Lapinu is struggling to survive with no electricity, a lack of clean water, and children trekking difficult routes for unsafe supplies. Hear Ibu Ester’s heartfelt account of the daily challenges and illnesses they face. The Fair Future Foundation is initiating a clean water project because taking action is essential for their survival.
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.

Clean Water for Lapinu: Join Our Essential Initiative
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.
Phase III: Laindatang Water Connections Report
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.
Introducing the New Truck n’ Load for Water Projects
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!
Switch to Rainwater Tank After Drilling Ends
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.
Laindatang Drilling Halted: New Rainwater Harvesting Plan
After nine months of drilling efforts in Laindatang, Fair Future has stopped operations due to safety concerns and technical challenges. The focus is now on building a rainwater harvesting system to provide clean water to the village.
Laindatang Water Project Shifts to Rainwater Tank Solution
After nine months of drilling in Laindatang for the #WaterConnections project, we are halting the work due to technical and geological challenges. The new plan is to build a 100-cubic-meter rainwater reservoir to provide clean water for 300 people. Drilling will resume after the reservoir is completed.
Water Connections Project for Lapinu Set for 2025
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!
Water Project to End Extreme Poverty in Lapinu Village
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!
Laindatang Deep Well Testing, Hope for Clean Water
Fair Future continues its groundbreaking work in Laindatang, one of the driest regions in the world. During this crucial test phase of deep well drilling, the goal is to provide access to vital water for over 600 people, including many children. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that these remote communities can flourish through improved health, nutrition, and hygiene.
We are testing the Laindatang drilling
We purchased a pump to test at the Laindatang drilling site for the Water Connections Phase 3 project. Over the past three days, we’ve been testing the pump to determine if the water flow is sufficient for 600 people after six months of drilling.
Final Report: Laindatang Water Connections Phase 2
After completing Phase 2 of the Laindatang Water Connections, we have successfully provided clean water and improved health in Laindatang. This initiative has significantly upgraded their quality of life by reducing infectious diseases and promoting healthier lifestyles. Our comprehensive report details infrastructure progress, healthcare education programs, and ongoing efforts for a sustainable well-being future in this area.
