Some images of the Truck of Life cross the most rural and inaccessible villages of Sumba East in search of information to understand the people’s fundamental problems.
The Truck of Life goes everywhere where hardly anyone goes to bring medical care, water, and food and seek the correct information for developing future programs and those in progress.
You can make it go further, go faster, and meet those who need us. Whether in terms of access to health care, projects for access to clean water, education, emergency care and in the event of natural disasters. Its equipment and maintenance cost Fair Future a bit of money, but many things would not be possible without him. Without the Truck of Life, Fair Future wouldn’t be able to go anywhere that almost no one ever goes. He is an integral part of the team, and we rely on him to keep us healthy. He is a valuable ally and friend.
Thanks to him, we can bring our equipment to the #sdmbinudita site for the #waterconnections programs. It is also the Truck of Life which can bring us to the sites to collect the information necessary for tomorrow’s actions, the project studies in the most isolated and inaccessible villages and regions.
Go to sites where we have an ongoing project to plan, improve and build. The Truck of Life allows us to meet the most disadvantaged families regarding access to a healthy life and to plan actions that will enable them to have a better and healthier life. Thanks to him, we can meet, talk, smile at each other and builds projects together that will bring a healthier and more harmonious life to the people he meets. The #truckoflife doesn’t stop, and that’s good.
Without the Truck of Life, Fair Future wouldn’t be able to go anywhere that almost no one ever goes. He is an integral part of the team and we rely on him to keep us healthy too. He is a valuable ally and friend.
The Truck of Life? You can all support it by contributing. It will help us to make it go further, to help more people and to keep it in good condition, to repair it, to better equip it with equipment for medical care, with various equipment that will serve the communities in which he travels all the time.
Because sometimes he suffers, as you can see in these few images. The paths he takes most of the time aren’t paths; you have to be careful because danger is always present.
This is what we suggest you see in the pictures here.

The Truck of Life is an essential element of our on-site responses – It allows us to go where no one goes!
Our Truck of Life provides relief, medical care, food, water, and equipment to the sites. It helps our teams move around safely. This is its primary mission. The truck of life allows us to go where no one goes!
In the remote landscapes of Eastern Indonesia, where challenges are a daily affair and essential services are a distant dream, emerges a beacon of hope—the Truck of Life. This isn’t just a vehicle; it’s an extension of the Fair Future Foundation’s mission to bring critical medical and social aid to communities left behind by time and circumstance.
Navigating the intricate web of deteriorating roads, arduous weather conditions, and societal challenges, the Truck of Life accomplishes something extraordinary. With just CHF 0.56 per kilometre, it takes us to places even mapmakers have yet to reach. Its wheels roll through rugged terrains to deliver life-saving medications for malaria, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases that prey on vulnerable populations. But the truck’s purpose transcends mere transportation of medical supplies; it’s a lifeline for people in isolation, a rolling hospital where basic medical facilities are a luxury.
Embedded within the vehicle are dedicated medical teams equipped to administer primary medical check-ups, vaccinations, maternal and child health services, and essential treatments for common illnesses. Through the Primary Medical Care Program (PMC), we ensure that the Truck of Life becomes a cornerstone for healthcare access. It’s not just about reaching these communities; it’s about engaging with them, sharing knowledge, and empowering people with health education and preventive measures against diseases.
The essence of the Truck of Life lies in its adaptability and intimacy with the community. Working closely with local stakeholders, including Kawan Baik and the local health workers, we become community builders, not just medical professionals. We engage in community outreach programs, conduct educational sessions, and actively involve local actors to cultivate an ecosystem of well-being. This truck is a catalyst for transformative change, not just in healthcare but in the quality of life in the ultra-rural landscapes of Sumba.
Sustainability is integral to the Truck of Life’s operation. Long-term plans for maintenance, repairs, and replenishment of supplies are meticulously charted to ensure that this initiative remains functional and impactful for years to come.
Your support for the Truck of Life is an investment in human dignity, fairness, and eradicating the vast disparities that mark these regions. By fueling this journey with your contributions, you’re not just donating but becoming part of a larger narrative, a movement that defies limitations and shatters boundaries.
With careful planning, deep-rooted community involvement, and unwavering commitment to sustainability, the Truck of Life isn’t just a Fair Future Foundation initiative. It promises a fairer future, one kilometre at a time.
Thank you for entrusting us with your belief and, above all, for seeing the humanity in the lives we aim to uplift.
We cordially invite all captivated by this unfolding story to explore our photo gallery, witness this extraordinary effort, and further engage with our mission through our Instagram account.
