Hundreds of patients in remote villages receive care each week from our Kawan Sehat health workers trained in the Primary Medical Care Programme. In the absence of doctors or clinics nearby, these trained women provide lifesaving care for fevers, malaria, wounds, and infections. Your support helps keep this lifeline alive.
Where the Money Goes – 93 Percent Reaches the Field
Understanding how transparency turns donations into real impact/h3>
Building ferro cement reservoirs in Hambarita to provide clean water to 120 people.
Every donation to Fair Future Foundation becomes something tangible. clean water flowing from a new tank, medical treatment reaching a child in an isolated village, light shining in a school that never had electricity. Since its creation in 2008 under Swiss law, Fair Future has always pursued one clear principle: do more, spend less on administration, and serve those who are left behind.
93% of Donations Go Directly to the Field
Each year, on average, around 93% of every franc donated goes directly to our humanitarian programs: medical care, water access, sanitation, education, and emergency response. The remaining few francs cover only essential operational logistics such as transport, storage, and tools.
This is possible because Fair Future is built almost entirely on voluntary work. The foundation has no foreign employees and no paid directors. Alex Wettstein, who founded Fair Future and serves as its president, works full-time in the field as a volunteer. He receives no salary, as required by Swiss foundation law: “-…Members of the board are unpaid and act out of conviction, not profession…”.
Local Teams, Local Salaries, Local Strength
Our projects are carried out by Indonesian collaborators who live in the regions where we work. They are doctors, nurses, engineers, drivers, and coordinators who receive fair local salaries, aligned with national standards. This model respects the local economy, reinforces dignity, and ensures that nearly all funds remain within the communities themselves.
By avoiding foreign payrolls and expensive international structures, we can build more reservoirs, distribute more medicines, and train more health agents. This approach is rare — almost unique — among international NGOs.

Transparency and Accountability
Every franc is tracked, audited, and accounted for according to Swiss regulations. Fair Future is supervised by the Federal Department of the Interior (DFI) in Bern and registered under IDE CHE-114.715.376. Our annual accounts are verified by independent auditors, and all decisions are made by the Foundation Council, a volunteer body composed of five members based in Switzerland.
This governance model — without a salaried management layer — guarantees that donations are used entirely for their purpose: transforming lives through practical, measurable results.
Real Impact, Measurable Change
When you give to Fair Future, your contribution doesn’t disappear into administration. It becomes medicine for a child suffering from malaria. It becomes a solar-powered water pump. It becomes education and dignity.
Our programs — #PrimaryMedicalCare, #WaterConnections, #ChildHealth, #KawanAgainstMalaria — are built by communities, not imposed on them. They are born from local discussions, local labour, and local commitment.
“Every donation to Fair Future Foundation is a direct investment in real change. With more than ninety percent of funds going straight to the field, your generosity turns into health, water, education, and light.”
— Alex Wettstein, Founder & President
A Collective Effort: Our Volunteers
From the mountains of Sumba to the offices in Switzerland, hundreds of volunteers give their time, skills, and hearts. They design, build, teach, and care, without counting the hours. Their dedication is the invisible force that multiplies every franc’s power. Become a volunteer here.
Why This Model Matters
We are not an organisation that delegates or outsources compassion. We act ourselves. We speak the languages, we live among the families, and we witness both hardship and progress. Our lean structure is not an accident; it’s a choice that allows us to stay close to reality and far from bureaucracy.
The ultimate goal is simple: every donation should reach those who need it most.

The essentials
Primary Medical Care (PMC)
Life‑saving care where no doctors are available
In villages without clinics, our Kawan Sehat health agents—mostly women—provide first aid, wound treatment, antimalarials, antibiotics, fever management, and referrals. They see 700–1,000 patients each month across East Sumba. Ongoing training and resupply—guided by a 150‑page manual and regular intensive sessions—ensure care remains safe and consistent. Your support funds medicines, diagnostics, and supervision that save lives.
Clean Water Connections
Every drop collected is a life protected.
Since 2019, we have constructed dozens of ferro-cement tanks ranging from 5,000 to 5,350 litres, working alongside families, and a 115 m³ reservoir in Laindatang to ensure access to clean water. New projects in Lapinu add more tanks and sanitation blocks. Access to water reduces diarrheal diseases, improves nutrition, and enables girls to remain in school. Simple tools, local labour, and durable designs enable communities to maintain these systems independently.
Kawan Against Malaria
Prevention, diagnosis, treatment—village by village
Malaria remains endemic in East Sumba. We deploy long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), rapid blood tests, treatment, and IRS planning where needed. Our Umalulu baseline study maps hotspots and practices to guide action. Health agents educate families on night protection, early testing, and correct dosing. With consistent nets, diagnostics, and training, we reduce cases—and save lives.
Light for Education – SolarBuddy
When night falls, learning continues.
In 2025, we gained tax-free approval to distribute 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps for children and schools without electricity. The lamps charge during the day and provide light for homework, safety, and community study at night. Larger units support classrooms; smaller units are given to students. A yearly pipeline now helps us reach more villages. Light improves attendance, reading time, and learning outcomes.
Women’s Empowerment & Training
From caregivers to certified community health leaders
Most Kawan Sehat are women. Through intensive training, field coaching, and a modular 15-chapter curriculum, they gain clinical skills, triage methods, prevention tools, and record-keeping. Certification boosts confidence, income opportunities, and community respect. When women lead care locally, families seek help earlier, and health indicators improve for everyone—especially children.
Prevention & Health Education
Posters, school sessions, community talks
We run an expanding range of prevention campaigns: tobacco harms, waste & water safety, alcohol risks, and sexual health/STIs. Materials are designed for all literacy levels, printed on fabric for durability, and delivered by health agents in homes and schools. Clear visuals plus simple steps = real behaviour change that prevents illness before it begins.
Support Logistics – The Trucks of Life
If supplies don’t move, care doesn’t happen
Our medical truck and the Truck n’ Load carry up to four tonnes of medicines, solar gear, and water-system materials across ferries and off-road tracks. Logistics also enables emergency runs, resupply for agents, and equipment installations. This backbone turns donations into delivered care—on time, in the hardest places. Fuel, tyres, maintenance: all mission-critical.
Volunteer With Us
Field, workshop, or remote—there’s a role for you
Join on the ground in Sumba, lend skills in Bali or Switzerland, or help remotely with medical logistics, translation, mapping, media, grants or education content. We prioritise practical impact, safety, and clear tasks. Short missions and long commitments are both welcome. Your time can build a reservoir, train a health agent—or light a classroom.
Transparency & Swiss Expertise
Trust earned through experience and integrity
Since 2008, +/- 93% of every franc has directly funded fieldwork. Accounts are approved annually by the Foundation Board, certified auditors, and Swiss authorities. We operate with minimal overhead and only local salaries, depending on volunteer efforts and strict controls. Precision, accountability, Swiss Expertise and results drive every franc we allocate.
In‑Kind & Medical Donations
From a bandage to a solar panel—everything counts
We accept medical supplies (bandages, infusion sets, RDTs, malaria medication), water system materials, and educational and solar equipment. Thanks to our customs approvals, large humanitarian shipments can arrive tax‑free and be tracked to their destination. Donate items in Sumba, Denpasar, or Switzerland—our team ensures they reach those where they can save the most lives.
