Environmental Care Community
(
Civil society organization

#SDGAction50274
Description
"15,000 people in Manasari village, Timika Papua are still living without clean water. This number reaches 25% of the total population. The majority of residents in Manasari village live in remote coastal and island areas where they still have to spend a lot of time fetching water from the river for their family's needs.
The time taken to fetch this water not only keeps many children in Manasari village from going to school or causes their parents' time to earn income to be confiscated, but also the water they use often causes health-threatening diseases due to the disposal of Freeport company waste. . Availability of access to clean water equals increased education, health, and income for Manasari residents."
- All households in Manasari use ceramic filters to treat water from wells
- All households in Karangasem show an increase in behavior towards water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) management
in an effort to reduce waterborne diseases
- 100% of households use ceramic filters from my team
- The Manasari village hall treats water centrally to ensure the safety of all water distributed to residents
Manasari village has a WHO-standard PDAM that is connected to 10 villages
100% treated water distributed according to WHO hygiene standards
All households, women's community, indigenous peoples in Manasari village consume safe drinking water, free from harmful pathogens and iron contamination
My name is Adolfina Kuum from Timika Papua, I am the general coordinator of the environmental care community. Starting active campaigns about the issue of women and customary people of victims living in the PT.Freeport mine ring area in the mountainous area and the coastal area of Timika due to mining damage where the company discarded the tailing industry waste without clear procedures. About 6000 people in the coastal area are still alive Without clean water. This number includes 30 percent of the total population. Most of them live in a remote coastal area that takes about 6-8 hours to row a canoe to get clean water from the river at least once every two days. Even then, the water they got was not necessarily safe because it was close to the area of PT Freeport's gold mine tailings waste disposal area that had been disposed of its waste since 54 years ago to Sungau Wanogong or Ajkwa. The environment around the village has been unhealthy since the Sugai-Sungai became shallow and turned into a poisonous land due to the largest rock and sand puddles in the world. Women and children are forced to find water and take up their time to take care of their families, work and go to school. Many children in the village drop out of school. Suffering due to environmental destruction is mixed with the impact of climate change which makes it more difficult for people to find income from the sea.
The focus of our commission is to advocate the community in 23 villages and 3 sub -districts affected by Freeport tailings. My friends and I established this community since 2013, 10 years ago. What we do is documentation, research, campaign, and mediation. Our goal is that Freeport and the government see the impact of their work. We are now losing rivers, forests, small islands, sacred forests and also livelihoods and the culture of the community. They have the responsibility to rehabilitate the damage they caused. Adolfina works by advocating the community affected by tailings pollution, women victims in the mine and female victims on the coast, rivers in 23 villages are now damaged and cannot be used for transportation or livelihoods, and women face the water crisis to support their needs .
Next I attach a field video from our community activities, thank you
