Lives In Progress…
Over 12,000 medical consultations provided
To reach ultra-rural villages, we rely on the Truck of Life to navigate rough, broken roads. This vehicle allows us to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, water, tools, solar kits, and food. Logistics play a crucial role in our program; without access to fuel, spare parts, and the commitment to long days on the road, we would be unable to reach the patients in need.

Promoting solar energy solutions to provide clean, sustainable power in ultra-rural communities.
The 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps have arrived at our base in Rumakambera after six months of challenges. These lamps will transform lives, offering safe lighting, improving education, and aiding medical care in villages without electricity.
In East Sumba, nearly 12,000 students face the challenge of studying without electricity. Through Light Up the Future, Fair Future Foundation is distributing 2,224 solar lamps to over 2,000 children in 24 remote schools, bringing safe, renewable light to improve education, health, and daily life.
Fantastic news! We’ve officially secured tax-free approval for importing 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps from Australia. This historic milestone makes Fair Future the first NGO to achieve duty-free humanitarian imports in Indonesia. These lamps will soon light up villages in East Sumba. Huge thanks to Rotary, SolarBuddy, and our teams for making this possible!
Check out our interactive map for the 2025 SolarBuddy lamp distribution! Yellow marks schools receiving 2,224 lamps, while gray shows over 100 schools still without electricity—affecting 10,000+ children. A long journey ahead, but one step closer to brighter futures. Click the map to explore!
In East Sumba, countless families exist without any light source. The lack of electricity forces children to embark on lengthy journeys to school at dawn, individuals cook under perilous conditions, and nighttime study becomes a significant challenge. Solar lighting provides a safe and sustainable remedy that enhances education, health, and security for these communities.
We’re close to finalizing the import of 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps from Australia to Indonesia—an unprecedented effort to bring light to children in East Sumba. After three months, 15+ meetings, and countless letters, we now await the final approval in Jakarta on Feb 3. This milestone will pave the way for future tax-free humanitarian imports.
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.
2024 units SolarBuddy lights are leaving from Canberra, Australia! 2000 children’s lights and 24 larger ones for schools will arrive in Surabaya within a month. We are preparing the customs documents and will use our Truck and Roll to pick them up. This vast operation will bring light to nearly 2500 people, transforming their lives
In ultra-rural villages lacking electricity, SolarBuddy lamps provided by Fair Future and Rotary illuminate kitchens and pathways at night. During the day, these lamps recharge when hung on trees or fences, preparing to light up homes and paths in the evening. This straightforward solution brings safety and brightness to families who need it most.
Supporting us is simple! You can contribute supplies at locations in Sumba, Denpasar, or Switzerland. We’re in need of educational materials, medical supplies, polio and malaria diagnostic tests, solar panels, construction tools, clothing items for children as well as books and bedding. Your donations will directly aid our ongoing programs. We appreciate your help!
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!
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!
