[ENG SUB] Sarana Air Bersih di Padukuhan Gebang, Girisuko, Panggang, Gunungkidul

Bringing Water from the Earth: Gebang Hamlet’s Journey to Wuluh Kumet Spring For years, people in Gebang Hamlet, Girisuko Village, Gunungkidul, Indonesia, struggled to access safe water, especially during the long dry season when families depended on expensive water deliveries. Hidden beneath the limestone hills, a spring had long flowed inside Wuluh Kumet Cave—close, yet unreachable. Through collaboration between the community, local government, and ASB South and South-East Asia (ASB S-SEA) via the Seger Waras Programme, part of the Global ECT WASH Programme, water is now pumped from deep inside the cave to a reservoir above the village. This initiative shows how collective effort and local leadership can transform challenges into sustainable solutions for communities. A story about water. A story about community strength. A story about turning hope into reality. ____________________________________ Mengangkat Air dari Dalam Bumi: Perjalanan Warga Gebang Menjangkau Mata Air Wuluh Kumet Selama bertahun-tahun, warga Dusun Gebang, Desa Girisuko, Gunungkidul menghadapi kesulitan mendapatkan air bersih, terutama saat musim kemarau ketika mereka harus bergantung pada pasokan air dari truk. Di bawah perbukitan karst desa, sebuah mata air telah lama mengalir di dalam Gua Wuluh Kumet—dekat, namun sulit dijangkau. Melalui kolaborasi antara masyarakat, pemerintah desa, dan ASB South and South-East Asia (ASB S-SEA) melalui Program Seger Waras, bagian dari Global Program ECT WASH, air akhirnya berhasil dipompa dari dalam gua menuju reservoir di atas permukiman warga. Inisiatif ini menunjukkan bagaimana gotong royong dan kepemimpinan lokal mampu menghadirkan solusi nyata bagi kebutuhan dasar masyarakat. A story about water. A story about community strength. A story about turning hope into reality.
