After four unforgettable days in Haray, East Sumba, our mission is complete. The SDN Mbajik school now glows with power from sixteen solar panels, their first-ever source of electricity. In partnership with .tech, Tony, and the incredible local community, we didn't just install solar panels; we ignited hope and connected modern energy with rural life.

Today was charged with emotion. We trained teachers and villagers on operating and maintaining the system. Now, light, energy, and safety are in their capable hands. The highlight was the village's first movie night. For the first time, children experienced the wonder of moving images, heard the joy of music, and laughed together under electric lights. It was simple yet profoundly moving.

We'll be back to review the impact: how it transforms education as lessons continue beyond daylight hours, and how it enriches their lives, making the fear of darkness a thing of the past. Until then, we leave with full hearts and the joy of knowing that something extraordinary has begun.

Join us in making the light eternal in Haray. Support and foundations as we continue to empower communities with sustainable solutions.

Letโ€™s keep the light shining!

Day two in Haray, East Sumba, an incredible journey as we harness the power of the sun. Despite the blazing heat, the spirit of the community is unstoppable. Together with innovative technology from .tech, and in collaboration with the local community, and foundations are bringing solar power to SDN Mbajik, a small school where seventy eager children and nine dedicated teachers strive for education without the basic necessity of electricity.

From dawn till dusk, there's a collective spirit as villagers and volunteers work seamlessly. They lend a hand in carrying tools, climbing roofs, stabilizing panels, and acquiring valuable skills in electrical wiring, mounting, and construction. Despite being barefoot on the searing steel, their determination shines through. Itโ€™s a blend of sweat, joy, and achievement.

The school now proudly hosts sixteen solar panels linked to a 5,000 W inverter and robust lithium batteries, an installation weighing over 200 kilos. This equipment was painstakingly brought across hazardous routes and steep terrains, reflecting the commitment and unity of this community.

Amid the hustle, life thrives. Children sing and dance, teachers prepare nutritious meals, and everyone contributes, not just to building a solar system, but to securing a brighter future. As nighttime approaches, these children gather under their SolarBuddy lamps, small beacons safeguarding their education until the solar system fully powers their nights.

Join us in changing lives, one solar panel at a time. Together, we light up futures.

In the heart of East Sumba, the remote village of Haray houses a beacon of education: SDN Mbajik. This small school is home to 70 eager students and nine dedicated teachers and their families who, until now, had known only darkness after sunset. With no access to electricity, their nights were void of light, hindering learning and connectivity.

That changed when and made a daring journey across treacherous, rocky paths to bring light to this community. Our mission involved the Truck nโ€™ Load, the Truck of Life, and a Hilux, all carrying heavy solar equipmentโ€”300 kilograms of batteries, a robust 5,000 W Hybrid inverter, and all the components necessary toe initiate a solar revolution. This technology holds the promise of clean and sustainable energy, setting a transformative stage for the school.

As of tonight, classrooms are illuminated once more, temporarily powered by our generator while we complete the installation of 16 solar panels across 50 square meters. This setup includes an impressive 14 kWh of lithium storage. The transition to a solar-powered system ensures that SDN Mbajik will soon enjoy permanent, efficient energy, fostering an optimal environment for education and growth.

Gratitude overflows to our remarkable partner, Smart Energy Tech Bali (.tech) and a heartfelt thanks to Marc for providing essential equipment and expertise. Special acknowledgment to Tony, whose unwavering support on the ground makes this illumination possible. Let's spark change and bring sustainable light to every corner that needs it. Inspire hope and engagement by joining us in this journey. Shine a light with us!

In Laindatang and Hambarita, two remote villages in East Sumba, accessing healthcare is a complex challenge. With no doctors, electricity, or roads, the situation seems dire, yet dedicated health agents like Rambu Anggi are transforming healthcare delivery by reaching people on foot across arduous terrains.

Anggi, one of 21 Kawan Sehat health agents trained by the Fair Future Foundation, plays a dual role as a teacher and healthcare provider. Her commitment ensures that dozens of patients are treated weekly, addressing issues from skin infections in children to malnutrition and respiratory diseases in the elderly. Erwin, our program coordinator, regularly traverses challenging paths to resupply her medical kit and update essential tools.

The collaboration between Anggi and Erwin involves reviewing medication, discussing new healthcare protocols, and introducing innovative educational resources. These resources include beautifully designed fabric posters and a comprehensive 150-page manual for community-based medical care, empowering agents to effectively communicate vital knowledge about prevention, nutrition, and hygiene to families, despite the lack of internet or electricity.

Innovatively, all treatments are meticulously logged using the Kawan Sehat mobile app, developed by our foundation. This app allows offline medical data collection, seamlessly syncing once connected, thus ensuring accurate and up-to-date patient information.

For over four years, the Primary Medical Care program has been a lifeline, merging medical science with community care to save lives where no one else can. Support this transformative work and make a difference by following and supporting and foundations.

In Praiwangga, East Sumba, Fair Future Foundation and led a full day of medical work with dedication. Three doctors, several nurses, and hundreds of patients came together under the blazing sun to tackle some of the most pressing health challenges. Over 150 individuals received care for common illnesses like those stemming from unsafe water, dehydration, diarrhea, malnutrition, and chronic fatigue. These conditions create a harsh reality where clean water and sanitation facilities are still considered luxuries by many.

Our medical team conducted numerous blood tests, assessing glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels. We also performed rapid malaria diagnostics and studied microscopic slides. Each test narrates the challenge of living far from medical access. Beyond treatments, we encouraged lifestyle changes โ€” advising on better nutrition, quitting smoking, and boosting water intake, crucial steps to ward off infections like malaria, dengue, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and HIV. Every consultation became an educational dialogue, and every prescription included an informative explanation to empower our patients.

Children watched, learning from the bustling scene of medical care, their laughter and curiosity reminding us of our missionโ€™s importance. At day's end, we loaded the Truck of Life and moved to the next village โ€” because in East Sumba, timely healthcare is essential and cannot be postponed. Join us in supporting this mission and ensuring each community receives the care it deserves.

In Praiwanga, a small, rural village in East Sumba, hundreds of people gathered for a rare event, a full day of free medical care hosted by , in collaboration with . In a region where healthcare access often means walking hours under the scorching sun, this was a day when medicine, knowledge, and human connection came directly to their doorsteps.

Our field coordinator, Erwin, led an insightful two-hour educational session in a simple tent, focusing on public health threats such as to***co, alcohol, and pollution. Our visually engaging posters illustrated how poor nutrition and waste can harm our bodies and communities. One startling fact Erwin shared was that in Indonesia, each person unknowingly ingests about fifteen grams of microplastics every month โ€” the weight of three credit cards โ€” through food, water, and air. This eye-opening education empowered villagers to ask questions and realise how small, conscious choices can significantly improve their health and future.

Towards the end of the day, clean clothes were distributed to every family, symbolising care and renewed hope. One family, filled with joy and gratitude, rode home on an old scooter, arms brimming with clothes and hearts glowing with something brighter.

Join us in transforming healthcare access and education. Health goes beyond medicine โ€” it is about knowledge, dignity, and compassion. Spread the word, get involved, and support our mission to create healthier futures.
