We provide solutions for a healthier and more harmonious life in rural areas.

Dear kawan {name}, Fair Future is a Swiss organization recognized for pure public utility. We offer social assistance, medical care and education access and create economic opportunities for communities, families and individuals affected by poverty, health crises, epidemics, natural disasters and food or water shortages. Thank you for being here with us.

Fair Future team and its collaborators are happy to send you this new newsletter which explains what we are doing on the ground here in East Sumba under challenging conditions. If you need more information, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to answer you as soon as possible.

Dear Kawan {name}, hello everyone from East Sumba; how are you?

I am pleased to write you these few lines to inform you of the progress of our projects and to tell you that everyone is in good health, despite the fatigue linked to the harshness of the work on site.

Over the past three months, over ten 6,500-litre Ferro-cement tanks and four sanitary facilities have been built. We are currently completing new clean water tanks and new healthy sanitation facilities in the most rural areas of eastern Indonesia.

Health teams, water specialists, boreholes and builders are on site. With the help of the entire local community - strong women, brave men, willing children and even brave animals - we are working hard to complete this titanic task of providing access to clean water for an entire region. We have until next December to end the #waterconnections project on the Mbinudita site because other socio-medical projects are pending. This is the goal that Fair Future and Kawan Baik have set themselves.

Note that we are seeing a fundamental change in the habits of families who benefit from the "Water Connections" program. Gardens are created, people eat better, drink more, have more energy and are much healthier. And that's magic. It's a dream come true in a way, replacing medicine with healthy water...

The needs are enormous. They always have been. To summarize them is to talk about the lack of medical equipment, especially for treating emergencies in rural areas, children's wounds burn like Assia and medicines.

For the drilling program linked to clean water access, we are always looking for a second-hand truck (which makes it a big van) to transport the heavy materials, the drilling machine, the sand, cement, pipes, and pumps. That is between 3 and 5 tonnes of equipment for each borehole.

So if you feel like it, you can help us because we lack financial resources, but also material and even human resources despite the nearly fifty volunteers working on the work sites every day.

In advance, a huge thank you to all of you.

Access to better health has always been the primary mission of the foundation. We are indeed, and above all, a medical organization. It was a dream; it is now a reality!

Healing people by giving them access to water in quantity and quality is incredible. Yes, people are healthier and less sick.

Here is the latest news from the foundation and our work in the most isolated and ultra-peripheral regions. Where we are, hardly any roads lead, electricity is scarce, and internet connection is often impossible. Water, medical care, food, and so many things are missing, but we are changing that.

What does "Kawan Baik" mean?

To us, you are Kawan {name} and a part of us all. I'm Kawan Alex, and some people often ask us what "Kawan or Kawan Baik" means.

Let us explain: In Indonesian, "Kawan" means "friend". When you add "Baik" to it, it means "My good friend".

Simple, isn't it? That's what we all call ourselves here.

About this Newsletter

Dear {name}, this newsletter is sent to you twice a month only if we have added new content, stories, galleries or podcasts to Fair Future.

Fair Future does not sell anything: We only write to tell you what we do and how we do it. To share our joys, our laughs, our problems and what the people here are feeling. This is what any organization essentially financed by private funds like our Swiss foundation must do.

Independent, Fair Future acts impartially. This independence of action is rooted in its funding, provided 100% by private resources. This is why your support is essential.
