Swiss Gov donates to the Indonesian Gov! And us?

This Post relates to : Child Health | Healthcare Access | Support

Extract: Glad to see that Switzerland sent medical material to Indonesia!! But as Swiss Official Organisation, we are sorry to say that we have no illusions that how this vital material will be distributed, used! For sure, in Jakarta, the modern cities of java, and the people in the big hospitals. Some will be sold probably also, as COVID-19 here is also a matter of business! And unfortunately, nothing will be issued! Here, in the ultra-peripheral and rural regions of eastern Indonesia, where the Fair Future Foundation and its teams are currently located... Why did the Swiss Government give to a corrupt country? And not an honest Swiss Legal NGO?
