equipment and drugs is essential. Fair Future and its teams cannot respond to and deal with all requests due to a lack of resources.

Minimization of risks for everyone

The actions carried out on the ground by the Fair Future and Kawan Baik teams are based solely on needs, regardless of political, economic or other interests.

On the ground but also everywhere else, our teams communicate and dialogue on a daily basis with communities, village authorities and regional governments, to facilitate access and supply to medical care, clean water, and food sufficient for the inhabitants of villages and rural communities.

Fair Future and Kawan Baik do everything possible to minimize the risks for our teams and the villagers to provide them with what they need.

The Fair Future teams

“You never know when it will happen, but it will happen again.”

When a health or social crisis affects one of the regions in which we are already, the Kawan Baik (good friends) of Fair Future who are present will mobilize to assist.

Fair Future, as it often does, can mobilize personnel from the region with whom we often work, including a group of over one hundred volunteers. Specialists can also be sent on-site from one of its logistics bases in Denpasar or Waingapu. Our teams include medical personnel, logisticians, water specialists, and project managers.
