Lives in Progress…
Thousands of healthy meals/month
In the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.
Supporting innovative solutions for healthcare, clean water, and education in rural areas.
As previously stated, Fair Future has ceased the drilling project after nine months of extensive efforts. Over the last three weeks, our focus has shifted to an alternative solution: constructing a 100m³ underground rainwater reservoir to supply clean water to a community in urgent need. Project plans and cost estimates are attached for your review.
We have distributed our healthy living posters to local Puskesmas (health centers), and their directors were delighted. The posters are engaging and easy to comprehend, incorporating local characters and language. Teaching rural communities simple methods for disease prevention, such as handwashing, is truly rewarding.
Kawan Sehat health agents deliver essential medical care in remote regions where healthcare access is unavailable. Armed with new medical kits, they provide vital first aid, treat common illnesses, and work to prevent infections in vulnerable communities.
The Kawan Sehat app, developed by Fair Future, revolutionizes rural healthcare. It enables health...
In the remote communities of East Sumba, 20 new Kawan Sehat health agents have been certified through the Primary Medical Care program. These 19 women and one man are now essential providers of life-saving care in their villages, which lack formal healthcare facilities. Their dedication and increasing proficiency are crucial for the well-being of their communities, representing a significant milestone in rural healthcare.
This life-saving training is part of Fair Future Foundation’s mission to equip health agents with essential skills to treat illnesses and injuries in ultra-rural areas. The training empowers these agents to act swiftly and improve healthcare access for thousands of vulnerable people.
The three-day training session for 20 new Kawan Sehat agents concluded with the presentation of official certificates endorsed by Fair Future, Kawan Baik, and local authorities. The comprehensive program covered over 20 medical topics to equip these agents with crucial skills needed to deliver essential care in remote areas lacking access to healthcare services.
The Truck of Life has arrived at Rumah Kambera, East Sumba, after three days on the road, carrying medical supplies, training materials, and medicines for Kawan Sehat health agents. This equipment will help care for tens of thousands of people in remote areas with no medical access. Thank you for making this possible!
We’ve created dozens of recycled-material bags, marked with the Red Cross logo, to carry life-saving medical supplies for Kawan Sehat health agents. These bags, filled with medicines, disinfectants, and medical tools, will be loaded onto the Truck of Life as we begin the third year of our #PrimaryMedicalCare program in East Sumba.
We’re excited to share the Year 2 report of our #PrimaryMedicalCare program, detailing our efforts in East Sumba to bring healthcare to those without access. The report highlights our activities, achievements, and challenges. Feel free to contact us with any feedback or inquiries. Thank you for your support!
We are excited to welcome Erwin Umbu Dangu Ela, known as “Erwin,” as the new coordinator of the #PrimaryMedicalCare program. Erwin will oversee all activities, ensure smooth implementation on the ground, and support Kawan Sehat agents. A long-time volunteer since 2019, we’re thrilled to offer him this opportunity.
We’ve received the latest batch of pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, bandages, and medical equipment—hundreds of kilos worth—used in our #PrimaryMedicalCare program and infectious disease prevention efforts, especially malaria. More supplies are on the way. Thank you for helping us continue this vital work in East Indonesia.
