Lives in Progress…
Scientific medical studies underway
Malaria continues to pose a daily threat in this area. Through Kawan Against Malaria, we monitor cases, test all fevers, protect homes, and educate families. The use of bed nets, spraying, and prompt treatment turns statistical data into lives that endure quietly, rather than ending prematurely.
A community in East Sumba where Fair Future has launched clean water, sanitation, and primary medical care programs.
This picture shows Hambarita water reservoir plaques resting on the grass moments before installation. Each plate carries a local name because water is treated like kin. When a tank is called by name, people maintain it, clean gutters, and guard the lid. Eight new reservoirs will store rain, cut disease, and return time to families.
The 114.7 m³ rainwater tank in Laindatang, named Matawai Urang, is now fully connected to gutters and filtration, ready to collect clean water for 300 residents. This rainwater tank Laindatang project also features an information panel, sharing the story of safe water access for the community.
This new photo of the day shows Erwin delivering a Kawan Sehat certificate to Ibu Anggi in Laindatang. It’s not just a document, but a symbol of her essential role in healthcare delivery where there are no doctors.
In Laindatang, eight ferrocement reservoirs now provide clean water, transforming health and reducing disease. With a 113m³ tank underway, this project reshapes life for hundreds in an ultra-rural community.
A five-month humanitarian mission begins in Sumba, bringing medical care, water access, and solar energy to isolated communities. Fair Future is delivering 3 tons of supplies, launching a malaria study, and building vital infrastructure to improve lives where help is most needed.
For the past three years, Fair Future has been constructing water reservoirs in Laindatang to guarantee access to clean water. However, four remote families continue to face difficulties. With only four additional reservoirs needed, we can complete this important work. Help us take the final step toward providing every household in this community with secure access to water.
In May 2025, Fair Future is set to construct a water reservoir with a capacity of 110,000 liters in Laindatang, an isolated village grappling with severe drought conditions. This initiative aims to provide sustainable access to clean water for 300 residents—including 100 children—by utilizing rainwater harvesting and filtration techniques to combat the ongoing issue of water scarcity.
The Phase III Laindatang Water Connections report details nine months of dedicated work to address the water crisis in East Sumba. Despite facing numerous challenges, the community and Fair Future are committed to overcoming them and have proposed innovative plans for a 100m³ reservoir set to be constructed by 2025, guaranteeing sustainable access to clean water.
Fair Future’s planned construction of a 110m³ water tank in East Sumba will help address the severe water shortage. This vital project, if completed, will store rainwater for nearly 300 people, including 100 children, ensuring access to clean water in one of the driest regions in the world.
Our sanitation facilities, such as this toilet in East Sumba, offer clean and sustainable...
Fair Future’s medical teams, led by Dr. Narni, offer vital healthcare services to remote villages in East Sumba. Utilizing the Truck of Life, they address illnesses, combat malnutrition, and advocate for clean water access to ensure no community is overlooked. Their commitment is essential in regions where healthcare remains out of reach and infectious diseases go unchecked.
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.
