Generate Income & Hope From Non-Recyclable Garbage

When XSProject learned that the trash picker families we have been working with all these years were going to be evicted, we took this as an opportunity for us to find a new and better place for the children. There are many reasons that triggered this action.  But the number one reason is that through the support of many generous donations, the situation of the children has improved significantly: mentally, physically and intellectually. To maintain this quality the children, need a better, cleaner and greener place to continue to grow and to learn.

We found a place nearby the current trash picker location and we have started the development since the beginning of the year. We still have few more units to build, so we invite everybody to be part of the children journey in this new place

The new location is being designed as a better, cleaner, and greener space for the Cirendeu children to learn and explore.  The new site will have a community center, library and health center for the children, as well as a small office and workshop for XSProject.

Last month we introduced the site to the community with a tree planting.  Donors and supporters met with the children and planted 13 Indonesia fruit trees. The following week, the Middle School children planted some traditional herb plants.

The new location will be a place for the children to learn and to explore not only inside the room but also outside. We hope to invite more children from the surrounding area, so they too can get the benefit of our new location

We invite you to be part of this journey with your donation through Global Giving, and we thank you so much for the generous support.

It is that time again for the community, to have new communal bathroom and water tanks.

It has been about 10 years ago since we have provided new water tanks and towers for each group within the community. Some are still in the good condition but some already badly need new tanks.

We just given 2 water tanks to 2 leaders of the groups, Mamat and Wardi.

Mamat and Wardi   have both been working as the head of the group of trash pickers for most of their lives.  Many trash pickers and their families life depend on both gentlemen not just for their day-to-day income, but also for their living facilities.

Mamat and Wardi are always looking after their people, including making sure the place has a decent communal bathroom and running water for families to take baths and to wash clothes. 

This week they both received new water tanks.   Mamat had been thinking of repairing the communal bathroom for quite sometimes, so when he was able to collect some initial funds with his people, he came to us for additional support and proposed his plan.

We are very happy to help Mamat repair the communal bathroom. He and other adults are working together to have better water facilities for bathing and so the women can wash their family’s clothes. 

Your donation to XSProject through GlobalGiving will have a direct impact on making this happen. XSProject can provide more families with necessary facilities to ensure beter hygiene and help avoiding on going health problem associated with poor sanitation.
