2021 annual activity report was written by Elisa Wettstein, a Member of the Foundation Board.
We are happy and proud to provide you with the accounts and the 2021 annual report linked to the actions of the Fair Future Foundation in the field.
With a little delay, we publish our annual activity report 2021, which we apologise for. This delay is mainly related to a schedule in the field, which leaves us too little time for administrative tasks. As always, for so many years now, we can congratulate ourselves on the work accomplished by our teams, but also those of Kawan Baik Indonesia with whom we work so hard, and all the volunteers who bring us their help and incredible support.
Fair Future, since 2008, it’s perhaps an operation unique worldwide. Indeed we have no employees, only volunteers and good friends -the famous Kawan Baik-who team members of Kawan baik Indonesia.
The people of the foundation active in the field are the president and the secretary of the foundation, or Alex and Elisa! They are the ones who are involved in the programs. They ensure everything is fine, that the programs developed are helpful and that the funds invested are wisely invested. This is also what makes our organization unique.
For all of us, the year 2021 was, of course, that of Covid and the consequences of the Pandemic. This kept us very busy, as you can read in the report. It was also that of the natural disaster of April 2021, which hit us all hard where we are active in Sumba East.
It was also when thousands of medical treatments were carried out, including surgical operations. The year of the beginning of the Water Connections program still occupies us today. Or how to improve people’s health in rural areas with clean water instead of medicine.
And to be honest, Kawan, so many other things as the Truck of Life, rumah Kambera, rebuild Mbinudita programs!
2022 is already well underway, and we are not stopping. The programs continue and are also developing. We encourage you to check out all our news here to find out.
Thank you very much for your help and support, Kawan.

The foundation’s work in a few pictures
2,224 SolarBuddy lamps have been installed from Surabaya to Sumba to ensure power safety and education in 24 villages.
A humanitarian mission from Australia to Rumah Kambera transforms logistics into a sustainable health impact.
After months of preparation and coordination, 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps have reached their destination in East Sumba. From the port of Surabaya to the new storage space at Rumah Kambera, this operation marks a turning point in Fair Future’s logistics and outreach capabilities. These are not merely boxes of lights but instruments of prevention, education, and community resilience.
Cleared tax-free under a historic humanitarian exemption, the lamps arrived in Indonesia thanks to the unwavering support of SolarBuddy Australia and Rotary International. Once in Denpasar, our team meticulously documented, repacked, and staged each lamp for safe transfer across land and sea. Volunteers carefully loaded every box into the Truck n’Load and partner vehicles for the journey eastward.
In Rumah Kambera, a dedicated storage facility was prepared to receive the shipment. The bright yellow boxes, neatly stacked, now fill the foundation’s new warehouse, ready for deployment to 26 ultra-rural villages and dozens of off-grid schools. The SolarBuddy Tracker app, developed in-house, will ensure every lamp is registered, traceable, and linked to its recipient.
These lamps are more than solar-powered devices. They reduce the risks of burns and respiratory issues from kerosene, allow children to study safely at night, and allow families to cook and walk without fear in the dark. Light becomes a tool for injury prevention and educational equity in areas with minimal access to healthcare.
Each step—from customs clearance to local coordination—required precision, documentation, and tireless dedication. Behind every lamp are names, hands, and kilometres travelled. This distribution is part of a long-term commitment to improving living conditions through sustainable, community-driven solutions.
The lamps are here. The mission moves forward. What arrives today is light, dignity, protection, and future opportunity.
We cordially invite all captivated by this story to explore our photo gallery, witness this extraordinary effort, and further engage with our mission through our Instagram account.
