In the scattered hills of East Sumba, 5,300-litre ferrocement tanks collect each drop of rain. Families help build and maintain them. Children drink safely, and women no longer have to carry 20-kilo jerrycans for hours. Water near the house is a primary source of health care.

Why ZEWO certification is essential for Fair Future

For Fair Future, obtaining ZEWO certification is more than recognition; it's a strategic and moral milestone. It confirms that we manage donations and field activities with rigour, transparency, and efficiency.

ZEWO certification sets high standards. Every donated franc must be used efficiently; administrative costs need to remain low. Communication must be honest and verifiable, and we must report regularly and transparently. This rigorous process will audit our governance, structure, projects, and financial management.

We are pursuing this process now because, after over fifteen years of impactful work and proven ability to transform donations into vital actions, it's essential to deepen our commitment to our donors, partners, and families we support.
We must demonstrate that our model, with no salaries and over 93% of funds directly invested in the field, not only stands out but also meets the highest standards recognised in Switzerland and beyond.

Achieving ZEWO certification will signal that Fair Future honours its humanitarian, ethical, and financial obligations to all who trust us. This will enhance our credibility, ease future dealings with institutional partners, and reassure donors about the effectiveness of their generosity.

The path ahead may be long—possibly months or a year—but we are determined to embark on it, understanding that it will strengthen our impact on those who need it most.

Thank you for believing in our work and being part of this unique adventure.

Alex Wettstein, for Fair Future Foundation
