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.
Brief, impactful updates about Fair Future’s ongoing work and stories from the field.
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 entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the East Sumba authorities to improve our primary health care program. Through this collaboration involving the health, education and social services sectors, we will increase the number of Kawan Sehat health workers to ensure that rural communities receive adequate medical care.
After nine months of drilling efforts in Laindatang, Fair Future has stopped operations due to safety concerns and technical challenges. The focus is now on building a rainwater harvesting system to provide clean water to the village.
After nine months of drilling in Laindatang for the #WaterConnections project, we are halting the work due to technical and geological challenges. The new plan is to build a 100-cubic-meter rainwater reservoir to provide clean water for 300 people. Drilling will resume after the reservoir is completed.
Fair Future Foundation is developing a comprehensive Malaria Prevention Project for the Umalulu region. With a focus on prevention, education, IRS spraying, and detection, we aim to significantly reduce malaria rates and ensure long-term impact through local capacity building.
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.
Work is in full swing at Rumah Kambera, East Sumba, where we are preparing a three-day training session for dozens of Kawan Sehat health agents. Around 50 people, including doctors and nurses, will gather to learn how to provide life-saving care in regions with no medical resources. This is a unique, life-saving program.
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’ve completed two days of project studies in the ultra-rural village of Lapinu and hope to begin a six-month Water Connections program in January 2025. The project will provide clean water infrastructure and a well for nearly 60 families living in extreme isolation. More details to come soon!
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!
