PRACTICES

“Increasing Access to Clean Water Using Microfinance”
Expanding piped water services does not
by itself guarantee increased access to clean
water, as there is a substantial upfront cost
that many families around the country can not
afford. On average, new customers must pay
a connection fee of approximately US$ 150
to tap into a municipal piped water system.
This charge can be as high as US$ 300, in case
where the pipe network has to be extended in
order to reach neighborhood.
Indonesia Urban Water, Sanitation, and
Hygiene (IUWASH) ramp up an approach
implemented under the Environmental
Services Program (ESP), whereby new
customers can amortize cost of a new
connection through a partnership between the
water utility and local microfinance institution
(MFI). This is an innovative and affordable way
for the community to access basic services
using financial inclusion.

“Zero Capital” And “Soap“ Rotary-Saving Clubs
(An Inspiration from the PKH group at Serpeng and at Kranggan Gunungsari)at Kranggan Gunungsari)
PKH group at Serpeng and Kranggan Gunungsari develop unique activities to help each other. At Serpeng, they
first create a fictitious rotary-saving clubs. They imagine getting a big loan. However, they pay the installments for
real. This way, they manage to raise funds to start real saving and loan activity. Meanwhile, at Kranggan, the rotarysaving club is not in form of cash saving. The group uses sachet of soap as a mean of saving.

“Sorry Miss, I Have a Lots of Kids”
(Inspired by Tri Wardani, an RTSM in Semuluh Kidul)
The PKH group informed me that Tri Wardani, who had already seven kids, was pregnant again. She refused to
check her pregnancy to the Puskesmas. Her eldest child was suspended from school. I and the group leader
came to meet her. We manage to persuade Tri Wardani that, since she was a PKH recipient, she has to check the
pregnancy and get on the birth control program. She understood and apologized for all the things that happened.
“I’m sorry mam, for I have lots of kids,” she said.
