Ongoing HIV and AIDS education and prevention work
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.

Health agents working directly with families to provide primary medical care where no clinics exist.
In the remote region of Mbinudita, East Sumba, two dedicated health workers are making a difference through the Primary Medical Care program. Equipped with essential care guides, they deliver life-saving medical care and provide education to thousands. Their impact extends beyond health, influencing every aspect of community well-being. These women are more than caregivers – they are superheroes in their communities.
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.
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!
Kawan Sehat’s women health workers, through the Primary Medical Care program, are revolutionizing healthcare in extremely rural areas. Their unwavering commitment and specialized training allow them to save countless lives each day by providing essential medical attention for issues such as malaria, infections, and injuries.
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 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.
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.
