At Puskesmas Kawangu in East Sumba, three Kawan Sehat health agents walked long distances to meet our field coordinator. This is how Primary Medical Care is secured on the ground.

Every two months, medicines are counted, expiration dates verified, and digital case reports cross-checked using our offline medical application. In villages without doctors or pharmacies, these agents are the only medical access.

Sixteen years of Swiss field experience guide this structured supervision model, implemented by Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia in direct coordination with local health authorities.

Prevention here means verifying stock before infection spreads. It means correcting small discrepancies before they become clinical risks.

Distance should never determine survival.

It documents a decisive year in East Sumba. Thousands of medical consultations delivered through structured Primary Medical Care. 350,000 litres of clean water storage secured for communities facing extreme dry seasons. Between 3,000 and 4,000 children are now studying safely with solar lighting.

Two distinct malaria initiatives were implemented. A full baseline scientific study in a highly endemic region to understand transmission, environmental exposure and diagnostic gaps. Then the East Sumba Malaria Project, with large educational billboards, microscopy training, full-village workshops, and indoor residual spraying.

Four new prevention campaigns were launched. Nearly 400,000 people reached through structured healthy life education programs.

For 16 years, Swiss precision combined with local leadership through Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia has focused on measurable impact in ultra-rural Indonesia.

It is the final stage of infections that were never treated in time. Small wounds, unsafe water, respiratory infections and childbirth complications quietly progress until the body collapses.

At Fair Future Foundation, together with Kawan Baik Indonesia, we see these cases regularly. Not because sepsis is inevitable, but because access to care is missing. Distance, broken roads, transport costs and lack of insurance delay treatment until it is too late.

This is why we created the Primary Medical Care program nearly four years ago. Our Kawan Sehat health agents treat infections early, clean wounds, recognise danger signs and refer patients before collapse. Early treatment prevents septic outcomes.

Sepsis is preventable. But only if care comes early.

In this ultra-rural area of East Sumba, access to healthcare is limited and delayed diagnosis remains a major risk. That is why education becomes a medical act.

Fair Future Foundation teams work alongside Kawan Baik Indonesia to deliver community education sessions focused on understanding transmission, recognising symptoms early, and applying prevention tools at home. Posters are detailed, rapid tests are conducted on-site under strict hygiene protocols, and children actively participate in learning how malaria spreads.

Testing allows immediate referral and treatment when needed. Data is recorded directly in the field to guide follow-up and adapt prevention strategies. These sessions are repeated throughout the year to ensure continuity and trust.

This work reflects Swiss medical rigour applied in the field, built over sixteen years of continuous presence. Prevention here is not theoretical. It is practical, measurable, and rooted in daily life.

Two Kawan Sehat health agents are stepping back from the Primary Medical Care Program, after more than three years of service to their villages. Hundreds of patients treated every year. Wounds cleaned. Fevers followed. Mothers reassured. Children carried.

Today, we sat on the floor together. We reviewed the work. We listened. We collected the medical bags, the posters, and the tools. And we said thank you, properly. With a certificate. With images of their work. With time.

This is what dignity looks like in public health.

Malaria does not disappear on its own in ultra-rural regions. In East Indonesia, prevention must happen where transmission occurs, inside homes.

Indoor Residual Spraying is one of the most effective malaria control tools when applied correctly. Fair Future teams work with Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia, as well as Kawan Sehat agents, under strict medical protocols. Protective equipment, precise insecticide dosage, and controlled spraying movements are essential.

Traditional wooden and bamboo houses trap mosquitoes after they feed. Treating these surfaces reduces transmission for several months, protecting families where they live and sleep.

Each house is documented. Each intervention is traceable. This is not symbolic work. It is public health in practice, built on Swiss medical rigour and 16 years of continuous field presence.

One of the 24 schools we reached in East Sumba. No electricity in the classroom, at home, or in the village.

SolarBuddy (SolarBuddy.org) lamps provide children with safe light for studying after sunset and help families avoid the toxic smoke from fuel lamps. In the same visit, our Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia teams deliver a simple message: protect your lungs, do not smoke, especially when to***co starts too young.

Indoor Residual Spraying is a proven malaria prevention method endorsed by global health experts. In East Sumba, Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia train specialised teams, enforce strict safety standards, and collaborate with local authorities. All educational materials and protocols are developed and implemented in the field, ensuring effective, precise prevention.

For the past four years, Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia's Kawan Sehat health agents have delivered both treatment and education, using fabric posters to share vital information on hygiene, water safety, and disease prevention.

This year, the program expands to include HIV testing and awareness, addressing urgent needs in local communities.

In 2025, Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia completed the distribution of 2,224 SolarBuddy Junior lamps and 24 SolarBuddy Student lamps in 24 schools across East Sumba.

Most of these schools are extremely difficult to reach. Roads are rough, distances long, and access often uncertain. But light alone was never the goal.

Each visit included education on health, hygiene, clean water, and disease prevention. Posters from our prevention campaigns were left in schools. In several locations, full medical check-ups were conducted for all children.

This program is now completed for 2025. It will continue in 2026, aiming to reach even more children. More than 100 schools in East Sumba still have no access to electricity.

But there is action. Kawan Sehat health agents step in with practical solutions—treating wounds, managing infections, controlling fever, and checking blood pressure right where people live. No waiting, no empty promises—just essential care delivered with skill and urgency.

This is how lives are protected, every day.

Since 2019, the Water Connections program led by the Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia has been building durable water reservoirs ranging from 2,500 to 150,000 litres in villages with little or no access to clean water.

These images show 5,300-litre tanks, filled with filtered rainwater and installed close to homes.
This simple proximity changes everything: fewer infectious diseases, better hygiene, safer children, and girls who no longer lose hours walking for water.

Clean water is not a luxury. It is one of the most effective forms of medical prevention.
