Care In Motion…
Nearly 200,000 liters of clean water capacity built
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.

Health agents working directly with families to provide primary medical care where no clinics exist.
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.
With our Rotary International partners, we’ve printed thousands of posters promoting healthy living and disease prevention in regions where diseases like malaria are endemic. These posters, available in both laminated and fabric formats, will be distributed across ultra-rural areas, schools, medical centers, and public spaces.
We’re excited to introduce a new guidebook for teachers and storytellers using our Kawan Sehat book for children in isolated rural areas. This guide offers a clear, step-by-step approach to explaining the book effectively, ensuring that vital information is consistently and clearly conveyed. It will be distributed to all teachers along with the Kawan Sehat book.
The first medicines are arriving, and we’re sorting and packing them. In a few days, we’ll transport them to East Sumba with our two fully loaded trucks. These medicines are vital, as we’re nearly the sole provider for hundreds of thousands of people. Thank you for supporting the third year of our #PrimaryMedicalCare program.
The Primary Medical Care program provides crucial medical aid to the isolated regions of East Sumba, where access to healthcare is limited. Your support will help sustain this vital mission and provide essential treatment to those in urgent need.
As part of our #PrimaryMedicalCare 2024-2025 program, we are thrilled to announce that the Swiss Foundation has donated the first third of the annual budget—21,446 CHF (392 million IDR). This funding allows us to restock medical supplies, purchase medicines, and manage logistics for the next 12 months.
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.
