To reach ultra-rural villages, we rely on the Truck of Life to navigate rough, broken roads. This vehicle allows us to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, water, tools, solar kits, and food. Logistics play a crucial role in our program; without access to fuel, spare parts, and the commitment to long days on the road, we would be unable to reach the patients in need.
Fair Future’s vision: supporting healthy lives through clean water, medical care, and education.
Child malnutrition in rural areas affects children’s physical and mental well-being. The Fair Future Foundation is dedicated to improving child health and nutrition through sustainable food programs and education, working directly with families to provide balanced diets for their children’s healthier futures.

Building a 5,000-liter ferro-cement water reservoir in remote areas costs about 12 million IDR (700 CHF). This reservoir provides clean water to hundreds of people, especially children, improving health and reducing disease. Your support can help us build the next reservoir and transform a community.
The Fair Future Foundation’s Water Connections program provides clean water to remote villages through manual construction of water reservoirs, reducing waterborne diseases and improving living conditions for women and children.
Our foundation’s success in transforming lives in remote areas of Sumba is owed to our devoted volunteers at Fair Future Foundation.

Their unwavering commitment ensures life-changing impacts.
The training manual for Kawan Sehat health agents in the #PrimaryMedicalCare program, containing 14 modules over 150 pages, will be reprinted after revisions and additions. New modules will enhance the training to ensure these agents can fully address the needs of those who lack access to medical care in their remote areas.
As part of our medical prevention and healthy living programs, we are launching four new campaigns: smoking dangers, environmental preservation education, STD awareness, and the risks of alcohol consumption. These will involve specific training and new posters distributed in ultra-rural villages, schools, and medical centers in East Sumba.
For our #PrimaryMedicalCare program, the Swiss Foundation has decided to replace plastic medical kits with sustainable and eco-friendly backpacks made from recycled materials.

After two years of uninterrupted success, our #PrimaryMedicalCare program is evolving in August 2024.
