Light in Action…
Door-to-door training, every day
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.
For years, we’ve dreamed of bringing a solution to Lapinu, a remote village with no roads, water, electricity, or sanitation. Home to 30 families and 100 children, we are working on a Water Connections project with our international partners, planned for early next year. Stay tuned for updates!
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.

Kawan Sehat is expanding! We’re excited to introduce a new page in our children’s book promoting healthy living. This new section focuses on the dangers of smoking, especially secondhand smoke, which harms non-smokers, including children. This new page will be added to our Kawan Sehat book. Smoking is not healthy—smoking kills. Don’t smoke.
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.
A major change for us: After years of effort, we’ve acquired a new Isuzu Traga truck, thanks to two generous donations. This Euro4-compliant truck will transport heavy construction and medical equipment, as well as a fixed 2,000-liter water tank to rural communities without access to water. A game-changer for our work.
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!
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.
Our foundation’s success in transforming lives in remote areas of Sumba is owed to our devoted volunteers at Fair Future Foundation. Over 100 individuals work tirelessly every day, constructing water tanks, delivering medical aid, and educating communities about healthy practices. Their unwavering commitment ensures life-changing impacts.
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.
