#WEARETHEFUTURE | For several months, nearly a hundred people have been on the ground here in East Sumba, often in challenging conditions. Website updates have been infrequent, and we apologize for that. Internet access is limited in our area. However, the #ZeroMalaria, #WaterConnections and #PrimaryMedicalCare projects yield extraordinary results. It's all possible because of all of you, and your support allows us to save so many lives.
The innovative initiative combines tech, community engagement, and compassion to help East Sumba residents in Indonesia. Exceptional maps result from this effort.
Imagine a Google map like no other, specifically tailored to track and address the urgent needs of individuals and communities. This innovative project, developed by Fair Future and Kawan Baik, harnesses the power of digital tools to bring about real change on the ground.
These maps are not just about providing directions and locations. They offer a comprehensive resource that helps understand the complexities of the region. They highlight critical issues such as the lack of clean water sources, sanitation, widespread illness, pandemic outbreaks’ impact, and malaria prevalence.
What makes these maps unique is not only their informative nature but also their origin. They result from countless hours of dedication by the foundation’s teams and local volunteers at the Sumba Rumah Kambera Base Camp. Their tireless efforts have made it possible to compile a wealth of data, providing a comprehensive view of the challenges.
These maps are not only a testament to past achievements but also a source of inspiration for the future. They showcase ongoing projects and efforts aimed at meeting identified needs, underscoring the importance of sustained support and collaboration.
It’s worth acknowledging that these maps reflect the power of combining technology with compassion. Fair Future and Kawan Baik are revolutionizing the approach to societal challenges by leveraging digital platforms. This innovative approach lays the foundation for a future where communities are empowered, their needs are met, and positive change is fostered.
Take a moment to delve into these unique maps, brimming with valuable insights and representing a remarkable collaboration between technology, grassroots action, and humanitarian values. Together, let’s transform these maps into pathways of progress, shaping a brighter and more equitable future for the people of East Sumba, NTT, Indonesia, and beyond.
We provide relief in case of Natural Disasters
This map was created and developed during the natural disaster of April 2021, the floods, landslides, ruptures of the retention dams put the foundation and all our volunteers in hard work, 24/24 for several months. Since then, this map has been used by our field teams and will be used during the next natural disasters.
Clean Water access - Site of Mauliru - East Sumba
Access to water for families is essential for their life, health, and well-being. In this sense, the implementation of sustainable solutions is one of our main objectives with the Fair Future Foundation. In addition, these programs for access to clean and drinking water are clearly part of the fight we have been leading since 2008: Improving the health of people, families, and communities, offering the possibility of increasing their income and their well-being…

Health problems are also increasing, as well as nutritional problems (famine and starvation), mainly affecting children and other so-called “vulnerable” people. The crisis related to the lack of clean and consumable water is, therefore, an absolute priority here to improve the health of the populations, but also the local economy.
That’s why we drill wells and create clean water networks in the most complicated areas. Where live communities which, for lack of drinking water, are in permanent danger. Where we implement these programs, people are in a situation of starvation or serious nutritional deficiencies. This is an observation that we make every day here, on-site.
