Together, we offer assistance to people according to their actual needs
Impartiality is the foundation of Fair Future’s mission. Our Swiss organization implements aid, relief and projects without discrimination, prioritizing the communities most immediately in need or at risk.
Demonstrate independence
The decision to offer social, medical, educational and food assistance is based on our assessment of needs in collaboration with local authorities, regardless of political, economic or religious interests. Fair Future’s independence is deeply rooted in the way we are funded.
You should know that almost 100% of our donations come from individual private donors who give small amounts, it’s a lot of responsibility for us, and we are indebted to their trust.
Therefore, Fair Future strives to freely assess needs, access populations without restriction, and provide the assistance that families, villages and communities need.
Demonstrate Neutrality
Fair Future and Kawan Baik do not take sides in political disputes and do not support the programs of political parties. We do an act of pure neutrality, but we are allowed to think in a personal capacity only.
Sometimes Fair Future cannot access a region for military, political, or natural disaster-related matters. Even if we will do everything possible to be able to access it, sometimes access is refused to us because of insecurity or because the primary needs of the population are already covered.
We provide comprehensive assistance to families in difficulty. But mainly social, medical, food, and logistical aid to people affected by disasters, epidemics or exclusion from health care.
Fair Future teams are made up of healthcare professionals, logistics and administrative staff recruited locally. Our code of ethics, mission, common sense, and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality guide our actions, ways of doing things and reflection projects.
Witnesses and testimonies
Neutrality, on the other hand, is not synonymous with silence. Our proximity to people in distress implies a duty to raise awareness of their fate and ultimately help improve their situation.
Fair Future and Kawan Baik seek to draw attention to the needs and sufferings of individuals, families, and communities when access to vital needs such as medical care, food, and clean water is hindered.
While sometimes our teams can witness acts of violence (social, financial, political, physical, psychological …), we encourage them to talk about it by noting the absolute facts.
Likewise, when another organization or government, in response to a crisis, responds to that crisis in an abusive manner, it is the duty of Fair Future and Kawan Baik to report these facts.
Demonstrate transparency and accountability
Fair Future and Kawan Baik assume and are responsible for reporting our actions to our beneficiaries and donors. We want to be transparent about our choices, but we cannot fight on equal terms with political or governmental decisions linked to new laws.
Also, we fight all forms of corruption, but we cannot endanger the members of our teams. Therefore, if we find ourselves in an impasse, we must accept and do our best, open a dialogue, and find a favourable outcome.
At all times, Fair Future and Kawan Baik conduct evaluations, critical reviews, and debates on our field practices and our positioning with the public on broader social, human, and humanitarian issues. These evaluations are necessary and very constructive to improve what we have done, plan to do, and are doing today.
List of drugs we need to buy
To make it simple and short, we urgently need a lot of medicines (see the list attached in the post) and sanitary equipment such as antiseptics, dressings and other small miscellaneous equipment. Indeed, friends, all our stocks are almost finished because we have prescribed or used everything, which is a good thing. On the other hand and from tomorrow, we can no longer treat patients except for simple problems that do not require medical treatment.
We urgently need anti-malaria drugs!
Fair Future issues an intense red alert linked to the case of malaria, which is reaching a critical level here in East Sumba, Indonesia. For weeks, thousands of malaria cases have been recorded here in East Sumba. This figure is nevertheless to be taken conditionally because, in many villages, people do not have an identity card or a family book or do not have access to medical care, so they are sick in silence.
