Description

In Tuksono Village, located in Kulon Progo district, 44% of residents live below the poverty line. Poverty, combined with deteriorating housing conditions, inadequate sanitation and limited access to clean water, has contributed to poor health outcomes throughout the community. Women and children are especially affected, including by stunting, a condition caused by chronic or recurring malnutrition.

Habitat for Humanity Indonesia’s Yogyakarta project office has supported more than 13,000 families since the program began in 1999. Habitat Indonesia also works with a broad network of partners, including government agencies, microfinance institutions, nongovernmental organizations, faith-based organizations and cooperatives, to help address the country’s housing challenges.

During this build, volunteers will work alongside local families, a building contractor and community volunteers to help construct a one-bedroom, one-bathroom home measuring approximately 28 square meters (301 square feet).

Construction tasks may include:

• Mixing cement.
• Bending and wiring rebar.
• Digging and laying the foundation.
• Erecting walls.
• Laying bricks.
