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.

Ways to help About us

PDF. Sumba Malaria Prevention Program 2023

The malaria control program in East Sumba is a collaborative effort involving various components such as prevention, diagnosis, treatment, capacity building, monitoring, and community engagement.

A healthier life thanks to the Water Connections program

Water Connections create gardens, people eat better and drink more, and malaria and other infectious diseases are reduced by providing healthy sanitary facilities.

Behavioral Impacts on Spread of Malaria

Several human behaviours strongly contribute to the spread or persistence of malaria. Here are some of these factors that lead to an increase in malaria cases.

Beyond Borders - Fighting Malaria Together in NTT

The foundation aims to establish a crucial initiative for screening, treating, and preventing Malaria in the highly rural and impoverished areas of East Sumba.

Malaria in East Sumba: All villages turned Red!

The latest reports tell us that in some areas, 100% of the villages in East Sumba have gone Red. Children under five and other vulnerable people are hard hit.

Happy to have water without going far to get it

The rain in East Sumba sometimes creates small floods, which the ground will completely absorb. But it feels good to receive water without going far to fetch it.

The Truck of Life wants to go everywhere

Every obstacle is an opportunity to help, to provide what families lack: Medical care, food, water, time & friendship. This is the mission of the Truck of Life.

Kullup is a hole in the rock to collect rainwater

Kullups are hand-dug holes in the rock of a hill. They are also a solution to the clean water crisis in ultra-rural Indonesia, where access to water is almost non-existent.

Young children struggle for water in East Sumba

In Sumba, children have to walk for hours to fetch water. It's a basic necessity we often take for granted, but it's a daily struggle for them. The dangers are significant.

POD | Helping ultra-rural families to have a healthier life

Thanks to the Kawan Sehat program, the health and well-being of ultra-rural populations are improving. We encourage healthy habits and increase access to health care.

POD | Access to clean water is vital for human health

Clean water is essential for human survival and health. Human beings need water for drinking, cooking, bathing and other activities of daily living. Without water, everything dies.

POD | Let's prevent malaria rather than cure it!

For the ultra-rural communities of East Sumba, learning how to protect themselves against malaria risks is vital to staying healthy, safe and alive.

POD | Reduce health risks with clean water for families

Families are concerned about access to water. By ensuring access to clean water, the health risks associated with contaminated water are reduced, and people's quality of life is improved.

POD | Medical care for children affected by Malaria

Malaria is a severe disease that can affect anyone, but children are the most vulnerable. With proper treatment and care, most children can recover from malaria.

POD | Check Blood Pressure as part of the PMC program

Another medical revolution which actively participates in the life preservation and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and generates excellent awareness.

Extract and Description of this News: Fair Future regularly presents reports establishing what we have achieved in all our necessary actions. The document that we offer you here explains what, all together, we have been doing over the past twelve months as part of this colossal project, Water Connections, Mbinudita Site. As a reminder, this project aims to provide access to drinking water and sanitation to more than 2,500 people whose homes are scattered over nearly 10 hectares. - Thank you for your interest.

Fair Future , October 2022 – The “Water Connections” project report, East Sumba, Indonesia – Mbinudita site.

Please find below the action report “Water Connections Project”, established by Kawan Ayu and Kawan Gogon, validated by the Fair Future Foundation, dated November 2, 2022.

Dear friends, dear Kawan,

What we have achieved in the space of over 12 months and out of the ordinary, to be very honest. Who could have imagined a few years ago that this village of #Mbinudia and its more than 2500 inhabitants (nearly 70% of whom are children), isolated from everything, without road access worthy of the name, without clean water, without electricity, without school too, would it be today what it has become? Who could have even dreamed of it as it seemed impossible to do? Who? To be very honest, not me.

And yet, today, as I write these few lines, we are proud to tell you that we have built a considerable school –#sdmbinudita-the most beautiful in all of Sumba, say the authorities, but you know that already. And that the more than one hundred children who frequent it now have access to clean water. For the first time in their life, they can open a tap and drink quality water, in infinite quantities, without getting sick or risking their lives.

So far, the teams of Fair Future and Kawan Baik foundations have already built, as part of the #waterconnections project, the site of #mbinudita, more than thirty (30) tanks of more than 6000 litres, six (6) complete sanitary facilities including two toilets, showers, laundry washing and water collection point. More than 10,000 meters of PVC pipes have been buried, connecting all these installations. We still have a lot of work to do. It’s an intense activity, as it should be noted that we are in the process of building eight (8) healthy sanitary installations.

2022 is already well underway, and we are not stopping. The programs continue and are also developing. We encourage you to check out all our news here to find out.

The Swiss Fair Future Foundation is a foundation board member, and all those who work here voluntarily in the field (Alex and Elisa) encourage you to support the foundation’s programs by donating. It’s only to help us help them. To do this, click on this link Kawan. Thank you so much.

We wish you a beautiful day wherever you are. Remember to take care of yourself and everyone you love. It is the most important.

Alex Wettstein – Fair Future Foundation – 02.11.2022, Rumah Kambera.

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.

Water Connections project in Laindatang Village

This village currently lacks access to water, resulting in widespread illness and malnutrition. Both children and adults are underweight and have insufficient access to food and water.

It is imperative that we take action to provide hundreds of people with access to clean water. The prevalence of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and infectious diarrhoea linked to contaminated water sources has taken a significant toll in this region. With the feasibility studies completed, we are ready to work.

Your click can make a difference in the lives of over a hundred families living in extreme conditions in this village by providing them with access to clean water and toilets.
