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
For the past 15 years, the Fair Future Foundation has tirelessly pursued transformative change in humanitarianism. Starting from modest origins, it gradually expanded its reach to exert a significant global influence.
Through dedicated efforts and unwavering commitment, Fair Future has emerged as a beacon of hope, empowering communities and shaping the landscape of humanitarian aid worldwide.
In February 2024, we celebrated our 15th anniversary, which led me to reflect on the profound impact Fair Future has had over the years. This milestone serves not only as a celebration, but also as a recognition of the committed and unwavering team led by myself, Alex Wettstein – who have been dedicated to improving communities since day one.
As I look back on our journey, I am reminded of the myriad of people whose lives we have impacted – stories of strength and aspiration that have taken place in some of the most remote areas of East Sumba and beyond. All of it has served as a testament to our dedication to creating tangible change; from setting up temporary health clinics despite the sweltering heat outside to navigating treacherous overland trails just to be able to care for those in need.
Despite the celebrations, we cannot turn a blind eye to the harsh truths that persist. Malaria, tuberculosis and polio continue to ravage innocent lives with devastating effects on families and communities. Hunger and famine wreak havoc on the foundations of society, robbing children of their opportunities while perpetuating cycles of impoverishment. We strive to address the real causes of suffering and inequality rather than simply providing temporary solutions. The hashtags #PrimaryMedicalCare, #ZeroMalaria, #WaterConnections and #TruckofLife represent our unwavering quest for lasting transformations that empower communities to take charge of their futures.
Fair Future is distinguished by its proactive approach, as we don’t simply give funds and walk away. Instead, we engage on a practical level by working closely with communities in need. Our initiatives range from educating children on hygiene to performing critical surgeries in remote villages; each endeavor is fueled by compassion and unity of purpose.
As we look forward, I am humbled as we reflect on the overwhelming support we have received from people around the world. Your unwavering generosity has been imperative to the success of our organization, keeping us going during difficult times. However, our mission is far from over; many lives remain untouched and injustices persist that must be addressed. This inspires us to continue our efforts to make a difference. As we toast to the past fifteen years, let us reaffirm our commitment to our future mission. We must remain steadfast in our solidarity as we work to create a world where healthcare, education, and clean water are guaranteed human rights rather than luxuries. Together, we have the power to transform despair into optimism for future generations.
Thank you for being a part of this remarkable expedition. May we continue to make an impact, show compassion, and make a difference over the next fifteen years.
