#WEARETHEFUTURE | Fair Future teams are permanently present, dedicated to #PrimaryMedicalCare and the fierce fight against #ZeroMalaria. Our health professionals and volunteers work around the clock to provide essential health services and implement innovative strategies to fight malaria. This ongoing commitment is a lifeline to our communities as we strive to improve health outcomes and save lives in the face of significant challenges.
Support the Truck of Life
Support the Socio-Medical programs: Small acts of kindness create ripples of change. Donate to Fair Future and be a beacon of hope. Your contribution, any amount, sustains lifesaving programs and brings smiles to remote communities.
Urgent needs for medical equipment
The #TruckOfLife is not just a vehicle; it’s a gateway to a healthier and safer future for thousands of people living in the most remote regions of Eastern Indonesia.
You can’t truly grasp the importance of this truck until you’ve seen the brightened faces of a child suffering from malaria receiving their first antimalarial treatment or a mother giving birth under sanitary conditions for the first time, thanks to the medical supplies and healthcare professionals we’ve been able to deliver.
The Weight of a Kilometer
Imagine isolated villages where infant mortality rates are shocking due to preventable diseases like tuberculosis and malaria, where entire families are destitute because clean drinking water is as scarce as gold. Every kilometre the #TruckOfLife travels in this setting is a life-or-death journey.
It costs us just CHF 0.56 per kilometre to operate the #TruckOfLife, but that kilometre represents so much more. That kilometre might mean access to vital healthcare for a child suffering from polio or the transportation of a tuberculosis patient to a facility where they can receive lifesaving treatment. That kilometre could be the difference between life and death.
A Call for Solidarity
We at Fair Future are committed to this humanitarian mission because we know our work saves lives. But we can’t do it alone. Please continue making these kilometres a reality. Your donation, however modest, turns these small coins into hope, life, and the future.
I invite you to support the #TruckOfLife. Join this transformative journey, this movement of compassion and lasting change. Your contribution fuels this extraordinary trek, paving the way for a future where every child can access quality education, every family can drink clean water, and every community can live without the constant threat of infectious diseases.
Donating for kilometres is investing in the future of these communities, and it’s an investment whose returns are measured in saved lives, eradicated diseases, and built futures.
Thank you for joining our mission and becoming integral to this remarkable transformation.
Alex Wettstein, Founder, President, and Chief Medical Officer of Fair Future

FAQs
Where does Fair Future money come from?
We take immense pride in the incredible support we receive from our donors. It is through the generosity of individuals like you, as well as corporations and private foundations, that we are able to carry out our impactful work on the ground, directly assisting individuals and families in need.
For years, 100% of our income has been derived from private donors. It is the unwavering commitment of these compassionate supporters that enables us to operate independently and deliver vital humanitarian aid to some of the most remote and marginalized regions in eastern Indonesia.
An additional three percent of our income is sourced from public institutions, communes, and municipalities, further bolstering our efforts to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
How is the money spent?
Your invaluable donations play a crucial role in financing thousands of consultations, surgeries, medical treatments, and solutions aimed at improving both physical and mental health. Each contribution brings us closer to achieving our mission.
As a non-profit association, we are committed to transparency and accountability. More than 90% of our financial resources are dedicated to fulfilling our social, medical, educational, and infrastructural objectives. The remaining funds are allocated to general management and fundraising costs. We also maintain reserves to ensure prompt response to crises without delays. Rest assured that the utilization of funds received and utilized by Fair Future is subject to rigorous monitoring, and audited financial reports are made publicly available.
All our programs are implemented directly by our dedicated teams in the field, without any intermediaries. In exceptional cases, we may provide support to local medical networks that have direct access to those in need. This ensures that resources reach the intended beneficiaries effectively and efficiently.
Does Fair Future limit corporate donations?
At Fair Future, we uphold strict ethical guidelines when it comes to accepting contributions. We prioritize maintaining our independence and ensuring that our ability to provide humanitarian medical work is not compromised. As a result, we do not accept donations from companies and industries whose core business may directly conflict with or restrict our mission.
To maintain the integrity of our work, we do not accept financial support from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, extractive industries (such as oil, natural gas, gold, or diamonds), tobacco companies, or arms manufacturers.
It’s important to note that additional limitations may be in place based on the national donation acceptance policies of the countries where Fair Future operates and raises funds. These policies ensure that we remain committed to our principles and continue to make a positive impact on the communities we serve.
Can I choose where my money goes?
We deeply value the support and interests of our supporters and friends who may have a particular connection to a specific region or program in which we operate. While we understand the desire to contribute to a specific cause, we kindly request that donations be made as unrestricted funding.
Unrestricted general giving provides us with the flexibility to allocate funds where the need is greatest, including addressing under-reported and overlooked crises. It empowers us to swiftly respond to emergencies, social challenges, natural disasters, and economic hardships. Furthermore, it enables us to provide life-saving care to thousands of individuals affected by diseases such as Dengue, Malaria, and HIV.
The general support from our donors is indispensable in allowing us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. We are immensely grateful for your trust and generosity, which enable us to effectively address urgent situations and provide essential care and assistance.

Your donations are eligible for tax deductions
Fair Future is indeed a non-profit organization that has been approved by the Swiss state. As a result, your generous donations to Fair Future are eligible for tax deductions from your tax return.
By contributing to Fair Future, you not only support our vital humanitarian and medical work but also have the opportunity to receive a tax deduction for your donation. This deduction can help reduce your taxable income, providing a financial benefit while making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
We advise consulting with a tax professional or referring to your local tax regulations to understand the specific requirements and procedures for claiming tax deductions on charitable donations in your jurisdiction. They can provide you with accurate and up-to-date information regarding the tax benefits associated with your contribution to Fair Future.
Thank you for considering Fair Future as your charitable partner and for supporting our mission to improve the lives of individuals and communities in need. Your generosity and commitment are greatly appreciated.
