Da er aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen stammt, konnte er zuhause noch keine Wasserleitung installieren. Dies wird sich jedoch ändern, wenn ein Programm eingeführt wird, das die armen Familien in Kulon Progo dabei unterstützt, Zugang zu sauberem Wasser zu bekommen. | Foto: Rusmiyatun

The village of Donomulyo, in the sub-district of Nanggulan, is located in a hilly area in Kulon Progo Regency. The environment greatly influences the daily lives of the people who live here. Many of them are susceptible to sickness, as access to clean water is limited for general use as well as consumption. After the PAMSIMAS II project was launched in 2014 in Kulon Progo, the inhabitants of Donomulyo formed the BP-SPAMS “Sindu Wening” work group supported by the village administration. The PAMSIMAS project in Donomulyo received 270 million rupiah in financial support from the central and local government. The project resulted in solving the problem of access to clean water. The people of Donomulyo now not only enjoy a better quality of life, but their behaviour patterns have also changed. For example:
 
  • Housewives no longer have to get water from remote rivers and springs, some of which are 26 meters deep (and dried up during the dry season) – now they have clean water in their houses.
  • The residents no longer have to answer the call of nature in the garden or a river, as now they have adequate toilets and washing facilities for the whole family.
  • Children are healthier and happier, can play carefree, and can always wash their hands with clean water.
  • The work group BP-SPAMS “Sindu Wening” can continue its work and continue to develop thanks to efficient and effective management.
