Satar, A Tempe Seller

who Received Dug Water

Well

Konawe, EGSLP—“We, the villagers of Belatu village are so

thankful for the help on dug water well distribution that facili-

tated by EGSLP-CIDA in our village.” Said Head of Belatu vil-

lage in Public Audit of Dug Water Well Distribution Clesi

Event.

EGSLP facilitates many villages that still do not have access to

clean water, especially in Konawe District, South-East Sulawesi.

One of the villages that facilitated by EGSLP is Belatu village in

Pondidaha sub-district. Belatu started the activity from March

12—April 15, 2011. There are 24 units dug water well that di-

vided into 8 units for 3 stages of development. For the first

stage, there are 5 from 8 units as a well rehabilitation (restoring

a well).

One of beneficiaries, Satar (60 years old) who works as farmer

felt blessed with this program. Before this program came, he

took a long distance walk every day just to take some water. But

since there was a dug water well next to his house now, he never

worried about water

matters anymore.

Even now cause of

the new dug water

well, he just started

making Tempe and

selling it in other

villages.

Satar makes Tempe

10 kg per day and

distributes it to other

villages. From this

new activity, he gets addi-

tional income and spends it

for daily needs. “If I still using neighbors’ dug well, it will be

hard to wash soybean there. But now there’s a new dug well for

me, so I can free to use it whenever I want,” said Satar.

Jeffry El-Zinga and Hari Basuki from CIDA visited

Desa Belatu.

CIDA Team came visiting again Gorontalo and Konawe (21-28/11), and

on this chance Ms. Kimberley Heuckroth from CIDA who’s visiting. She

was invited to the tour of some villages under intervention of EGSLP. In

Gorontalo, Ms. Heuckroth visited Biyonga village for Bamboo Nursery

Program. Bamboo Nursery is one of WESI activities that being conducted in

Biyonga Watershed. In that chance, Ms. Heuckroth from Cida was accompa-

nied by staffs of Forestry Services of Gorontalo District and BAPPEDA

Gorontalo.

In Konawe she went to some villages like Angohi village. She and the rest

members of group checked private toilets in some houses and also delivered

some questions to the beneficiaries. Angohi village is one of many villages in

Konawe which get distribution for toilet materials. The people of Angohi are

poor and most of them do not have private toilet in their house, so it’s impor-

tant to help them on that case. Besides Angohi, Ms. Heuckroth also visited

Public Audit in Alosika village and Gender Mainstreaming Seminar in Dawi-

Dawi village.

A s a form of responsibilities

and support for the ongoing

programs in Gorontalo, Gov-

ernor of Gorontalo, Dr. Ir.

Gusnar Ismail, MM surveyed some ac-

tivities of community members. EGSL

program was one of those programs that

reviewed by the Governor. On Wednes-

day (3/10), the Governor went to Pauwo village, one of EGSLP’s intervention villages, to

see Public Toilet Building that already constructed in May 2011.

Today the Villagers of Pauwo can use it very well. They were also very happy to discuss

with the Governor directly about their activities. Seeing this activity, the Governor has com-

mented that he was very surprised to see progress of EGSLP implementation activities, espe-

cially in Gorontalo.

SES Governor Visits

Puundombi Village

S outh East Sulawesi (SES)

Governor, Nur Alam, just

visited Puundombi Village in

Tongauna District (11/11) due

to National Health Day 2011.

Puundombi village is one of

137 villages in Konawe that included

in the work area of EGSLP. Together

with him in his working visit, Muh.

Andi Baso Nasir (SES BAPPEDA

Head) and the staffs.

In his speech, the governor, instructed

Puundombi people to make health and

sanitation as their first priority in their life. Because it is major factors of being life better

and prosperous. The governor said that Konawe Sehat (Konawe’s Healthy) is the major goal

from integrated programs like Program Permata (Jewel Program) in Konawe District and

Program Bahtermas (Bahtermas Program) for SES.

Konawe Menuju Sehat (Konawe Goes for Healthy) is an important icon in increasing health

services for Konawe people. And this challenge has been answered by villagers in Puun-

dombi village with constructing 58 private toilets for 58 families. Uluaao, Ambopi and the

rest villages in Tongauna sub-district also did the same. The materials distribution for the

toilets was supported by Canadian Government (CIDA) through EGSL Program in one pur-

pose with Konawe Menuju Sehat.

Water Purification in Wowasolo village

Konawe, EGSLP— There

is no disease that comes

suddenly but surely

through a process that is

mostly determined by indi-

vidual life style itself, says

Mashuri Posimbi, SKM,

M.Kes, a speaker for Water

Purification on September

24, 2011 in front of 30 par-

ticipants in training that

was held in Wawosolo village, Wonggodeku. Posimbi said that

before thinking global problem like global warming, people

should fix their life style especially in environmental matters.

Good attitude in environmental matters would affect global en-

vironment, then they can fix environmental problems around

them (including clean water problem).

There are 4 important things to be noted in reaching environ-

mental health standardization; good private toilet, clean water

sources, trash bin, and good household waste management.

Good water is not just clean, but also fulfill health requirements;

physical, chemical and bacteriological requirements, says

Posimbi. Then he told them about characteristics of good clean

water and how to eliminate odors from water. What is interest-

ing in this training is to do a pre test and post test, the results of

the 30 participants experienced an increase in the value of a test

before and after administration of the material, so it can be con-

cluded trainees listened carefully the assigned material.

Sanitation and the Importance for Society

Limboto, EGSLP— Sanitation is a part of behavior to live in a

healthy and clean environment. It aims to make people more

aware of the importance of improving their health for the sake of

cleanliness personally

and generally. Many

people do not know

yet about the impor-

tance of sanitation so

that sanitation semi-

nar should be held for

them.

EGSLP provides

sanitation awareness

program to the com-

munity sanitation in the villages that included its intervention

area in Gorontalo and Kendari. Like Environmental Sanitation

Awareness seminars that conducted in Bongohulawa, Limboto

(06/07/11).

There were quite a few people who attended on that occasion.

Experts from Line Agencies in Gorontalo District were coming

to deliver the material. One of them was Elvis Ayuba S. KM (in

picture) which is a staff from health institution Kab. Gorontalo.

He gave an explanation how to store and treat clean water well.

If we see the enthusiasm of the participants, we could see the

hope of good sanitation future in their face.

Overcome Problems of Waste Disposal using SPAL

(Wastewater sewer)

Gorontalo, EGSLP– One of many sanitation problems that com-

munity has in sanitation scope is poor waste disposal. Some

people in villages are often made dizzy with this problem seem

trivial.

As happened in Pilohayanga village in Gorontalo, some people

complain of puddles that always come up every time it rains.

This is due to the lack of good drainage in their settlement. Then

they conduct a verification and manufacturing planning SPAL

(wastewater sewers).

SPAL is made to flow through household wastewater sewers to

a point. SPAL also prevent the possibility of a puddle on the

settlement, especially when the rainy season comes. Making

SPAL in the village Pilohayanga take up to 6 months, and after

that no more complaints anymore about this.

CLESI NEWS

Build Latrine to the End Latoma

Latoma, EGSLP – Nesowi village is a village that located at the

tip of Latoma District, South East Sulawesi. It is not easy to

make a journey to that village, especially with terrible and steep

road conditions. Like other villages in Latoma, Nesowi has not

been established for sanitation scope. This is because of not

many people in Nesowi have toilet in their houses.

The first thing of what EGSLP doing in Nesowi is to conduct

Environmental Sanitation Awareness. After that the people there

was proposing to build toilets for 27 households. This activity

cost only IDR 13 Million for that many good toilets. This is ex-

cellent progress due to the condition that is the village is very far

from town and need bigger cost than only 13 Million for more

than 10 latrines. Audit Public for this activity was held on Sep-

tember 23, 2011.

WESI NEWS

Marisa, EGSLP – WESI activities just began in 2011 in Konawe and

Gorontalo. Like in Marisa Watershed area, Gorontalo, two activities

just started there; Training on Making Organic Pesticides and Training

on Forest Trees Breeding (Mahogany and Breadfruit). Organic Pesti-

cides Production was held on November 22, 2011. People there were

asked to be more aware with all natural things around them, because

those things can be very important for life. The example is many plants

in their backyards that can be utilized as organic pesticides i.e. Papaya

leaves, Castor Oil leaves, Bael fruit, Lemon / Oil grass, and Thai gin-

ger. An organic pesticide is an important thing for pest control and pre-

vention naturally without damaging the soil and plants components.

Meanwhile another activity, Training on Forest Trees Breeding has been go-

ing for on 2 meetings. At the second meeting, participants have set the loca-

tion and do the filling medium (polybag) for nursery process. The community

has chose Mahogany and Breadfruit as the trees that they want to develop.

One of reasons for that is especially for Breadfruit tree; nowadays it is seldom

to be found in Gorontalo. Yet the Breadfruit tree (the fruits) is one of the fruits

that often be used by the community. In this activity, K2DAS has collaborated

with Forestry Service to run this training.

Goodbye Pak Haji, we will miss you.

Lawulo, EGSLP - Rattan is a non-timber forest that grows in the

forests of Southeast Sulawesi. Think that rattan cannot be util-

ized, but if it is converted into a handicraft or useful product, the

resale value will be higher. During this time, rattan just be sold in

raw materials only. But if people want to learn how to make a

handicraft from it, it will be a very good value for them.

Based on that case, K2DAS Mid Lahumbuti held Rattan Handi-

craft Activities and Its Marketing Management for community

that live in Mid Lahumbuti area on Dec. 1-5. The community

knows well about their villages’ potential of natural resources

including non-timber product like rattan. This activity was sup-

ported and collaborated with Konawe Industry and Trade Ser-

vice. The participants which were consisting 20 hh (4 women, 16

men) were able to learn the material during the training. And they

also able to create a rattan product very well. So by this time, the

participants were expected to use their creative ability to increase

their income and as generally to grow their villages economy

rapidly.
