Yogyakarta, February 25, 2025 – After successfully providing clean water access in Bogor and Gresik Regencies, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia continues its commitment to ensuring clean water for communities in need across the country. From mid-2025 through 2026, this program will reach the villages of Pengkol and Pilangrejo in Nglipar Subdistrict, Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogyakarta.

A total of 250 residents in these villages will soon have access to clean water directly from the taps in their homes. Until now, the local community has faced significant challenges in accessing clean water, especially during the dry season. The region’s geography—characterized by highlands with karst formations—makes it difficult to extract groundwater and limits accessibility. To address this, deep well drilling will be carried out using methods tailored to the geological conditions of Gunung Kidul. Water from the wells will then be distributed directly to households through a piped system.

More than just providing clean water, this program also includes the development of supporting infrastructure. Ten household toilets will be built, 25 houses will be renovated, and 8 public facilities will be repaired to improve residents’ quality of life. To ensure the program’s long-term impact, Habitat Indonesia will also offer a series of community trainings. These include hygiene and sanitation (PHBS) training, Healthy Homes and Basic Construction training for 250 residents.

In addition, 30 individuals will be trained as Water Management Committee members, who will be responsible for operating and maintaining the clean water facilities in their communities. Habitat Indonesia will also conduct a Clean and Healthy Lifestyle campaign involving up to 1,225 people to broaden the program’s positive impact at the community level.

The Journey of Habitat Indonesia’s Clean Water Program

In its first phase (2023–2024), the program was implemented in Babakan Madang Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, using mountain spring sources to provide clean water access to over 500 homes. Additionally, 30 household toilets were constructed, 30 houses renovated, and 12 public facilities—including maternal and child health centers (posyandu)—were improved in two villages: Karang Tengah and Kadumanggu.

In the second phase (2024–2025), the program was extended to Wringinanom Subdistrict in Gresik Regency. Here, Habitat Indonesia built 75 bore wells, delivering clean water to more than 1,500 homes. The initiative also included the construction of 20 household toilets, renovation of 20 homes, and refurbishment of 12 public facilities to support healthier and more dignified living conditions.

Across both regions, more than 2,000 residents have received training in hygiene and sanitation, Healthy Homes, and Basic Construction. These educational components are crucial to ensure that the physical infrastructure goes hand in hand with healthier, cleaner living habits.

Clean Water That Transforms Lives

For residents like Sudarjat from Karang Tengah Village, the program has made a tangible difference in everyday life. “Alhamdulillah, now over 500 people have access to clean water. It flows directly to our taps at home, and we can use it for bathing, drinking, and other daily needs,” he shared.

“Having access to clean water changes everything. Our lives are so much more dignified and hygienic now. Before this, we had to rely on a small, polluted stream—especially during the dry season,” Sudarjat added.

Similar gratitude was expressed by Kasemi, a resident of Sooko Village, Wringinanom.
“I waited 12 years to have clean water in my own home. All this time, I had to borrow from my landlord—it was uncomfortable and embarrassing. Alhamdulillah, now I can bathe, wash, and cook in my own home,” she said gratefully.

Together, Let’s Achieve Equal Access to Clean Water

Access to clean water and proper sanitation is a fundamental human right, as stated in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Number 6. Habitat for Humanity Indonesia remains committed to making this right a reality for communities still struggling to obtain it.

Through this program, Habitat Indonesia is not only building physical infrastructure, but also fostering hope and creating a healthier future for thousands of families. We invite all #SahabatHabitat to continue supporting and praying for the success of the clean water initiative in Gunung Kidul.

In a quiet corner of a village in Gresik Regency, a mother named Suparlik (52) lives with her only daughter. Since her husband passed away three years ago, life has moved at a slower pace. Every day, she struggles to make ends meet—working as a farm laborer, selling getuk (a traditional Indonesian cassava cake) door-to-door, and running a small food stall in front of her aging parents’ house.

For Suparlik, every rupiah she earns isn’t just money—it’s an expression of love for her daughter, who is still in high school, and a simple hope to keep life going.

But behind her determination, there’s a reality not many people see. Her fragile house was full of discomfort. A termite-eaten kitchen, a toilet without a door, and bamboo walls that were close to collapse made every night filled with fear.

“At night, I’m the most scared,” she said quietly. “I’m so afraid someone might peek in. I hold off going to the kitchen or bathroom until the morning. I’ve cried over it.”

Her living conditions weren’t just physically draining—they also slowly chipped away at her spirit. She often delayed her morning activities, waiting for daylight before she dared to move. Many times, she opened her food stall late in the day.

Amid all this, her biggest concern remained her daughter’s future. “She wants to continue school, to go to college,” Suparlik said softly, her eyes welling with tears. “But I don’t know how I’ll ever afford it.”

That hope finally came in mid-2024, when Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, along with donors and volunteers, arrived in Sooko Village, Wringinanom District. They rebuilt uninhabitable homes—including Suparlik’s. The kitchen and bathroom that once brought fear were transformed into safe, clean spaces.

“I’m so happy and grateful. I never thought I could have a kitchen this good. Alhamdulillah, I’m not dreaming,” Suparlik said emotionally. “I’m deeply thankful to Habitat and the donors. I have nothing to repay this.”

Since then, Suparlik’s days have changed. She wakes up early without fear, starts selling getuk at 3 a.m., and opens her stall earlier than before. Her income has started to increase.

“Alhamdulillah, by 8 a.m., my goods are sold out, and I can open my stall earlier. Little by little, this has improved my income,” she said.

With this change, Suparlik is reigniting the dream she once put aside—saving for her daughter’s college education. A dream that once seemed distant now feels within reach.

Suparlik’s story reflects the truth that a decent home is more than just a place to live—it’s a foundation of hope, a starting point for change, and a space to grow stronger. Habitat for Humanity Indonesia believes every family deserves a safe, healthy, and dignified home.

Through shelter, peace grows. From peace comes courage. And with courage, the future can be rebuilt. Help us pave the way for more families like Suparlik’s. Build a decent home, and build hope through www.habitatindonesia.org/donate.

In addition to the key handover, the event also featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a volunteer initiative involving 17 SWA volunteers, including teachers, parents, and students. They participated in painting the walls of five housing units as a finishing touch to the construction. 

Janice, one of the SWA volunteers, shared her experience. “This is my third time joining a home-building project with Habitat. This time, I helped paint houses, and I felt truly happy because painting brings me peace. I hope what I did today helps the families here, and I will definitely recommend this activity to my school friends,” she said. 

Previously, SWA had conducted a similar volunteer initiative involving more than 30 volunteers who helped lay the foundations and install walls for decent housing units. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to provide safe housing for those in need. 

Habitat for Humanity Indonesia continues to invite young communities, schools, and other educational institutions to participate in creating a brighter future by building decent homes. Every small action taken together can lead to significant change, turning hope into reality and paving the way for a better life for communities across Indonesia.

Also present were Habitat for Humanity Indonesia’s National Director, Handoko Ngadiman, as well as representatives from other humanitarian organizations, including Tomy Hendrajati (President of Human Initiative), Romi Ardiansyah (Vice President of Operations at Human Initiative), and Sumanda Tondang (Executive Director of Rumah Energi). 

In addition to the construction of the auxiliary public health center, this year’s collaboration between AWS and Habitat Indonesia also includes building new classrooms for SDN Margamulya II in the same village. This initiative aims to improve access to better healthcare and education facilities for the local community. 

“We believe that everyone has the right to proper healthcare and education services. Through this collaboration between AWS and Habitat, we hope to bring real change to the people of Margamulya Village. This is part of AWS’s commitment to continuously contribute to building stronger and more empowered communities,” said Sergio Loureiro, Vice President of Global Data Centers Operations at AWS.

“We are deeply grateful for AWS’s trust and support. Every challenge presents an opportunity for us to create better solutions for communities. Through this partnership, we have positively impacted thousands of people, including those in Karawang Regency. We hope this collaboration will continue and bring even greater benefits to society,” expressed Handoko Ngadiman, National Director of Habitat for Humanity Indonesia. 

With various ongoing and upcoming initiatives, the collaboration between Habitat for Humanity Indonesia and AWS is expected to continue making a positive impact on communities, particularly in improving access to healthcare, education, and essential infrastructure.

Every morning, Kasemi (56) would let out a long sigh before lifting a bucket filled with water. Her aging hands still tried to be strong, slowly walking towards her neighbor’s house. For more than 12 years, she had been living this routine, fetching water from her landlord’s house because her own home did not have access to clean water.

“Every day is like this… it feels tiring, and also embarrassing, having to depend on other people,” she said softly. She often imagined how much easier her life would be if she had her own water source—being able to wash, cook, and even just take a shower without feeling indebted.

Kasemi and her husband, Sumari (65), have lived in Sooko Village, Wringanom Subdistrict, Gresik Regency, for over a decade. Their lives have been full of struggle. Sumari works as a construction laborer and farmhand with an uncertain income. Meanwhile, Kasemi takes care of the household amidst the existing limitations, including their biggest difficulty, which is clean water.

Every month, they must pay 40,000 Rupiah to use water from their neighbor’s house. However, that water source is not always reliable. Sometimes, the water pump breaks down and they have to look for water elsewhere. When the dry season arrives, water becomes even scarcer. “There’s no water, we have to use it sparingly,” Sumari lamented to Kasemi.

A life that was already difficult felt even heavier with this burden. Not only was it troublesome, but it was also worrying when there were urgent needs such as using the toilet or cooking.

Hope arrived when Habitat for Humanity Indonesia built clean water access for more than 1,500 homes in Wringanom Subdistrict, including Kasemi’s house. Now, clean water flows directly into her home. There are no more back-and-forth trips with a bucket in hand, no more shame in having to ask others for water. “Now I can cook, shower, and wash without any hassle. I don’t have to be afraid of running out of water or having to be so frugal anymore,” said Kasemi with a relieved face.

This change is more than just getting water. It is a life change. Now, Kasemi can even water the plants in her yard without having to worry about being charged extra for water. “In the past, I had to count every drop of water I used. Now, the water is clean and plentiful, I’m not afraid of the bill swelling because it’s all free,” added Kasemi.

Access to clean water is not just a need, but a right that every individual should have. Now, Kasemi and her family can live more comfortably, without having to bear the heavy burden just to get something that should be easily obtained. A more decent life is finally what they feel, something they could only dream of before.

There are still many families like Kasemi who are struggling to gain access to clean water. You can help make this change happen by donating through Habitat for Humanity Indonesia. Visit www.habitatindonesia.org/donate and be part of the solution for a better life for those in need.

That afternoon, Amalia (25) swept the front yard of her house, now standing strong with its blue paint, while carrying a sense of peace within her. Every now and then, she stopped to admire her new home, unable to hold back a smile. Her heart still struggled to believe it—the place that once existed only in her prayers was now truly hers.

She had been waiting for this moment for years. For more than five years, she and her small family lived in a cramped house, sharing space with her parents and older sibling. There was no privacy, no room for her child to play, and not even a comfortable place to rest.

But the most painful part was not just the lack of space—it was the fragile condition of the house itself. The bamboo walls had started to rot, the roof leaked in multiple places, and every time heavy rain came, she had to brace herself for flooding inside her home.

“My husband patched the roof with plastic. It helped a little—at least some parts didn’t leak. But when it rained heavily or the wind was strong, we were always on edge, afraid the house would collapse,” Amalia recalled.

As a mother, her heart was always filled with worry. Not just about the house, but also about the future of her young child. “Honestly, I felt so sad. I kept thinking, what about my child? What about his future? I wanted him to grow up in a better place, but it felt impossible for us,” Amalia added.

Then, a ray of hope finally appeared. Habitat for Humanity Indonesia built a new home right next to their old one. Now, Amalia and her family finally have a house they can truly call their own. “Alhamdulillah, I have no words. This house is more than just livable. It’s so much more comfortable—no more leaks, and my child sleeps so soundly now,” Amalia said with deep gratitude.

Now, she feels the heavy burden on her shoulders slowly lifting. No more anxiety when the rain falls, no more fear of a collapsing roof. “Now, I can take care of my child with peace of mind. I can teach him many things without worrying about our home. I feel more confident now,” she added.

A week after their new home was built, Darul constructed a small kitchen for Amalia. He wanted his wife to be able to cook comfortably and prepare meals filled with love for their little family.

Darul, who works as a construction laborer, has become even more determined to find additional work, splitting his time as a farmhand to save money for their child’s education in the future. “For me, a house is not just a place to live. It’s a place where I find my identity as a mother, a place where I can build a better life for my family,” Amalia said, her smile full of hope.

Let’s work together to provide decent housing for millions of families in Indonesia who are still struggling for a safe and comfortable place to call home. Every small step from #SahabatHabitat is a big hope for them, giving them the opportunity to live a better and more dignified life.

A new chapter for an empowered Tanjung Kait community, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, together with various stakeholders, supports land ownership and safe housing for 110 families.

Tanjung Anom, Tangerang Regency (March 5) – A new chapter of hope and transformation begins today in Tanjung Kait Village, a coastal area in Tanjung Anom, as Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, in collaboration with the Tangerang Regency Government, holds the groundbreaking ceremony for the village revitalization project. Attended by the Regent of Tangerang, this event marks a significant milestone in efforts to improve the living conditions of 110 low-income fishing families.

Tanjung Kait Village, nestled along a picturesque coastline, has long been home to generations of fishermen and their families. However, the community has faced numerous challenges, including substandard housing, poor sanitation, limited access to clean water, socioeconomic disparities, and the constant threat of natural disasters. Most residents, who rely on fishing and informal sector jobs, struggle with financial constraints and uncertainty regarding land ownership.

Recognizing the urgent need for intervention, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia initiated PASSA discussions (Participatory Approach for Safe Shelter Awareness) in August 2023. This collaborative process, involving the community, local government, and other stakeholders, focused on capacity building, promoting self-reliance, enhancing protection, and addressing socio-economic issues. After extensive planning, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia developed a concrete plan that includes:

• Participatory Site Planning: A collaborative effort involving all stakeholders to support coastal area development and local tourism programs.
• Access to Land Ownership: Facilitating easier financial schemes for low-income fishing families to secure land ownership, in partnership with Koperasi Mitra Dhuafa (KOMIDA), which provided loan access to 110 families in August 2024. The Land Ownership Deed Handover Ceremony was held in December 2024.
• Construction of 110 Safe and Decent Homes: Designing and building disaster-resistant homes to provide a safe and secure living environment.

“Today’s event signifies more than just a groundbreaking; it represents the foundation for a brighter future for the people of Tanjung Kait,” said Arwin Soelaksono, Program Director of Habitat for Humanity Indonesia. “We are committed to working alongside the community and the Tangerang Regency Government to create sustainable and impactful change.”

To ensure transparency and active participation, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia facilitated extensive discussions with residents regarding the revitalization project. These discussions covered demolition procedures, construction phases, and housing allocations. This collaborative approach ensures that every resident clearly understands the process and feels a sense of ownership in their new community.

“The revitalization of Tanjung Kait Village is a testament to our commitment to improving the quality of life for all residents of Tangerang Regency,” said Tangerang Regent, Moch Maesyal Rasyid. “We appreciate the partnership with Habitat for Humanity Indonesia and look forward to the positive impact this project will bring to the community.”

The year 2025 marks a fresh start filled with hope for hundreds of families in Tanjung Kait. More than just homes, they now have a safe and decent place to call home—a place that offers warmth, security, and a better future for their children. This project is not just about building physical structures; it’s about restoring dignity, rekindling dreams, and turning hope into reality.

Thursday, February 27, 2025, dawned with a different kind of light in Tanjung Kait Village. The atmosphere in Tanjung Anom Village, Mauk, Tangerang Regency, was vibrant. It wasn’t the usual hustle and bustle of the fish market or the sounds of fishing boats, but a new spirit permeating every corner of the village. 

Since early morning, dozens of residents gathered, not just to chat or go about their usual routines, but to work together in a spirit of community. They dismantled roofs, tore down walls, and cleared debris from the homes they had lived in for years. There were no gloomy faces or sadness, only enthusiasm and solidarity. The old houses were indeed being demolished, but in their place, new dwellings would rise—more decent, more comfortable, and more dignified. 

“Oh, I don’t feel sad at all. I’m actually very happy to be involved in this community effort. I can’t wait for my new house to be finished quickly, I want a better life,” said Komariyah, busy preparing fried snacks for the working residents. 

“It feels like a dream, sir! But it’s really happening. Habitat is building decent houses for us,” said Amah, her face full of gratitude, while moving furniture. “Finally, I’ll have a comfortable and safe place for my children to grow up,” she added. 

For decades, more than a hundred residents of Tanjung Kait Village lived in uncertainty. They not only struggled with substandard housing conditions but also faced land ownership issues. Their status was always in limbo, leaving them living in a constant state of anxiety.

However, through the Tanjung Kait Village Revitalization program, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, along with various parties, stepped in to bring about real change. It’s not just about building houses; this program also provides certainty for the residents. Since late 2024, hundreds of residents have received legal land certificates, thanks to collaboration with Koperasi Mitra Dhuafa (Komida). Now, they not only have homes but also clear rights to the land they live on. 

It doesn’t stop there; hundreds of residents also received rental assistance for temporary housing during the construction process. The Tangerang Regency Government played a role by providing heavy equipment to expedite demolition and build public facilities that support residents’ lives. Supporting infrastructure for fishermen and breakwaters to prevent abrasion are also part of this major revitalization plan. 

As part of transparency and resident involvement, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia also facilitated discussions with all residents about the revitalization project. These discussions covered demolition procedures, construction stages, and resident placement in the form of maps designed according to the joint decisions of various parties. Thus, every resident has a clear understanding of the process they will undergo and can directly participate in the construction of their future homes. 

The year 2025 marks a hopeful beginning for hundreds of families in Tanjung Kait. More than just houses, they now have a decent place to return to, a place that provides warmth, security, and a better future for their children. It’s not just about physical buildings, but also about restored dignity, revived dreams, and hope that is now a reality before their eyes. 

Let us support the continued success of this program, ensuring it runs smoothly and delivers tangible benefits to the hundreds of families residing in Tanjung Kait Village.

Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, in collaboration with PT Centratama Group, continues to demonstrate its commitment to advancing education in the country. This time, the partnership has resulted in an innovative project: the development of a digital library at SMP Pancar Bakti in Karang Tengah Village, Babakan Madang, Bogor. This initiative serves as concrete proof that inclusive and modern education can be achieved through the right synergy.

This project goes beyond simply providing a new library; it also involves a comprehensive renovation, including the construction of retaining walls, structural reinforcement, and mural painting to create a more inspiring learning environment. Additionally, the installation of electrical systems and the provision of supporting facilities—such as carpeted floors, study tables and chairs, sofas, lockers, LED TVs, sound systems, air conditioning, and other essential furniture—enhance the comfort of students and teachers, allowing them to enjoy a better literacy experience.

Beyond physical transformation, PT Centratama Group ensures that technology plays an integral role in this initiative. The company has facilitated the installation of software and technical training for the use of the Edoo Application, a digital library platform that grants students and teachers access to over 1,000 e-books across various categories, including general literature, academic subjects, and reference materials.

“The establishment of this digital library reflects our commitment to supporting digital transformation in schools. We hope this facility will foster a love for reading, improve student literacy, and integrate digital technology into the learning process,” said Yan Raymond, President Director of PT Centratama Group, during the inauguration ceremony at SMP Pancar Bakti, Bogor, on February 12.

Now, more than 200 students and teachers have unlimited access to a vast array of reading materials directly from their smartphones, anytime and anywhere. The presence of this digital library is expected not only to enhance the quality of the learning process but also to support students in achieving higher academic performance. Moreover, this facility serves as an added value for the school, helping improve its accreditation by incorporating technology into daily teaching and learning activities.

Habitat for Humanity Indonesia has expressed deep appreciation to PT Centratama Group for its dedication and remarkable support. This initiative is not only benefiting the school in Bogor but is also being expanded to two additional schools: SMPN 3 Yogyakarta and SMPN 53 Batam, as part of the project’s second phase. Previously, in the first phase, similar programs were successfully implemented at SMPN 4 Sentolo Yogyakarta and MTs Maulana Malik Ibrahim in Gresik.

This support marks a concrete step toward achieving quality, equitable, and inclusive education while increasing learning opportunities for all children in Indonesia. May this initiative serve as an inspiration for more stakeholders to participate in the digital transformation of education across the country.
