Hundreds of patients in remote villages receive care each week from our Kawan Sehat health workers trained in the Primary Medical Care Programme. In the absence of doctors or clinics nearby, these trained women provide lifesaving care for fevers, malaria, wounds, and infections. Your support helps keep this lifeline alive.
Fair Future’s vision: supporting healthy lives through clean water, medical care, and education.
We are thrilled to announce that Elma, who has been with us for several months, will join our team as a nutrition expert. She will be integrated into our #PrimaryMedicalCare and healthy living programs. Elma’s expertise will greatly benefit rural communities, improving their health and well-being. Welcome, Elma!
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. Over 100 individuals work tirelessly every day, constructing water tanks, delivering medical aid, and educating communities about healthy practices. 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. These sturdy bags can store and transport all the necessary medical equipment. Decorated with a simple red cross, it is also our way of paying tribute to the ICRC.

In 2024, we’re working on distributing 2,000 SolarBuddy solar lamps to 2,000 children and families, and 2,000 homes across East Sumba. These villages and schools have no electricity. This project, in collaboration with SolarBuddy, Kawan Baik and Rotary International, will bring light to homes and schools.
After two years of uninterrupted success, our #PrimaryMedicalCare program is evolving in August 2024. With a stronger focus on advanced training for Kawan Sehat health agents, we aim to meet the immense healthcare needs, covering 20 of East Sumba’s 22 districts, and ensuring medical supplies for the next 12 months.
