Teaching the importance of handwashing to prevent disease and improve community health.
In 2025, the Water Connections project aims to provide clean water and sanitation in Lapinu Village, improving health and reducing preventable diseases. The initiative will engage villagers in sustainable solutions, helping families achieve better health, nutrition, and a dignified life.
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!
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!

In ultra-rural villages where access is challenging, Fair Future brings clean water and vital health education. The dedicated teams teach residents and school staff about hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention. This #WaterConnections project benefits nearly 800 people, including 60% children, highlighting the transformative power of clean water and education.
In East Sumba, the Fair Future Foundation is transforming lives through its Water Connections program, providing clean water, improving hygiene, and promoting nutritious meals and healthy lifestyles for a brighter and healthier future for all.
In East Sumba, the Fair Future Foundation’s #WaterConnections project has improved access to clean water and hygiene. This initiative has reduced infectious diseases and improved living conditions by installing washbasins and handwashing stations. The Foundation has provided clean water to over 600 people in Laindatang, demonstrating the positive impact of their efforts.
Fair Future and Kawan Baik are improving lives in rural areas by addressing malnutrition and poor health through clean water access and nutrition education. Our projects, including #WaterConnections, teach communities to grow and cook healthy foods, ensuring healthier lives for children and families. With support and guidance, we empower villages to improve their diets, health, and futures.
In East Sumba, washing hands is a lifesaving act. Fair Future Foundation’s ‘Let’s Wash Your Hands’ campaign, through Water Connections, has installed sinks in schools and villages, helping children fight diseases and grow healthily.
The new “Picture of the Day” features the new healthy handwashing facility at Laindatang School. This is the first time such a facility has been built and put into service in a public school. It is part of a unique program aimed at effectively combating infectious diseases in a region greatly affected by health issues, especially those impacting children.
In the Laindatang region, where challenges such as lack of water, electricity, and sanitation are combined with the fight against high rates of infectious diseases like malaria, the Fair Foundation’s #WaterConnections project represents a significant step forward towards improving the living and health conditions of the most vulnerable communities. By inaugurating the first handwashing facility in a local school, we have taken a crucial step in our commitment to ensuring access to essential sanitation services for children, for whom regular hygiene practice has been a rarity until now.
This sanitary facility comprises eight sinks, six visible in the shared image, and two are located in new healthy sanitary facilities built by our team. It marks a turning point in Laindatang’s children’s daily lives. Previously, the opportunity to wash their hands was a luxury, with families having to walk long distances to the nearest river for water. This journey could only be done every two weeks or, in some cases, once a month. In the dry season, these challenges become even more overwhelming, further limiting access to water for basic needs.
The project is not limited to providing convenient access to water for handwashing; it is also a head-on fight against infectious diseases that have long afflicted the community, particularly malaria. By introducing these handwashing facilities, the Fair Future Foundation aims to introduce vital hygiene practices that can significantly reduce the spread of infections. This effort is even more critical in a region where children and families face the threat of life-threatening illnesses every day.
Beyond improving hygiene, this project highlights our commitment to sustainable development and community involvement. By working hand-in-hand with residents and tailoring our solutions to Laindatang’s specific challenges, we ensure that the benefits of these facilities will endure over time and continue to serve future generations.
Through the #WaterConnections project and similar initiatives, the Fair Future Foundation reaffirms its dedication to building a future where access to clean water, sanitation, and healthy living conditions is no longer a barrier to the health and well-being of the poorest communities in Southeast Asia. Our actions on the ground, guided by an in-depth knowledge of local needs and a desire to create a lasting impact, allow us to bring these communities closer to a healthier and safer future every day. Together, we are creating a future where every child has the fundamental right to clean water and good health.
