We will construct eight ferrocement tanks in Hambarita to provide clean water to isolated families. Six of these are currently funded, but two remain unfunded. We require CHF 2,300 for each tank. Your support guarantees access to clean water for the most remote communities. Donate now and be part of this life-changing project.

In April 2025, the Fair Future Foundation launched the Malaria Spread Studies program in East Sumba, with a focus on the ultra-rural village of Umalulu. This region has long struggled with malaria, with nearly 55% of the population recently testing positive. Despite years of endemic presence, little has been done to understand why malaria continues to thrive here.
The Malaria Spread Studies aim to diagnose the real situation before proposing any solutions, just as a doctor would never prescribe medicine without first understanding the illness. For the first time, we are conducting a comprehensive field investigation to map out the factors that fuel malaria transmission.
To carry out this program, we developed a specialised digital tool: the Kawan Against Malaria App ("Good Friends Against Malaria"). This application enables local teams to survey every household in Umalulu by asking 65 targeted questions. The study is based on three key pillars:
This approach is unique in an area where resources are minimal and where little support exists beyond minimal governmental programs. Thanks to collaboration with local authorities, Kawan Baik Indonesia, Rotary International, and Rotary Against Malaria, this study aims to establish a precise understanding that will inform future prevention and treatment actions.
The Malaria Spread Studies are not just about understanding the disease; they are also about preventing its spread. They aim to spread awareness, give communities a voice, provide concrete data for strategic interventions, and create a model that can be replicated across other malaria-endemic regions.

Reaching the remote villages of East Sumba poses a significant challenge. The absence of roads, asphalt, and infrastructure makes travel difficult. The landscape is steep and rugged, often rendering it nearly impassable and transforming short distances into long, tiring treks. In certain areas, covering just two kilometers can take several hours due to these harsh conditions.
For each mission, we must bring along all necessary supplies. These villages lack water, electricity, and essential resources—essentially everything. Even for a brief stay of one or two days, we must transport our food, cooking essentials, and drinking water. Every medical instrument and SolarBuddy lamp needs to be manually carried in large quantities alongside packages of food that collectively weigh several tons.
To reach these villages, we must traverse dangerous and unmaintained paths, where vehicles risk getting stuck, breaking down, or overturning. Each journey involves calculated risks because these communities would remain isolated from essential resources without our efforts.
In the face of danger, we continue our efforts—for these journeys deliver more than just essential supplies. They bring light, medical aid, nourishment, and clean water to those without other means of access. Each kilometer traveled signifies a village reached, a child safeguarded, and hope restored for families.
