We will construct eight ferrocement tanks in Hambarita to provide clean water to isolated families. Six of these are currently funded, but two remain unfunded. We require CHF 2,300 for each tank. Your support guarantees access to clean water for the most remote communities. Donate now and be part of this life-changing project.
Why We Act for Dignity and Health
Since 2006, Fair Future has been on a mission to create lasting change in the most vulnerable and remote regions of Southeast Asia. Through collective action, we’ve built hospitals, provided clean water, and delivered essential medical services, turning seismic challenges into transformative opportunities for thousands.
Why Fair Future Acts Where Others Don’t for Health, Dignity, and Clean Water Rights.
In a disconnected world, taking action for others is no longer optional but essential.
Laughter and smiles play a crucial role in strengthening health, resilience, and community ties in rural villages.
Why We Do This?
Because no one should die of malaria, drink dirty water, or be forgotten.
There’s always a moment that changes everything. For us, it happened nearly twenty years ago.
A five-year-old child died in my arms in a remote Indonesian village in 2006. He had malaria. So did almost everyone else. There were no doctors. No treatment. Just suffering. And death. That moment made one thing clear: we cannot look away. From that day on, we decided to act.
Fair Future Foundation was born not from a strategy, but from heartbreak — and the unshakable belief that injustice, no matter how far away, is still injustice.
We do this because people walk all night to find dirty water. Many return empty-handed. Others return with illness: typhoid, dysentery, infections, kidney failure — consequences of neglect, not fate. All preventable. All unacceptable.
We do this because it’s the 21st century, yet millions are still abandoned, without electricity, healthcare, toilets, clean water, education, or a future. Entire communities survive in silence, outside the radar of systems that should protect them.
Healthcare workers provide essential care in remote Indonesia
And in today’s world, that silence is growing.
We live in a time of disconnection. Of shrinking empathy. In rich and poor countries alike, people feel increasingly alone, lost in collapsing economies, in systems that no longer support them. Many suffer in silence. They don’t know where to turn. And even if they did, there’s often no one there to answer.
Governments have failed them, and institutions ignore them. Only independent movements, people like us, step in, not out of pity but because we refuse to let dignity die.
We do this because sharing is not weakness, solidarity is not outdated, and taking care of others-even strangers-is still the most powerful human act.
Fair Future acts not because we must, but because we believe that every life matters — equally, fully, wherever it begins.
Those we serve are not statistics. They are people, with names, dreams, strength, and an extraordinary will to live—even in the harshest places. They are rich in values that the modern world forgets: resilience, humility, and quiet grace.
We are not here to make noise. We are here to build. Toilets. Reservoirs. Clinics. Light. Trust. And futures.
Because a better world is not imagined. It is built. Together.

Why We Act: 70 Photographic Reasons for Water Health and Dignity in Remote Villages.
Each photo represents a call to action and a face behind our daily work in forgotten communities.
Images express what words often cannot.
At times, explanations don’t suffice. Yet visuals convey it all: the agony, dignity, struggle, and spark of humanity that we strive to safeguard. This gallery traces Fair Future’s mission through the neglected regions of Eastern Indonesia over the years. It’s not merely a display; it stands as a testament.
Every photo represents a reason. A purpose.
Why do we endure hours of walking under the sun?
Why do we transport pumps, pipes, medicines, and light on our backs?
Why do we train health agents, construct toilets, and remain steadfast—even when others do not?
You will encounter faces—children fetching water, mothers relying on a health box nestled under a tree, elders smiling despite their hardships, and young girls aspiring for an education. You will witness pathways that barely qualify as roads, rivers devoid of bridges, and light sourced solely from solar lamps. You will observe despair, yet also dignity.
We act because no one deserves to be invisible.
Because it should never be acceptable to drink contaminated water.
Because dying of malaria in 2025 should evoke outrage, not be just another forgotten number.
These images don’t seek pity. They call for awareness. They remind us that every life holds the same worth, even when the world has chosen to overlook it. And that, in essence, is why we do this.
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.

Clean water is essential for fighting infectious diseases, malnutrition, and malaria. The Fair Future Foundation’s Water Connections initiative is committed to changing this situation in underprivileged villages by facilitating the provision of clean water.
Our main objective is to enhance communities' well-being and quality of life in remote locations by installing wells, tanks, and sanitation facilities.
