Local teams at work every day in the field
In the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.

East Sumba—where Fair Future implements life-saving programs for clean water, health care, and community resilience.
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
We’ve invested in a new scooter for Erwin, our Primary Medical Care field coordinator. This off-road-capable scooter will help Erwin reach even the most remote Kawan Sehat health agents to deliver and restock medical supplies. It’s a small investment of 1,000 Swiss francs, but one that will undoubtedly save lives.

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...
The daily case load managed by Kawan Sehat health agents through the #PrimaryMedicalCare program is truly remarkable. Each day, they deliver crucial first aid services, saving lives and enhancing health for individuals who lack access to basic care. Visit our photo gallery to see the extraordinary efforts of these women and the foundation at work on site.
Introducing our new logistics truck, the “Truck n’Load,” equipped with a 1,000-liter water tank to deliver clean water to remote villages. Tomorrow, we begin applying decals illustrating our efforts to provide water and sanitation. Alex will collect the truck in Surabaya next week—an incredible addition to our foundation!
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 distributed our healthy living posters to local Puskesmas (health centers), and their directors were delighted. The posters are engaging and easy to comprehend, incorporating local characters and language. Teaching rural communities simple methods for disease prevention, such as handwashing, is truly rewarding.
Kawan Sehat health agents deliver essential medical care in remote regions where healthcare access is unavailable. Armed with new medical kits, they provide vital first aid, treat common illnesses, and work to prevent infections in vulnerable communities.
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.
Today at the Laindatang Water Connections site, we met with the 78 schoolchildren, each receiving a bamboo cotton t-shirt with a drawing of 13-year-old Eben, a local child. The artwork symbolises our completed water supply project for the village, which includes tanks, toilets and access to clean water. The children were delighted not only to have clean water but also to receive these unique t-shirts!
