Some pictures of the 35’000 people we help annualy
The foundation provides free medical care and helps people in need access to this fundamental right, which is access to medical care and good health. Among them are newborns, many young children, many teenagers, young adults, pregnant women, ancient people, some of whom can no longer walk and are locked in unhygienic places.
As a wealthy nation, we have both the capacity and the responsibility to support communities around the world so that they too can benefit from the gains of development.
In 2019, we created the Fair Future Indonesia, which is the official representation of the Swiss Foundation on Indonesian territory. This new organization allows us to develop and focus our activities in the poorest regions of Indonesia and even Southeast Asia.
Nusa Tenggara Timur, Sumba and these ultra peripheral and very rural lands. Where nearly 450,000 people live without water or electricity, it is now our main place of work. These medical activities are organized from our base camp in Lambanapu (Sumba East).
The issue of access to medical care in rural and ultra-peripheral regions
The rural communities of this ultra-peripheral region do not have access to medical care, even the most basic. Indeed, the distance separating the villages from the nearest health center is very large. The roads are difficult, they are mainly dirt or pebble roads on which only an all terrain vehicle can access.
In addition, these health/medical centers are only open very occasionally; like one day for children and one day for adults, and this only per week (when they open). These centers are not equipped with medical equipment, no drugs, and medical personnel are often absent. These same health centers, for the most part, do not have access to water either.
Health care is also expensive and people in these rural communities cannot afford anything. As a result, sick people do not go to a doctor and often the consequences are disastrous in terms of infant mortality.
Do you know that the foundation has been treating over 5’000 patients per year since 2011?
- 9.5 million children under five are malnourished and don’t have any access to Health Care;
- More than 3 million (or 12%) of children under five years of age in Indonesia suffer from wasting;
- Almost two out of every three children under two years of age, (or 57%), in rural areas are anaemic;
- Only 42% of children aged less than six months are exclusively breastfed, and only 36% of children consume appropriate complementary food.
- 90% of people don’t have health insurance. Everywhere in Indonesia, the majority of people have no access to medical care.
Indonesia’s health system is failing to provide even the most basic care to vast swathes of the population. Many who can not afford doctor’s fees often receive no treatment at all, while the wealthy fly abroad for a check-up. The system is plagued by under-funding, decentralisation, lack of qualified staff, rising medical costs, and outdated medical equipment.
Since the Foundation keeps medical and social statistics, we see that the numbers are increasing every year.
From a few thousand to tens of thousands of patients now! And linked to the health and economic crisis due to COVID-19, this continues to increase.
All these data are in any case submitted to local health authorities for statistical purposes and above all to witness what is happening. This confidential information concerns the types of patients we receive: Either the type of illnesses, social origins, ages, treatments administered, examinations carried out by our medical teams.
The foundation also aims to improve the daily life of the local community in suffering, whether they are affected by a situation of social vulnerability, emotional or medical, or suffering from a disability. We just help people, we find the best solutions for them using what we do since 2010!
We are working on the development of sustainable actions, aimed at the concept of self-sufficiency.
We welcome and generally take care of comforting hundreds of patients at each medical event. We bring comfort, empathy, and share moments to try to understand the issues of these people who often have nothing at all. Among them are newborns, many young children, many teenagers, young adults, pregnant women, ancient people, some of whom can no longer walk and are locked in unhygienic places.
In Indonesia, a huge number of poor people with jobs, however, remain vulnerable to a return to total destitution! Four (4) Indonesians are richer than one hundred (100) million of the poorest
Everyone we meet every day, suffer from diseases and problems mainly related to fatigue, malnutrition, nutritional deficiencies, infections, skin diseases, untreated diabetes, infected wounds, many young children suffer respiratory infections, asthma, chronic bronchitis, vitamin deficiency. The list is very long, but every day we face new health problems.
The main goal, the vision of the foundation is to treat people, to offer free medical care. As a whole, without any difference. Access to medical care in this huge country of 270 million people (4th world population) is not a right, but a privilege. We also ensure that the conditions of medical care correspond in all respects to those expected by the local population. Meant by that, we provide the bulk, not the superfluous that could be misunderstood by the local authorities.
Access to health care and medical care should not be just a matter of chance, but a right to which everyone should be equal.
Thank you very much for your concrete help and your love, to offer a bright future to many people and their families, communities also!
Linked projects
- Mbinu Dita – since August 2020 we are rebuilding a school and community centre in a very rural area of East Sumba. Thanks to this project, 100 children will soon return to school. It will also be the heart of our activities and projects with this community which counts about 300 families. We can’t stay on-site for more than two nights for logistical reasons there is no access to water and electricity;
- Hence, Rumah Kambera is a central and indispensable point in this long-term project to organise, plan and manage all of Mbinu Dita’s project from there;
- First Aid Kit – A project that aims to bring first aid kits to every school in East Sumba. Indeed, due to geolocation and the terrain, rural areas of Sumba do not have access to primary health care. For example, a simple scratch on foot (children and adults alike are mostly barefoot) can quickly become infected and become a significant injury. To prevent this, Kawan Baik Indonesia and Fair Future Foundation will provide first aid kits to more than 40 schools as well as train teachers on primary care treatment;
- Rumah Kambera: For more than 15 months, the Kawan Baik Indonesia foundation and Fair Future Indonesia have been working hand in hand to set up programs in the rural regions of the territories of eastern Indonesia. The continuation of numerous projects, the establishment of micro-actions and the involvement of young people from the region in volunteering actions requires a place of life and activity. We bring sustainable solutions to communities leaving in rural areas, improving their lives through health, education, water and energy.
- Charis Schools – Access to education and knowledge. In collaboration with a network of volunteers and teachers from “Charis” foundation, we will organise training, conferences on subjects related to education, nutrition or health which will then be transmitted and taught in forty schools of East and West Sumba;
- Access to water – Rumah Kambera will also make it easy to collaborate with experts, knowledge sharing and to study needs. One of the main points is the lack of access to water; difficulties to rely on rain-water; we, therefore, wish to research and develop by using the resources of the island, ways to access safe and clean water. It is a long-term project that requires a “base camp” and suitable and functional premises;
- Let us go where no one goes – In the most inaccessible territories, live thousands of people who do not have access to the most basic needs in order to ensure them a healthier life, or basic medical care, access to drinking water so as not to be ill, or a source of light in order to read or study for children. This will also and above all allow us to provide medical care and take the children or even a doctor or a dentist in the nearest town which is more than hours away from where the foundation is active. A vehicle will allow the foundation to be able to get there by bringing equipment and this in safety for our volunteers and specialized collaborators;
- Permaculture – One of the greatest assets of this house is the land it sits on; large and suitable for cultivation, we will create a garden in collaboration with permaculture experts; the harvests will allow us to cook for the volunteers and the surrounding community. We will also organise training on nutrition, permaculture, experiment and find answers on how to cultivate this calcareous soil and adapt to the climate of the island where it rains only two months a year.
Rumah Kambera will be the heart of this project; preparation, teacher training and follow-ups will be done in this “base camp”.

Together for a better life, with Fair Future, Kawan Baik and all of you!. Let's identify the problems and find good solutions.
We are always trying as Fair Future, with Kawan Baik Indonesia, to bring sustainable solutions to communities living in rural areas, improving life quality with good solutions related to access to basic medical care, health, education, drinking water and renewable energy sources.
To do this, we use local resources for the villagers and local skills above all. We do not want to put in place solutions that they do not understand, that will produce waste or even things that are not good for their health and their cultures.
In this sense, the foundation wishes to find ways to use local resources as much as possible, to share our ideas in order to find new possibilities, those that will innovate the most, and may also be able to change the lives of those who will work with us here.
In this sense, we invite you all to collaborate with us here, whether you are from Sumba, or from anywhere else in Indonesia ... And all of you from around the world who would like to bring your know-how, to share solutions aimed at improving the conditions of life of people here ... Simply learning to collaborate together for a better future.

Dec 16
Hi friends! Let's talk a bit about First Aid.. The hilly terrain of the island of Sumba makes it beautiful but is also an obstacle in several sectors; first, it makes access to medical care very difficult. Second, the lack of trained medical personnel and adequate medical facilities.
For example, in one village named Bidipraing, the only “Puskesmas” (public health centre) they have is open only twice a month to provide basic care; the 8th day of the month for children, the 16th day for adults. And just like 1/4 of health centers in the world, they don't even have access to water.
We encountered many injured children during our daily work: dry skin, unhealthy growth on newborn babies, or any type of wounds, especially on the feet. Those wounds occurred because they walk barefoot most of the time, whether it is to play, or to go to school. These injuries go untreated, causing infections that lead to more serious medical problems later. Hygiene and lacking access to clean water are also the reason why most of the injuries left untreated.
Children are not the only ones concerned; teenagers and adults are also affected. For example, a young man from a neighbours village was injured in a motorcycle accident. He returned home with a swollen foot and open leg. His family could not do anything because they have no basic knowledge of first aid care, such as cleaning or disinfecting wounds. So, we intervened and treated him to avoid infection.

Rebuild the School, Rebuild the Community, #RebuildMbinudita. At the end of 2019, strong winds knocked down the parallel classroom building of the Mbinudita school, the building flattened to the ground, books and all classrooms were wet. "Where will you go to school later?", said the children of Mbinudita seeing the collapsed school and picking up the rest of the books from the floor.
Kawan Baik Indonesia and Fair Future Foundation accompanied by the support of various partners from Archimetriz Bali, KP2S, Charis Sumba Foundation, working hand in hand to rebuild the school building. Parents of students, local residents, teachers, children also participate in the school construction process. Day, night, heat or rain did not dampen the enthusiasm in completing the school building process.
Now the school is here again, more beautiful, more solid than before. The wind and storms will no longer be able to tear it away, destroy it and the children of MbinuDita are safe.
Together, let's build schools, build villages, build the future like we rebuilt Mbinudita.

Nov 4
In the village of Mbinu Dita, a line forms around the principal well; horses and dogs join in, and all gather around one of the region's only water sources. When the water discharge runs out, the impatient horses drink from the ground in this mixture of water and mud.
In the queue, while waiting for the water to come out again, some can lose patience and disputes frequently happen. For example, if someone cannot stand in line; when access to a primary need is not acquired, emotions inevitably take over.
This well is in the eastern part of Mbinu Dita. In this rural area of Sumba, access to clean, quality water is difficult. Hopefully, we will soon find solutions for a better and healthier quality of life and to avoid fights for this blue gold which should be a human right.

"Hi! , my name is Yaspan, I am 12 years old and I was born in the villa of Mbinu Dita in Sumba East, where the foundation is rebuilding my school and will bring life back to the village.
Since the start of the work, I have tried to help everyone else to build my school. And suddenly, it’s been more than a month that we have a new play area, it is on the site of what will be our new school. Exactly where our old school was located, which was destroyed by a storm at the end of December 2019.
Currently, the Kawan Baik Foundation and Fair Future Foundation are going to great lengths to build our new school and since we are part of the school, we cannot wait until it is over to just go. In fact, every day after waking up and having breakfast, we go straight to the construction site and do everything possible to help and to ensure that our new school is completed as soon as possible.
The adults will ask us to bring some stones, transfer the sand and cement, or to bring the tool they.
And when I’m tired of doing it all, then I stop. Then I ask my friend to do a wheelbarrow race. So, this will annoy our parents because they think we are going to break everything!
I am grateful to our parents, teachers, brothers and sisters for all the time they give, all this energy they put into building my school. And most importantly, thank you all. All those who are attentive to our educational situation and help us to be able to study again in a clean classroom, in a solid school building, which will not collapse, and without the fear of wind and storms."
Thank you very much. Yaspan, September 25, 2020, Mbinu Dita village, Sumba East
