Rumah Kambera

“Rumah Kambera”; “Rumah” berarti tempat tinggal dan Kambera adalah nama kecamatan. Kami memilih kata “rumah” dengan sengaja, karena selain menjadi kantor masa depan kami di Sumba, ini juga akan menjadi tempat pertemuan, kegiatan berbagi, belajar mengajar, rumah singgah untuk relawan, tempat bertukar pikiran, ruang bermain, menemukan ide-ide inovatif, semua dengan visi bersama, yakni untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat yang tinggal di daerah Sumba Timur.

Fighting Malaria with Data, Humanity, and Community Power

Malaria remains a severe public health crisis in regions like Umalulu, East Sumba, where 60% of the population is affected.

Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia are conducting a comprehensive field study, analysing 400 households to better understand how malaria spreads. This research goes beyond statistics, exploring domestic conditions, lifestyles, and environmental factors that drive transmission.

Using Kawan Against Malaria, our digital tool, we collect localised data and engage directly with families. This enables precise mapping and targeted interventions, aligning with today’s best practices in precision public health.

Together with Rotary International and Rotary Against Malaria, and in partnership with local health and education services, we take a multifaceted approach:
🔹 Data analysis
🔹 Community education
🔹 Long-lasting mosquito net distribution
🔹 Volunteer training
🔹 Sustainable prevention infrastructure

This isn’t just about fighting malaria—it’s about building a long-term health ecosystem in one of Indonesia’s most vulnerable regions. By listening, understanding, and acting in collaboration with the community, we are laying the foundation for lasting, effective change.

Fair Future and Kawan Baik are redefining how healthcare reaches ultra-rural communities.

Fifteen solar panels, each measuring 2 x 1 meter, were generously donated to Fair Future by Smart Energy. Tech and our friend Marc, who has long supported our work. These high-quality panels will soon be installed in the ultra-rural village of Laindatang, located in East Sumba, where 80 children attend school daily without electricity.

This is not just a gift; it represents a real revolution for us and this ultra-rural village.

To complete the installation, the foundation invested nearly 3,000 Swiss francs to acquire essential additional equipment: a powerful 14 kW battery, a hybrid inverter, a backup generator, along with all the necessary cabling, mounting structures, and connectors. The installation is designed to last at least 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance, even in one of the most challenging and remote regions we serve.

Once installed, the system will power the classrooms, provide lighting, and support basic equipment such as a printer, a computer, and cell phone charging for the teachers. This school will finally have access to electricity, a dream that remains unrealized for thousands of children in East Sumba.

Our team in Denpasar carefully prepared the panels: they were washed, packaged, secured, and then loaded onto the Truck & Load. This marked the beginning of a long three-day journey, by sea and land, to Rumah Kambera, our base in Waingapu.

Marc, thank you for your trust, equipment, and energy. This donation will brighten lives for years to come.

From Denpasar to East Sumba.

We loaded the truck and embarked on an intense 3- to 4-day journey, cruising through multiple islands via ports, ferries, and winding roads. Our first destination was Padangbai. Arriving late in the evening, we soaked up the unique atmosphere of the port while eagerly awaiting the ferry's arrival. The imposing ship took us to Lombok. Initially, there were few of us, but it quickly became crowded with vehicles as soon as we departed. Due to a malfunction in the forward access ramp, we were the last to disembark.

At 3:00 a.m. in Lembar, we learned that the Darma Kartika ferry, which was supposed to take us to Sumba, was 12 hours late. To kill some time, we set off to admire the magnificent sunrise and stopped for breakfast before taking a three-hour nap in Mataram. Later that afternoon, we resumed our journey to the port of Gilimas.

The roads of Lombok are captivatingly beautiful but can also be quite challenging for our truck loaded with several tons. After spending hours under a blazing sun, we finally found some respite in a local warung. As night fell, Darma Kartika finally revealed itself to us.

Departing Lombok at 8 p.m., the ferry sped through calm waters, reaching speeds exceeding 15 knots. After 24 hours of travel, we arrived in Waingapu, where the wet roads presented their share of challenges. Upon arriving at Rumah Kambera, our base camp, we were exhausted, but the importance of our mission made up for everything. Elton, Bobi, and Primus helped us unload the equipment as we launched a massive medical and humanitarian initiative.

Fair Future and Kawan Baik lead initiatives that combine medical expertise and community support, transforming challenges into meaningful achievements. This marks the beginning of our mission: improving lives through collaboration.

This drone footage showcases the breathtakingly isolated site where @fairfuturefoundation  will begin building a 110 m³ semi-buried water reservoir. This project will provide 110,000 litres of clean water for two extremely rural communities, Laindatang and Hambarita, in East Sumba.

Perched on a nearly inaccessible hilltop, this site already hosts an extensive Water Connections network that we've constructed. It includes clean water systems for the school, sanitation facilities, and multiple reservoirs.

However, the dry season in this area is harsh, and the current infrastructure falls short. The introduction of this new reservoir will transform everything:

Access to clean water, even during severe drought conditions

Families with better health

Improved hygiene practices for the school and community

A more robust and independent local network

For us, this is far more than a construction project; it stands as a symbol of resilience and hope, reflecting our dedication to venturing into uncharted territories to guarantee water access for everyone.

Erwin is an integral part of the primary healthcare program in East Sumba.

Erwin is not only the field coordinator of the PMC program but also one of the driving forces behind the success of Kawan Sehat health workers and the Primary Medical Care program in the ultra-rural region of East Sumba.

Three days ago, in collaboration with our friends and partners, Erwin coordinated a full day of medical services: malaria and tuberculosis screening, vaccinations, and general care for communities without access to medical infrastructure. These missions occur in one of Indonesia's most remote regions, where health services are virtually nonexistent: East Sumba.

Erwin brings professionalism, solid medical knowledge, and leadership that reflects local customs. He collaborates with doctors, nurses, and health workers, never losing sight of his role. His knowledge of treatments, medications, and field logistics allows Kawan Sehat workers to progress and grow.

After three years, these women are now incredibly effective in delivering primary healthcare. Much of this success is due to Erwin's commitment and ability to lead with compassion and expertise.

The Fair Future Primary Medical Care program would not be what it is today without him.
