Problem
The communities from the outermost regions do not have the knowledge, the capacities and no financial resources for the most part. Therefore, they cannot construct or imagine technical solutions aimed at improving their living conditions.
The community cannot access a healthy lifestyle, especially because of the problems associated with access to clean water and adequate sanitation solutions.
Water Connections

Drilling Well
To get a better quality of clean water, it is necessary to measure and drill wells to a certain depth according to the results of measurements made by experts.
Conventional wells made by local communities generally do not apply measurement methods, so the water obtained does not always get good quality clean water.
The advantages of drilling wells
- Better quality and high change to get quality clean water
- Machine drilled wells allow for deeper depths than manual/conventional wells
Electrical Installation of Water Pumps Up to the Hill
When measuring and searching for underground springs by experts, it was found that the water points for drilling were in hill valleys, so the water had to rise from the drilling point of the well following the slope elevation and well height. hill with a pipe length of approximately 200 meters.
A submersible pump with a total head of more than 120 meters is required and an electric power capacity ranging from 1200 to 3000 watts per hour.
Planned to use 5000-watt diesel generator with electrical installation up to 250 meters.
Ferro-cement Water Tank & Rain water harvesting
Residents have to walk 1.5 – 3 kilometres to springs or wells. Residents do not have water reservoirs around their homes. No one has yet collected rainwater for household needs.
Mbinudita Preparation Village is located in the west-central part of East Sumba Regency which has an average rainfall of 1,500 – 2,000 mm per year* or higher than other areas in the Regency. It’s mean potential to make rainwater harvesting.
The advantages of making ferro-cement water tank
- An inexpensive solution for water storage
- Very High Durability than other materials
- Unlimited flexibility for shape and size
- Easy to build
- Easy to duplicate by the villagers
Water Distributions
Community involvement is an important point in the water
distribution process.
From excavation, pipe installation is involving the beneficiary
community to ensure optimal use and maintenance.
Everything can be done independently without the help of
experts, and all with the spirit of togetherness.
The sense of belonging to the facilities that were built
together will be a strong capital so that the facilities are
maintained and safe.
Public Toilet & Healthy Sanitation
Rural areas are quite far from the city and have limitations, related to building materials and experts. These are a challenge for effective and efficient development solutions.
using the same technology as the manufacture of water tanks, we adopt Ferro-cement for toilets building.
The advantages of Ferro-cement constructions
- Low cost
- Appropriate technology with high durability
- Earthquake resistant
- Unlimited flexibility for shape and size
- Easy to build
- Easy to duplicate by the villagers
Hydraulic Ram Pump (Hydram Pump)
A hydraulic ram pump is a water pump powered by water with height difference levels.
Springs in Mbinudita are available with this method to provide closer access to villagers living in the hills and surrounding areas.
The advantages of making hydram pump
- Uses renewable energy sources
- No electricity power needed
- Very effective in mountainous areas
Nutrition Gardens
In 2013 in East Sumba there were approximately 2500 children of which 51.3% were stunted. Meanwhile, the stunting rate in East Sumba decreased in 2019 to 25%.
The province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) still has the province with the highest stunting rate in Indonesia. Therefore, NTT requires extra education and nutrition since pregnancy.*
The advantages of Nutrition Gardens
- To help in addressing malnutrition & micronutrient deficiencies by consumption of freshly grown vegetables
Capacity Building Community Outreach
Inadequate infrastructure in remote areas and the relatively low level of public education have caused people in remote areas to lack understanding and knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviour and how appropriate technology can be their solution.
Training is needed to increase the knowledge capacity of the community to find solutions and be willing to change behaviour to improve the quality of life and better health.
In this training, the community will be invited to learn together about appropriate technology and infrastructure knowledge, hygiene education to help create behaviour change, knowledge, and beliefs of water health and hygiene in schools, homes and communities.
Activate Water Committee
Ensuring the sustainability of the construction and use of facilities is maintained, it is necessary to have a water committee that will work and serve as supervisors and daily implementers for the maintenance and repair of clean water facilities that have been built.
This will be discussed in the forum and mutually agreed upon by the community, especially the beneficiaries of the facility.
Functions and duties of the Water Committee
- Identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks that have the potential to cause facilities to be damaged or not functioning.

Akses air bersih sudah seharusnya menjadi hak dasar yang harus terpenuhi untuk semua. Seperti dalam tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan atau Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) terdapat pada sektor lingkungan hidup untuk memastikan masyarakat mencapai akses universal air bersih dan sanitasi.
Dengan adanya pembangunan water connection @kawanbaikindonesia bersama dengan @fairfuturefoundation dan @vivo_indonesia diharapkan agar bisa membantu mempermudah akses air bersih untuk warga Mbinudita, Sumba Timur.
#kawanbaik #kawansehat #waterconnection #bangunmbinudita #mbinuditawaterconnections
Fakta menyebutkan jika 43% topografi di Sumba merupakan lahan kering yang terdiri dari perbukitan yang mengakibatkan terbatasnya akses air bagi warga di sekitar.
Seperti teman-teman kita di Mbinudita, Sumba Timur. Jika mereka ingin mendapatkan air bersih, mereka harus berjalan jauh menuju ke dataran rendah dimana ada mata air.
Jika ingin membangun sumur bor untuk mempermudah akses air bersih pun sangat sulit didapatkan, juga harga pembangunan yang sangat tinggi.
Melalui proyek water connection @kawanbaikindonesia , @fairfuturefoundation dan @vivo_indonesia ini, kami berharap teman-teman di Mbinudita, Sumba Timur mendapatkan akses air yang lebih mudah dan terjangkau.

NAFAS URBAN, merupakan sebuah upaya kolektif dalam menampilkan realita dan imajinasi di seputar ekosistem agrikultur urban, berikut dengan segala aspek yang berelasi dengannya.
Ekosistem dan praktik agrikultur urban, menjadi sebidang paru – paru yang mendorong nafas warga kota hari ini, dalam menghadapi potensi serta gejolak krisis lingkungan dan pangan.
Melalui kreatifitas dan kebudayaan, kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memperluas informasi dan meningkatkan partisipasi serta keterikatan publik - dengan inisiatif serta aksi nyata, dalam mewujudkan kepedulian terhadap kondisi dan masa depan ekologi disaat ini.
Serial pembukaan acara ini akan berawal dari lokasi Teman Sayur.

Air untuk air
Seperti yang kita ketahui, proyek
#waterconnections hadir karena terbatasnya air di kawasan Desa Persiapan Mbinudita dan dalam rangkaian proses pengerjaan proyek ini juga dibutuhkan banyak air.
Berbagai cara digunakan oleh warga untuk mendapatkan air, diantaranya menimba air di sumur-sumur tradisional, mengambil air dengan menggunakan jerigen-jerigen ke tandon-tandon air yang telah aktif, mengambil air ke mata air Paiyanu dengan menggunakan jerigen menggunakan kendaraan bermotor bahkan mengambil air di saluran irigasi disekitar proyek dilaksananan.
Air ini digunakan untuk membuat campuran semen dan pasir yang akan menutup semua dinding tandon, pondasi serta bagian atap tutupan, untuk 1 tandon berukuran 5000 liter, kurang lebih dibutuhkan air sekitar 1500 liter (7,5 drum 200 liter).
Dengan semangatnya warga terus mengisi drum air ini sedikit demi sedikit, hingga penuh dengan harapan pengorbanan mengambil air ini akan mendekatkan air kepada warga di kampung-kampung di Mbinduita di kemudian hari.
