10 active prevention posters in villages and schools
Children can't learn effectively in darkness or when suffering from chronic infections. By electrifying schools, improving nutrition, and providing treatment for common illnesses, we create safe environments for learning and development. In this way, education acts as a shield against poverty and social exclusion.

Building reservoirs to collect and store rainwater, improving access to clean water for communities in need.
Inside the Laindatang reservoir, a graduation scale measures every ten-thousand litres of stored water. This precise tool allows safe monitoring, controlled use, and long-term protection of clean water. In ultra-rural villages, measuring water accurately is not technical detail. It is prevention and survival.
Before water reaches the tank in Laindatang, it is filtered by hand. Custom-built filtration modules remove debris, organic matter, and insects, reducing contamination risks. This system turns rainwater harvesting into preventive medicine for families living far from any medical infrastructure.
A light steel roof now protects the Laindatang reservoir, shielding filtered rainwater from heat, light, and contamination. Built with villagers by Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, this structure turns rainfall into safe drinking water and prevents avoidable disease.
Laindatang water reservoir work required transforming raw concrete into a sealed chamber through seven protective layers. Each layer prevents contamination, stabilises the structure, and protects the health of families. This technical process is essential for long term safe water in East Sumba.
In Laindatang we build a 115000 litre reservoir by hand with villagers, shaping steel, timber, and concrete on a remote plateau. This work brings clean water to families who have lived without it and strengthens community health for the years ahead.
Repairing Laindatang’s hill road was essential to bring clean water. The slope was broken and unsafe, but now machinery can finally reach the site. A first step toward reducing disease and improving daily life.
For CHF 2245, you can build a ferrocement reservoir of 5350 liters, giving safe water to 15 people in East Sumba for more than 10 years. Each reservoir means fewer illnesses, more education, and dignity for families. Donate today and change lives.
Eight ferro-cement reservoirs in Hambarita now provide safe, filtered water to 120 people. Built with local skills, they improve health, hygiene, and quality of life for decades in one of East Sumba’s most remote areas.
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.
Katrina has spent three years as a Kawan Sehat health agent in Lapinu, battling an ongoing water crisis. Contaminated water fuels disease, sanitation is dire, and families struggle daily. In this 90-second testimony, she speaks of her village’s urgent need for clean water. Take action now!
Fair Future Foundation’s Water Connections initiative in Lapinu ensures sustainable access to clean water and sanitation. By implementing solar-powered pumps, reservoirs, and modern toilets, this project will significantly enhance the health, dignity, and future prospects of this remote village. Join us in making a lasting impact together.
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.
